1st May- Not exactly a meet - but welcome to join!*UPDATE*

[Anonymous]

Basically the weekend of 23rd April Ive booked myself in to the Travelodge at Scotch Corner for 2 nights - £19 pernight which I thought was canny!

Having abit of a Northern Driving weekend in the Yorkshire Dales

Plan is:

Friday 29th April - travel to Scotch Corner
Satuday 30th April - redo the Yorkshire Dales Buttertubs route with plenty photo opportunities
Sunday 1st May - check out and head for the Ribble head viaduct (do a google search lol) and plan a route over there before heading down the M6 and across back to Leicestershire!

*UPDATE*

Bit of a change of plan for this...
As Andy is keeping his Puma and has decided to come along this will be moved to the weekend after.
Also we will be out with the cars on the Saturday BUT
Sundays plan is to stay the same: meet at Scotch Corner, your welcome to join us along the Buttertubs Pass to Ribblehead viaduct - down the M6 and heading back to Leicestershire

A very long time ahead for me to plan anything but guess what...as it's you and I can fall out my bed and be at Scotch Corner, I'm in!!

Can't turn down a meet of any description so close to home but make sure this thread is hammered nearer the time so I don't forget...lol.

What made you book a weekend up here so early, you missing the North...lol

 

[mort666]

might be very tempted with this one although on two wheels of course.

got a winter project for the bike and if I have my dates correct, the weekend after that will be the first official unveiling at a bike club meet, so if I'm allowed I might use your weekend as a shake down run (you don't have to wait for me when it breaks down by the way :lol

 

[yippeekiay]

We wont!!

(Joking )

The road leading up to the viaduct is fab - really smooth and lots of sweeping bends.

 

[Anonymous]

Yeah Neil, thats why I want to go. And when youd said about going to find it lol its somthing I wanna do!!!

 

[Neil]

If you look on Google Earth, there is a good photo opportunity right in front of the viaduct. I tried to find the track leading to it last time I was there, - I have no idea how I missed it! Looking at it on Google, it's pretty obvious where it was!

Top Gear did the new Jag XK test all around that area - those are some great roads k:

Remind me on again closer to the time.

Does the route mean I'll have to double back as your going down the M6. that's my understanding.
