I was thinking... and *yes* I am gonna do it anyway even if it's billy no mates (apart from the missus who is up for it) ..... but is anyone else up for a weekend meet so we can cruise (errm I mean crawl) through the Blackpool illuminations this autumn?

 

My idea is if anyone wants to make a weekend of it we all book a Saturday night at one of the bigger hotels (that has a carpark!) The rest who just want to make an evening of it come up late afternoon and join the convoy.... and given some dry weather we cruise the illumnations both ways targas off (and heaters on most likely)

 

Then later we hit the town and go to the Motown and Soul club near North Pier (or whatever floats your boat)

 

Just asking around right now to see if anyone else wants to do this....... then hopefull I can get some dates organised and something booked

 

Hope I really am not Billy no mates on this one - but my Z will be on the Blackpool fronts whatever lol

Last time I was in Blackpool I was about 8 or 9 and thats a loooooong time ago lol But great idea Rich:thumbup1:

When in the autum were you thinking ric?

With enough notice, I could be up for a run across... :)

I'll have to be there, I've no excuses!

I could be up for this Rich finances permitting, are you gonna start looking for dates and costs?

Let's see.....

 

Blackpool Illuminations are from 30th August - 3rd November 2013

 

I'm in Spain 2nd - 13th Sept and Rome 3rd-7th October and Denmark around the end of October

 

So let's organise this meet for Saturday 12th October :biggrin:

 

That should be enough notice

 

I'll look for some hotels/prices for anyone wanting to stop on the Saturday night (or longer) and where we can meet up with the day trippers for the illuminations run

 

We will be there Fri/Sat ourselves and make a weekend of it

Rich

More holidays?! I will try to bob down for the day

Unfortunately not all....Denmark is business not holiday :wink:

@phutumsch

 

Actually this meet should be well up your street Andy as you can compete with the illuminations whilst driving the strip. Really mate you need to come along to this one if there is any justice in this world!

 

Rich

Hopefully be up for this Rich! Will either day trip it or stay over Sat night... :)

Could be up for this Rich just hope it doesn't fall in with the plans for my car:-)

Would be nice to see you Gray at last - and most likely your car will be ready well before the date of this meet :wink:

i get home on the 9th of Sept so i will be up for this ..anyone with over heating issues need not apply as the traffic litteraly crawls ...for miles it took me two hours crawl speed in the back streets of blackpool before even getting to the lights on the front as the cars are all re directed to the north shore ....then some grade A **** of a copper gave me grief at the traffic lights in front of my kids , i very impolitely told him to stick his crappy attitude up his rusty sherrifs badge. hope i meet him again in a bar when he is out of uniform ......

Yeah I was wondering if we should meet at a Hotel starting at the North Shore or the South? We can then cruise the illuminations starting from that end, with those who are just there for the day trip then going home from the other end when we all turn round; or of course staying with the rest of us for the return run back to the hotel.

 

Normally we find accommodation at the North end of Blackpool but could look for something at the South shore if that's the better idea?

 

Preferably somewhere big with good car parking. Any suggestions regards a starting point from the locals?
