Peaks/Pennines Meet 10 June 2006
Following on from the Cheshire/South Manchester Pub Meet & some suggestions arising from there I am looking at organising a meet to take place on a Saturday to be decided. The location is up for debate but a likely area is the Peak District/Pennines. I know the area reasonably well & there are some great driving roads. Obviously we need good weather to do the roads/cars/scenery some justice so whilst we can isolate a date at some point we may have to bump it according to conditions with a view to doing it the weekend after, if you get my drift.
Idea is to meet at a convenient location in the morning & drive a scenic & enjoyable route to a lunchtime rendezvous at a place of cold drinks & good food. Afternoon is more driving to a finish time of early evening.
UPDATE.
We have chosen Adlington Hall near Macclesfield. It is easy to find & in a perfect location for the surrounding countryside. The hall itself is closed on Saturdays but the car park is open & large enough to accomodate us & provide a good backdrop for pics.
We are looking at a meet time of 10am on Sat 10th June with 2-3 hours driving through some fantastic countryside to a decent pub for food etc followed by a further 3+ hours of driving. As mentioned previously to do this justice we need to have good weather.
Moggy & i are driving the route & checking locations in stages. We will be able to provide timings & mileages on the routecards.
Confirmed:

Always happy to visit the third world, so I'd be interested but couldn't confirm until nearer the time.
