"Roses" Meet Late October ?

Just putting feelers out,as it would be nice    to have a "yorkshire/Lancashire" and "North west" meet somewhere in the middle perhaps later end of October.Put your thoughs/suggestions/venues here weekends possibly best for most members. :dontknow:

i'm in  

There's a driving route that I want to try out and then take us all on.

It was in Practical Classics as one of the great driving routes in the north (no, not the Snake Pass!!) more northern.

Would that be interesting? I can't recall the details off the top of my head, road number wise but it takes in a bit of north Lancs, Cumbria and back down the motorway. Pub lunch half way round.

 :dontknow:

there is a pub on the left hand side of the m62. it is right on the tops over looking the res with the big dam.

opposite the farm which splits the motorway?

I. Know where you mean mark its on road down to ripponden .there is a good road over there from littleborough over blackstone edge . I recall the article dano mentioned in practical classics would be interesting  to dig out this one.

sounds good

Pub is the Turnpike Inn between ripponden and M62 J22.

Quite nice to sit outside watching the world go by on the couple of days its not too cold or windy up there.

thats the one. i think it has recently been done up?

London Restaurants, Dentists, Bars, Beauty Salons, Doctors - Yelp

The route is along the A686

Preston to Penrith 74 miles (1.16hrs) leave at j40
Penrith to Haydon Bridge 38 miles (56 mins) A686 with view of Scotland 1900ft above sea level
Haydon Bridge to Carlisle 31 miles (45 mins) A69 dual carriageway
Carlisle to Preston 89 miles (1.43hrs) motorway

Total 232 miles - 4.5hrs driving time.

For a full day out as a driving club this route is highly recommended apparently. I was going to drive it first to check it out before suggesting it to members.

were up for this
will try and round up the Yorkshire folk

:mrgreen:    bump    :mrgreen:

good bump mark .  not sure how i'd not seen this one..  I know the route dano is on about  (over Alston)

I'd sometimes drive over to newcastle that way when working there..

although a Roses meet i would expect a meet round skipton way????

we are in, wherever it is. depending on dates..

count me in.

Come on you Yorkshire members "where are you" :roll:  Littlerolf needs more back up,and what about the Mancs  :dontknow:

Bump

I can do the saturday 29th Oct. Sunday I drive Alexandra home.

guys i could be up for this can you confirm time an place to meet to meet on the saturday

nice one carling. who else is in?

Saturday 29th October fits in good with me, we need to organise a point of meet /venue, the pub on the road near the dam next to the M62 sounds like a good venue what do others think? :dontknow: (And its in Yorkshire! so lets see some "white rose members" to back up "littlerolf" and "carling" ) :roll:

i have put a post on the mk1 chat forum to try and drum up some interest.
