RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - kernow_joe - 03-12-2012
depending how far up you decide this to be I'll be keen but kendal is looking like it would cost me about £200 just to drive there and back
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - Jonny81191 - 03-12-2012
how about north wales? closer for many, camp in the ogwyn valley, epic roads and I know my way around well enough.
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - the milkman - 03-12-2012
Hmmmm guess jonny has an idea there!! Plus I've not banged a welsh bird before
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - Niall - 03-12-2012
not a bad idea at all jonny
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - Jonny81191 - 03-12-2012
TBH it was a complete eureka moment, it offers everything the Lakes has, but is closer for 99% of people
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - Ed Doe - 03-12-2012
Wales roads are epiccc! Went on holiday with mazz a few years ago, unfortunately no her car, but omg the views were incredible, and I even enjoyed driving the roads in the hdi!! And I know a couple of decent places to stay in the southern Wales area. A village Llangorse has a bunkhouse with a massive paddock and a huge climbing centre next door, as well as horse riding for those inclined to such things! Highly recommend it actually!
EDIT: Im on a hawsss! /oldspice
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - Jonny81191 - 03-12-2012
Actually, the coast roads in Pembrokeshire are awesome, but will be very full of caravanfails, North wales is much more mountainous and less "caravanish".
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - c.gerrard - 03-12-2012
As nice as Wales is, I reckon the Lakes would be a lot better! Scenery is a lot nicer, the twisty roads are more fun (if you can handle them, and yes I'm on about you Ginge), but wherever the banter may be, I'm sure it'll be awesome
Oh and enjoy the petrol bill all you '6 foookers
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - Poodle - 03-12-2012
And herein lies your problem, 90% of the mods own 6's, so will never allow a club meet to happen that far away. Fooby has only bought an HDi estate so they can load up a-team stylee to pimp-slap anyone who tries it.

North Wales is missions from Norfolk!
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - Curt - 04-12-2012
I think that's a pretty good idea, being more central and easier for most people. It all sounds well and good, and a lot of people will say they're up for it... but a lot of the time it comes down to cost. I know I probably wouldn't be able to purely because of fuel costs! But Wales would be much more doable

Right I'll tell you this for nothing - the most speeding tickets handed out per capita of any country in the UK = Wales I personally have had 11 points from them in the last 7yrs, my dad has had 3pts (his first ever) so be afraid, be very fcukin afraid if you already have points cos the welsh police don't take kindly to 4mph over the limit and you're unlikey to want to drive back there if you're lucky enough to be offered to go on the speed awareness course :o

Spring/Early summer club meet - THE_Liam - 04-12-2012
To be honest, for the southern lot north Wales isn't much nearer, probably 100 miles difference if that, and Kendal is easier to get to being right on the M6?
To be honest, I'm not suggesting Cumbria because it's up north, I'm suggesting it because of the awesome roads, great pubs and great camping, and it's proximity to the Dales with more awesome roads. Plus, Welsh traffic cops are Nazis.
I'm happy wherever though, another weekend of banter would be awesome wherever it is
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - Jonny81191 - 04-12-2012
So another poll for the location? Then we can set a date and people can get the time off work/get a loan if they own a '6
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - Piggy - 04-12-2012
wales + camping = cold&soggy
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - ginge191 - 04-12-2012
I'm up for this; perhaps AFTER april time; i know i'm not the only uni student here, and uni goes mad pre-may...
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - Poodle - 04-12-2012
Poll says no...
Sounds like a plan Jonny, the more notice we've got the better.
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - Pompey306mark - 04-12-2012
anywhere in th UK + camping = cold and soggy.
But thats part of the fun.

Most of the mods wont go to any meets north of the M4 (wankers) and I think youll find that half of the Staff own diesels Ruan, Me, Darren, Fooby and Matt.

Why dont you accept that you might have to miss this and come to PPCITP in May
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - the milkman - 04-12-2012
Okay I'm just gonna throw this out there, look for somewhere midland ish so no one is traveling to far, look for camping if people want that as its cheaper so more fuel if your daft and have a 6 and we decide before newyear so everyone can book off work and know for uni? Just what I think
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - Matt - 04-12-2012
Should just do it in the park next to the caravan
Haha. Tbh I don't mind where we go now I have the DT lol
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - Eeyore - 04-12-2012
lakes will be amazing! Maybe we can have a summer meet in cornwall and all go to the beach
Spring/Early summer club meet - ash240970 - 04-12-2012
Will someone just feckin decide - those that want to go will go no matter what, those that look for excuses won't make the effort.
Spring/Early summer club meet - THE_Liam - 04-12-2012
I'd suggest the peak district for awesome roads and convenience but their all covered in cameras and traffic cops. Snake Pass is fecking epic though, and there are loads of campsites and pubs, plus it might keep the southerners happy because it's just off the M1 via Snake Pass and it isn't technically the north because it's mostly in Derbyshire...
RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - Andy - 04-12-2012
The Midlands is quite far for us southern fairys all the way down in Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. Remember how far Darren had to travel to get to FCS this year. A fooking mileage. Ideally you need to look at areas around the country with have a higher concentrated volume of members. And work out where us central. that way it's fair. Well in my eyes anyway but I know you all hate me

RE: Spring/Early summer club meet - Dum-Dum - 04-12-2012
I still think Cornwall will be better for weather in April cos the couple of degrees warmer could be the difference between being able to have a nice weekend and freezing our nuts off in a muddy puddle

How's this then. There will be a camping meet, in the Lake District, in April.
I will find a campsite, and I'll stick up a separate thread with a poll for dates, and information on where the campsite will be. The poll will be closed before the end of January.

I'll be definately up for a beach meet in Cornwall in the summer

Chill, the thread has been up less than 2 days, no need for the location to be 100 per cent set yet considering its not until end of April.
