Just had a look on multimap, that is some drive! It looks very long and uses lots of B roads, probably fine in a bloody mini

A night out in Ripon...now there's a tempting thought! I take it you enjoy the company of whippet fanciers, pigeon breeders and sheep shaggers?! (No offence to anyone who comes from Ripon intended!)

So who's in?

[bob mushroom]

having lived around those parts and learning to drive on some of these roads it certainly is a nice drive taking in many "drivers corners". Would recommend anyone to follow the route

Oh and there is a castle at Ripley!!

[bob mushroom]

looks like I killed this thread!!!

[- Paul -]

I'm still up for a North meet.

[vivekk]

We really need to sort a date out.

I'm likely to be away from the end of September for a couple of weeks, but any other week-end should be fine.

One weekend this month is always a possibility.

Considering a UK4 'full' meet would also need to be considered, perhaps for sometime in September, I reckon the sooner the better.

Looking at the list, we have:

Viv (vivekk)
Gav (RockIt)
Steve (Steve Ashton)
Carlos (dxb335d) - we'll need to put it to the vote though , as he's not a 'real' northerner!
Floyd (SoYank)
Paul (1stnewcar)
Pete (peterg1965)
Ken (ken m sport)
(G33) ?
(squeezebm)
Bob (bob mushroom) ?

All the best.
