Taxi........

Just done weather check on Metcheck.com and looking very promising...if not a tad chilly...

So suncream and thermals..... hmmm that sounds dodgy

[ozz]

Looks like a 2 hour 110 mile run from Ferrybridge to Penrith so (2 fuel stops for Terry) so If we aim to leave Ferry Bridge at 10:30 we should be there in time for lunch.

 

Stafford is 2 hour 44 mins 150 miles from Penrith so if that group leaves 9:30 to 10:00 we have a 1:00pm meet for lunch leave by 2:00pm .

 

Then a 2 hour 20 min 133 mile run to the hotel sees us there at about 4:30?

 

Can you have the saltires out by then Whiz?

 

Do these timings sound ok

 

Long day for Phil

We are travelling up to Stafford the day before via Cheltenham, David; do you wish to meet before Stafford & cruise or run more quickly than us OAP's.

Bob. I won't be be leaving until after work so not until maybe 5.00pm so I will just have a dash up the M5/M6 and see you there.

 

As for the rest of the plans, it all sounds good to me.

 

Thanks Paul for the SatNav files, I will download them when I get home and add them to my Garmin.

Not at 8:30 it takes 40 mins to get to fosse park. Thinking if i leave at 7:30 and head up to yours yours might have the coffee machine on when i get there

[fry61]

Will have the coffee waiting at the hotel David; white & one??

Phil, Black no sugar?

Can anyone think of a good meeting point near Penrith with good coffee food and petrol but mainly good coffee?
