SATURDAY 4th SEPT - NW convoy to Blackpool Illuminations
Right folks, this is what I'm thinking (out loud!)
Have the run Saturday 4th rather than the Friday evening, this would allow folks from a bit further afield to join us and it's not a work day :mrgreen:
Meet 12.30ish @ B & Q (end M65)
Nice leisurely jaunt from there taking in the views up through Blackpool to Fleetwood. Located there is a McDonalds with rather a large car park and drive-thru allowing the us chance to prep prior to setting the new record for Mk1s through a drive-thru :wink:
Back onto the front for a game of pitch and putt (optional) :roll: :dontknow:
Doss about for a bit then set off back to the Illuminations 6ish then going for chippy, that way shouldn't be too late a night.
How does that sound??
Dano, where's the chippy and what's it called mate??

Yep - Ill have BabyDub - or not as she's 5 now, with me.
Just remember that it goes dark around 8.30-9.00pm so if we're looking to is see the lights at their best we'd have to go around then. That will make it a long day for people with young children, or older people (A5OPY ).
