LAKE DISTRICT meet; 29th July

[karl1989]

were abouts in harrogate is the meet going to be. i might come if i have nothing planned.

[ginge191]

This won't be in Harrogate now; it's going to most likely be the lake district.

We do need a Yorkshire meet though, it's been a while. Anyone fancy meeting at one of the Retro Rides meets in Sheffield? First Monday of each month...

[karl1989]

[THE_Liam]

Sounds like a plan. I'll have a look on RR and make sure it's still in the same place because I haven't been for a while, and then ill knock up a thread

[ginge191]

Haha! Hijacked thread! :p

You can carry on though we're going to lake district instead now

RR meet in Sheffield

EDITED:

EDIT::

So change of plan now; we're heading to the Lake District for the first day and heading to Lake Ullswater (she doesnt know this yet) then heading to a Steam Show, kindly pointed out by MHairy himself.

After this, we'll probably grab some dinner then meet up somewhere before heading to our hotel.

I'm suggesting MARK would have the knowledge on this one? 'you' know where we're going to be, so anywhere in particular? perhaps meet up for a coffee somewhere with the cars for an hour; maybe around 7/8pm??

[HDIkyle]

Dam abit far for only an hour or so

[mark_airey]

Your staying a million miles from anywhere as I pointed out

I would suggest Coniston as I loves it and you will like the drive as most of the traffic will have done one by that time, and the weather better be nice! if it is I will take you somewhere fun for an explore

[ginge191]

lol yeh, we are staying a fair way out the way, but coniston and that area would be fine for a meet up, as long as we dont drive too far north after, as we gotta head back down for accomodation that eve

[mark_airey]

Its maybe 40 mins from coniston to barrow mate, don't worry, and I am up the A590 from the bottom of windermere lake so we won't be going much further up than that If its any consolation I will be in barrow at 7:30 AM on monday for work which is 30 mins from bed.......... ROFL

and don't forget to bring things for me this time

[c.gerrard]

Lakes District meet, count me in

Battle of the 5dr sigmas

[mark_airey]

^^ ginge wins, yours is too high

[c.gerrard]

But I like to have the ability, and this is a common feature on most cars, to be able to go over speed bumps

[mark_airey]

No issues here with 99% of speedbumps I have ever encountered and you know how low mine is..............

[Jonny81191]

Try Carl's drive Mark, I have *slight* clearance issues at 60mm, if I was up and down there daily, I'd stick at 40mm, especially when winter arrives!

Re meet, I'll be there, might also pop along to the show..

Where you thinking on Coniston? Brown Howe? or further up?

[ginge191]

Can i palm this onto mark to grab some phone numbers and such; and just circle a group text with a postcode/location?

[mark_airey]

Lol, cheers Ginge,

I was thinking to meet here - https://maps.google.com/maps?q=54.371665...1&t=h&z=17

and then maybe head to hodge close as its easy to get to and interesting

Providing the weather isn't shit that is!

[Jonny81191]

ee, that'll be grand as 'owt that will!

Providing Ginge brings the weather with him!

[mark_airey]

Ginge, you can just follow me up if you like? Will meet you somewhere easy but we can sort that nearer the time

[ginge191]

Yeh can do mate; text me your address and I'll look at fitting it into our schedule

[THE_Liam]

Bit far for me lads, sorry. Good thing I organised a Yorkshire meet

[c.gerrard]

Got a little bit hungy whilst waiting, so a make shift bbq took place......

All the time -_-

[c.gerrard]

Yes, it was rather short and sweet though!

Shame about the weather, that hardly ever happens up here, i swear

Hope it wasn't anything catastrophic

[Jonny81191]

It's the summer, that was just the sun sweating!

[ginge191]

Was great seeing you guys in the lakes; some awesome roads and not ashamed to say that after bashing the derv in its comfortable surroundings, I did feel a little queezy after. Touché lake district roads..
