headhunter Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Good news Andy. Meeting - provisional time 09.00 in the carpark with a view to being off at 09.30 latest on Saturday, probably 30 minutes later Sunday. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Unfortunately i can't make this one now- prior engagement with other fat more attractive people calls!!! Walfy was supposed to be passenger with me but as i can't make it I think he might go with weeble instead- he can confirm though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Just looking ahead to next weekend and wondering how many groups we will have. If everyone who said they would turns up then we will need 6-7 groups of trucks and, consequently, 6-7 group leaders. I am happy to lead a group and earlier in this thread Pete Attryde and V8 Freak also offered to lead - that does leave a small deficit. Is anyone else willing and able to lead a group? All you need is maps and a highlighter pen - the relevant map numbers were dealt with earlier in the thread, IIRC it is 124, 125, 135 and 136 - and ideally a co-driver to read the maps. You can then copy the lanes off my (or someone's maps) on the FRIDAY EVENING and lead a group off on the Saturday AM. I would think that as a minimum your group would want to buy you a pint in recognition of your efforts and investment. This event cannot go ahead without group leaders/map readers. Leaders so far: gbmud V8 Freak Pete Attryde Thanks all. I will be away over the weekend but I am sure that V8 Freak, Les or Headhunter will keep the list of willing volunteers updated.

Pete Attryde Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Although I will still lead a group if I have too , I would rather not, as the 90 is such an unknown quantity at the moment. Has any one got any routes for memory map for the area? Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Humphreys Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 V8 freak has lots of overlays for the area. I have more I will try to get to him tomorrow or monday. But I am out laneing in the area tomorrow. As it happend, as it is now next weekend, I am off friday and saturday. So if you do get stuck for leaders I might be able to help out saturday. But as I have been out 2 weeks in a row she (the wife) might have other plans But we can always put the plans off That as you do not mind been lead by a Toyota Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Paul Thanks for the overlay/mapping help and the offer for Saturday, I will have a chat with Chris on Monday to see where we are at with leaders. I know your unrivaled experience of the area would soften the disgrace of having "the car in front" leading! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timpo Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Apologies, I am no longer able to attend. Have a good weekend. Timpo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeSheds Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Final domestic arrangements have been made and my plans are now fixed and, except for something drastic happening, I will be there for the Saturday only from 09:00 to 19:00 and will have a spare seat if anyone is in need. If there is a potential 'path-finder' who needs a ride for Saturday I also have MM and a CB. I'm REALLY looking forward to meeting everyone - bit of a shame I can't stay for the evening, but I should manage a quick one before I have to leave. Roger p.s. I can't recall seeing anything about contact numbers - it would be nice if I could call someone in the unlikely <ahem> occurrence of a breakdown... I am happy to trade PMs with my mobile number to a few key people if it is felt that this would be ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Freak Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Paul / All, I've done some work on Pauls overlays and marked the lanes he's driven over the last 2 years in North Wales. We can share the file around on Friday night / Saturday morning for those with Memory Map. I'll save it in a few formats to hopefully cover various versions.

Paul Humphreys Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I should be able to pop up friday eveing, as long as I do not get called into work on my day off. So bring a highlighter pen and I will mark a few maps Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Hi All, Definitely looking forward to next weekend. Just a few things left to fix before the. As I'm coming a fair old way for this weekend (Surrey) I'll be combining the trip with picking up some wheels n tyres on the Friday. Obviously being in a 90 I'll be carrying a fair few of them on a ROOFRACK!!!! Not wishing to go laning with any of this stacked on top I'm looking to see if there's anyone local who would be good enough to let me leave these at their's in a reasonably secure place until the Sunday afternoon. Any offers could you please get in touch by PM. I should have Memory Map with me and CB if I can bring it to life TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Group leaders - the trip can't go ahead without anyone willing to point the way. I don't have a set of maps yet (and with good ol' Royal Mail I think I might have to go to seek some from a shop during the week) so: I'm willing to lead a group, with this proviso for everyone following me: My Ninety is twenty five years old It's only done 1000 miles in the last six months, so it's a bit of an unknown quantity It's probably going to break down George will be map-reading She normally uses TomTom to get to work Using a map for George usually means obscuring at least one mirror and half the windscreen. She tends to have a sense of humour failure when people laugh at her I don't always follow her directions anyway if I think she's got it wrong We'll all need a sense of humour to get to the end of the day Think of it more as a convoy with a floor show than a laning weekend and we'll get along fine.

GBMUD Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 This event cannot go ahead without group leaders/map readers. Leaders so far: gbmud V8 Freak Pete Attryde Turbocharger (George!) So, after a whole weekend one more group navigator has emerged, thanks John and George. Pete, I am sorry to say that it looks like you are going to be stuck with this unless either a lot of people do not show or some MORE PEOPLE VOLUNTEER to make this trip a success for everyone. Remember everyone, we need people to read a map, that is all, there is no research to do, PaulH has done all that for himself and is kindly willing to share the knowledge with us. All you need is a few maps, a highlighter pen and to ask someone to help mark the maps correctly on the Friday evening at the pub. After that navigation is easy. Without map readers there will be a lot of people spending their weekend on the steam railway/canal trips! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Attryde Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Chris, That's fine. I have a similar list of provisio's as John about age and condition of vehicle, coupled witht the fact that I have only managed to finish the major mechanical bits yesterday, so will have done about 150 miles (on road) in it prior to the trip. Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris123 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I might well have a passenger so I'm more than happy to hand them a map and let them navigate. Will have a CB fitted too. So count me in to lead a group... just don't get too upset if we end up completely lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy.cowman Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Chris123 and I are running up in Convoy, happy to follow his and Mat (his passenger's) navigation so getting lost isn't a problem. Sadly my co-pilot is utterly unable to use a map to get somewhere from anywhere. He can point at Golf Courses and Rivers but that is sadly the limit of his talent!

Aragorn Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I'm going to have to pull out of this unfortunately. The discos sat on the drive with the carbs removed and bits of inlet manifold strewn across the garage floor, and i'll be struggling to get it all finished/reassembled and tuned up for the weekend Fingers crossed for next time!
