Very true.

Can we interest you in a northern-ish meet then Andrew? :D

Too much boring busy motorway from here for a day trip I'm afraid, sorry!

Places like The Leopard near Leamington are reasonable for me as the M40 is tolerable at times and there are reasonable country diversions.

I can vouch for the sandwiches and he makes a good cuppa. Plenty of space for a few of us so I'm sold.

Especially if Roberto washes my car whilst I drink his tea.:D

You're quite close the the Peak District there. If we do choose to head over that way we could maybe include a local attraction such as The Carding Shed or Crich Tramway Village.

Now that's talking, Mark.
Especially the Crich idea, that's me down to a TTTTTTram.
Don't you dare choose a date that I can't make.

I'd be up for it, always looking for a decent ride out in the 8, and it'd be great to see Rob again and meet other forum members +++

lovely but..

Holmfirth is another 45 miles north west from me..
Crich would be 35 miles south..The tram museum is not cheap to get in either..
not a problem but
both places would be a parking nightmare.
and a lot of very thin roads.
parking for 1 A8 if you were alone yes.
all depends on the amount of cars really let me have a think???
also we have to consider where people are travelling from.


Yorkshire Air Museum is a great visit i could try and get a discount and special parking there too..
