Hi

 

Its the turn of clarkmagpie (Nick) to pick a venue for August's meet and he couldnt have picked a better place than this.

 

Hartside Top is the highest cafe in England at 1904ft above sea level. The cafe itself is located 17 miles from Penrith so its kinda slap bang in the middle of North/NW and NE regions. I am going to open this up to the Scottish and NE crew so if your interested guys and gals then give get your name on the list.

 

Time: 11.30am

 

Here is a couple of websites

hi guys. Thanks for today. Yas nice to meet you all for the first time. Hopefully ill pop over to a couple more :-) location yas definately a good one and yas a great drive.

was a good day! Although i was late (as usual) and it seems that the penrithians were out to kill me on the way home.... they had three attempts!

what happened to you like?

 

think pete tried to wipe a few out on blind corners on the way back! lol

ah well, i had a biker have a good go who didnt see 2 tons of jap sports car, right behind petes car... He must have been dazzled from the paint job... or more likly brain dead.

had some zafira pull out in front of me on the way back, good thing i was only going slow.

and THEN had a van have a little go in the village just before the A66, came trundling down the hill it was indicating and it just tried to pull infront of me, obviously hadnt seen the invisable 2 ton jap sports car! so i anchored on again and slid to a halt (well abs works at least!), when we both stopped we were looking at each other i admit he did look mildly concerned that he come within inches of writing my car of... the guy behind him in the golf shook his head!

what happened to you like?
