Sunday 20th May
This event usually attracts a lot of supercars and is nicely situated near Preston.

Weather pending I'll be there in my Supra.
The Lambo and TVR owners clubs usually attend with a good showing of cars. Be nice to see a line of Supras ;)
If the weathers okay we'll bob along for this. Bolton Abbey looks a nice place to visit. We'll have a picnic and look at the cars too.

Have they moved Bolton Abbey then?
I was planning to go over to this, it's a nice location, price is pretty much the normal cost to park there and there are some great drives around there.
Bolton Abbey is to Bolton as Leeds Castle is to Leeds.
Sounds a good day out, may go to this one!!

It could be a nice mini-meet for some of us NW area and NE area Supras.
I went along to this event last year and there was a line up of TVRs, Lambos and Ferrari... along with Lotuses and all sorts really.
It is an event advertised through PistonHeads but anyone can attend. Last year it was a calm friendly atmosphere situated in a cracking little picturesque (sp?) picnic type area.
looks like fun. wouldnt mind coming for that.
I may have a ride up!!
H.
I might pop along to this - we'll have a chat about it tomorrow.
:( Weathers not looking to promising for this at the moment but we can hope :innocent: LOL
Cheers
Ian
A59 all the way there :thumbs:
shyte - good old british weather !
If its pishing it down then I won't be going. But I'm guessing there will still be plenty other cars turning up.
I went along last year when it was raining and there were still loads of nice cars.
Just re-checked the weather forecast and it is actually looking very good.

It sounds as though you just pay at the normal booth on the way into the car park.
id come but have a fecker of a cold atm :( dont want to give it u lot
The A59 route in is a good one. I could also meet up with you guys.
11am would be a better entry time IMO, but don't want to alter any plans already made if you guys want to get there earlier.
Anybody know any convenient lay-bys or parking areas to meet up at on the A59 ?

Hi Aron there hasnt been any responce to the meeting up and a convoy over there :( so no plans at the moment .......... will you be going down the A65 past Kirby Longsdale and Settle and joing the A59 near Skipton ? your almost at Bolton Abbey when you do, i must admit i dont know of any lay-bys/meeting places on the way there are plenty but i dont know the road well enough to pick a meeting spot out :search:
Revised meeting time say 09:30 set off at 09:45am at the Ticked Trout ?? anyone ???
Cheers
Ian
Not me fellas, got plans now. But there is a Maccys on the A59 at Clitheroe roundabout, that could be a good meeting point for you guys?? Just a suggestion..
Shytot - I'll be coming down the M6 to J31 and then along the A59.
I'm not a fan of the A65 to be honest.... too many speed limits and slow traffic with not many overtaking opportunities.
I should be at J31 by 10am. Then I think it should take the best part of an hour to get to Bolton Abbey?

I have just realised that the 'Tickled Trout' is at J31 !
That is where I will meet you guys ! I'll be there at around 10am ish.
(There should be a few other makes of cars meeting there from the Piston Heads forum between 10am to 10:30).

So does that mean you are venturing over for this Martin??
Venturing over? It'd be rude not to.
Me and Her inside the doors are bringing some grub and going exploring as well.

Hi guys! :D
Cheers for being so friendly today :D. Was a bit daunting as I didn't know anyone other than my mates flatmate (supra mkiii) that I'd dragged along lol
I'll keep an eye out for the Lakes run, and I'll maybe see you at Mascrat before then ;)
Cheers
Kirsty
Glad you all enjoyed it! I was expecting more supercars to show up to be honest, with the weather being perfect for them.
In previous years there have been loads of Lambo's, Ferraris and even the likes of Zondas and GT40's etc. I don't know whether the weather earlier in the week scared them off or what.
But the gathering of cars was impressice all the same and I was glad to see a good showing of Supras :) Thanks for coming along.
Good to see some familiar faces and some new ones also.
Next year a barbeque is a must ! :)
