Drive Out to Hartside - Sunday 10th October 2021

I initially posted this in the North West section but wondered if owners from other areas would like to join in, so it's moved to National to be more inclusive!!! 😉 

Click the link below to view the previous run out in 2013!! 


Folks,
With the nights drawing in and it being dark by 8pm in September I propose that we do a weekend event.
We did this drive out in 2013 and it seemed to be a great success, no one got lost, no one broke down and we made it home safely!! 

Last time there was a cafe half way round but that burnt down a few years back now. Not to be put off, we'll have to take butties (there may be a butty van up there but best not to rely on that).

I propose that we meet at B & Q, just off junction 29 of the M6 at 10am Sunday morning 3rd October 2021, rain or shine!! 

From there we'll set off M6 north to Carlisle and follow the route in the directions provided on the morning of the drive. 

We'll stop where the cafe used to be at the top of Hartside for food and then continue to Hadrian's Wall and Vindolanda, the Roman museum.

Members can choose whether to go in the museum or not but it's pretty good!! 

Continue round the route and back south on the M6. 

This is the link to the last event…

Hi Dano
Please put 2 of us on the list for this. I well remember the last one but can't believe it was 8 years ago. It was a really great day.
Just had a look at Hartside on Facebook and saw the new cafe; shame it's an artist's impression of the planned new one!
It's the view that you go for and if anyone's never driven up that way before, well you're in for a treat
Cheers
David

7 cars so far for this Sunday's drive out. 

Anyone else fancy "wasting" some petrol??!! 🤣🤣🤣

I've been watching the petrol issues around my local stations and the news (which is always hyped to the max anyway), how would people feel about postponing for 1 week to let things get back to a little normality??? 

We might look a bit frivolous if we go on a drive out when folk are struggling to get fuel to travel to work!! 

Dano , I can't make next week but if it's rearranged have a good one, if still going ahead on 3rd I can still attend .

Patrick.

Hi all, I agree with Dano.  Also we're currently having to travel a long way to get fuel and we don't want to be thinking that there's none where we're heading to get back home. For me it's a 300+ miles round trip so not do able on a tank. Hopefully this fuel shortage issue should improve in a week.

I know that Jetta and SciroccoSi can make the 10th too. 

Can I have other peoples' views ASAP? 

Also, if we go on the 10th October can anyone else make it as well??? 

Fully understand the points made in the last few posts. All I can say is that if it goes ahead on the 3rd we'll be there but can't make any other dates.
Cheers

That's a shame David. Are you booked up the rest of the month?? 

Due to the fuel situation I will be struggling to commit 100% perhaps a slight postponement would be an option? Beside the weather isn't looking good, thoughts?

Ok. I think the best option is to postpone until the 10th October 2021 and reassess towards the end of next week. 

Sorry for the disappointment for those who can't make that date. ☹️

Can't make this date i'm afraid as I'm doing an airport run slap bang in the middle of the day!  
Hope it's a good one guys look forward to seeing the pics

Anyone else for Sunday's drive-out??? 

Who's a definite for this Sunday please?? 

Dano I will if there's a few going.
