Stevo Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Ok no worries. Week before or after then? Got an extra day off work tomorrow, so if the weather is decent again me and the lass will be taking a nice leisurely drive in the country side :-) Will report back (about the drive).

Stevo Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Ok, well I made the drive this afternoon and it is one helluva route with some stunning scenery! I reckon with a stop for some photos and pub grub along the way, it could easily take 4-5 hours. Roads are a combination of fast straights and some nice twistys – including some very tight hairpins. Much of the route is across relatively ‘high altitude’, open moorland taking in some of the North Pennines and the roads were very quiet today . All surfaces are suitable for our motors, with tarmac along the whole length being in ok to good condition. There is a bone-shaking bit through Alston up a cobbled road but it doesn’t last long… The only potential issues would be the odd very tight corner to catch people out, no barriers on the road-side, a fairly good chance of sheep in the middle of the road and the weather over the moors can be very changeable with the clouds coming low. If the weather is good, it’ll be a great drive out providing people are sensible and drive according to the roads and the conditions (and of course the law). Finding spots for some great photos along the way will not be hard – finding somewhere we can all stop for stationary shots is a different matter! Depending upon final numbers, there is the odd stretch of road were a few could pull over, but given that the roads are so open the best bet would be for a few of the cars to have passengers taking pics from the window on the move. As the date has changed now, I’ll start a new thread with all the details on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rays the roof Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) Hey everyone. I am arranging JAE for the club this year and wanted to invite as many people from the NE as possible. It is going to be a great event and we want to get the biggest club turnout ever. The official thread is here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=176765 I will coordinate regional convoys to meet up with each other where possible, (eg NE & Yorkshire), if I can get a local member to take responsibility for their region. Any volunteers?? TOM?? Ramondo PS You will have the chance to redeem yourselves for the very poor NE tug of war effort in 2007!! You know who you are!!

Guest Rays the roof Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 JAE is fully booked and is being kept away from general public awareness until nearer the time.
