There's a whole collection of bits either end!
Not keen on them anymore as they have 50mph limit thanks to clueless footballers wink

I have a few other "venues" in mind

There are better places no doubt. I never knew about the 50mph limit there now, I was just trying to think of a northern version of that tunnel they all raved on about earlier in the thread smile

What other places do you have in mind? Buttertubs pass is a good run out, but possibly a little far for some. Plus it means crossing the border into Yorkshire eek

Ok. Seems like Mikey and George have accepted the responsibility of organising a northern meet smile let me know if you guys need help! The weather is reasonable at the moment, hopefully there are sunny days ahead.

You never heard of the 2 Mersey Tunnels ??

Mr Gould will vouch for the accoustics, though the official speed limit is 30mph frown

Me too, I would book into the Wild Boar Tarporley. Lovely looking hotel. OH Tony regularly stays there and its very good value and he says, very good food.

Big car park for a meet up as well and good roads in all directions.

Might be wise to wait a bit as weather for end Jan, early Feb looking to bite us in the rear.

Me too,
Me three.

Just because the pie-eating blue-skinned pigeon-fancying folk of the north won't come down here as they'd burn, doesn't mean we can't put on a couple of coats and go up there! Heated seats will keep us alive!

Yeti,

Have you spoken to Tim at trinity yet about something end of Feb, beginning of March time???

I spoke to him Wednesday and he seems keen to sort something out.
Plus would be another nice little local gathering again...
