The SMACS lads are having a run up into the Dales this Sunday, so how's about meeting up with them for a blast around Ribblesdale and Buttertubs.

Those that have done this before will know why it's unmissable.

Timings TBC, but we'll have a list for starters...

1 - Sticky

 

Yep I'll be up for this.

Went on the Mini heartbeat run yesterday - great little adventure although didn't do all of it. Will post video at some point. Excellent fun watching 70 minis fly around the monument at Castle Howard and fly through a ford wetting/upsetting the locals Some great roads taken in too. The road up to the monument is fantastic - basically a rollercoaster for cars, shame on the way up we got stuck behind 5 MR2s - I think it was the over 60s branch though as they were unbelievably slow

working oh and no car wnak

 

I can vouch for the amazing roads / views etc...

Sticky is a great tour guide, even hangs out of the car and points things out to you

You do realise what time he makes you wake up...right

 

Timing's nowt to do with me on this one, we're in the hands of the SMACS crew.

(Don't think they're man enough for a 4am start )

 

so there i'll be no reversing down dirt tracks and drives this time

 

Nope, the TomTom's going south in the van with the missus, I'll be winging it and using my natural navigation abilities (so we're all fahooked )

 

I'll be in for this if someone has a spare seat going?

 

Good evening wyioc chaps We're making an 08:00 start from pcworld in stockport up the m60/66/65 into chorley, then heading up into t'dales
Only 4 of us so far, and we're all veterans should be fun!

 

Si, if you can get up to mine (nr Junctn 27 M62) you can pop along with me. I'm on call for work but they haven't called me for 15 months so (without wanting to tempt fate) should be ok

 

8:00??????

The roads will be full before you set off! Bunch of softies, what's wrong with 4:00... or 3:30???????

I'll have a look at the route and plan a rendezvous at a mutually acceptable location.

 

Thats what I said, If we started at that time could get a day's work in as well!

Sticky can you do the gel type stickers?

 

Yeah, but they're a real PITA. If it's something you've seen on sale elsewhere then I'd suggest you go with that, if you're wanting something unique then I can do it, reluctantly. It's like working with liquid snot, only much, much gooier.


So, WYIOC chaps, watch this space for timings and meet up points. Should have something sorted by about lunch today.

 

they are for badges on our racecars so one offs. I will send you a piccie and see if you can suggest an easier option.

Cheers Andy

 

Cheers mate, would take the Leon but the brakes need upgrading! They gave off a rather funny smell, and did'nt work too well after going over Emley Moor a few weeks back, so don't think they'll handle a full run out

 

Did you get the piccie?

 

4 - SD possibly in with Stickerus Maximus

 

Yup, I'll reply as soon as I get a couple of minutes at work

 

Right folks.

SMACS are meeting in Sockport at 5am, so can I suggest that we do the same at PC World in Leeds (The one just off the M621) at the same time, 5am.

From there we'll make our way up to the Ribblehead viaduct and either meet the SMACS lads there for a run ove Buttertubs, or depending on time, pop into Ingleton for a 'Caver's Breakfast' and the biggest slice of flapjack you've ever seen. This okay with everyone?

Not the biggest group in the world, but who cares

 

What's this "cavers breakfast"? I want some of that!

 

Muck Fe.

Oh well at least I'm only 5 minutes drive from PC World.

Simon (other Simon....obviously) are you still coming?

 

Bernie's Cafe in Ingleton. Usually go there to refuel after nice 4am start mountain bike rides up Inglebrough in OCTOBER!!!! Brrrrrrr!

Very nice brekkie, pint o' tea, etc.

Shall we make this the official rendezvous point?


Address is 4 Main Street, Ingleton, CARNFORTH LA6 3EB

Reckon we could be there for 7:30 - 8:00, but not sure when they open.
Perhaps meet there and pop up over Buttertubs if we're early?

 

multimap has us there for 6:23 after a 5am start. Meet and buttertubs sounds good to me. But we'll take the long route, and get there a bit later

off to bed now

 

sticky, I've posted on our forum details of the route we're taking. can you go to: http://forums.amita.uk.net/ and go through the registering procedure. I'll email Darren who owns the forum to let you in today Please use the same username.

 

Clicked it, registered, but the only SMACS thing there is a link to yer website

 

So you should be at the Ribblehead viaduct for around 6:30.

Reckon we should meet there, as there's plenty of piccie opportunities to while away a little time if we have to wait for one another.

There's a dirt track leading to the bridge right next to the pub.

See you there.

 

Darren should have sorted it by now, he has to let you in

Ribblehead at 06:30 it is, see you there Just me and Dai atm.

 

Sorted
