I am sure once a meet venue is proposed and I am thinking Edale for the first one then between us local knowledge can propose morning / afternoon drives.
    Definitely blow the cobwebs off
    I?ll firm things up after Phil?s garage day

    Re: Informal Days Out

    Quick update following Phil’s garage day. I’m in the process of working some further details with Gordon & Tim for a Sunday early May based on finishing with lunch in Edale ( The Rambler or The Old Nags Head) with most probably a pre lunch drive out en route to Edale around the Peak District including Winnats Pass ( with various rendezvous points to allow meet ups as we will all be travelling from different locations) based on Gordon’s and Tim’s local knowledge.
    All the best

    Re: Informal Days Out

    Sunday 14th May.
    ( This avoids the Coronation weekend and 2 weeks before AGM). The end game is The Ramblers at Edale in Derbyshire for c 13:00 - 13:30 for lunch. The exciting bit is being mapped out by Gordon and Tim and will involve some challenging Derbyshire Roads where you can explore your cars capabilities, all within legal and Driver limits of course. The drive will be nearer 1hr 30mins once you are in the area. More details to follow re meet points etc but I think we now have enough to ask for an idea of interest, not least so we can liaise with the Ramblers re managing numbers. Apparently Tim knows the Landlord who is a real Petrol Head so we will receive a warm welcome.
    let me know if your interested and I’ll keep the first post updated
    All the best

    Re: Informal Days Out

    Thanks All. Just checked in with Gordon & Tim and they are finalising the route and checking timings, so a massive Thankyou to them. I am sure with their local knowledge we should have opportunity to “Blow the cobwebs off” The route will of course be optional and dependant on where people are travelling from. Once in the Peak District area around Winatts Pass the optional route will be c 1hr to 1hr30m depending where you pick it up before a rendezvous in Edale currently at the Ramblers Inn.
    Everyone is welcome to do their own thing and meet us at the Ramblers Inn which is the real purpose of the informal bit.

    keep you posted

    All the best Neil, Gordon & Tim
