Paul, idea is with enough notice to arrange it so work does not get in the way.

well up for this and distance no object
I have voted for oct as i have my duty sheets in front and i am long weekend then

As long as no one is going there just to act the fool on the roads around other cars,sorry if this sounds like i am being boaring

Palmnuts · 07-23-2009, 02:53 PM

If a old barge of an M6 is welcome then put me and missus down.

The only date I don't really want to do is the 19/20th as the 20th is a BMW Show at Santa Pod - worth remembering if you wanted to attend that. It's normally a good day as the runs are unlimited and it's not normally as busy as a normal Run What Ya Brung day.

Smartass.

RockIt · 07-23-2009, 03:35 PM

I will need to check gig bookings with the guys from the band, but I know that the early September date is already out. Hoping the others are OK.

peterg1965 · 07-23-2009, 03:37 PM

Viv/Tony,

Fantastic choice of location for UK8. A fabulous and underrated part of the UK.

Oh, and it is very close to me, 35miles from house # 1 and 25 miles from house # 2

Only problem is that I don't own a BMW at present but would still love to come along if I am free. The CLK55 should be sold and driven away this Saturday so I will have the choice of Mercedes 'Bus' or pretentious BMW Mini Cooper......

The other way round actually. Every show day you end up queing AGES nearly an hour Between runs, Ive run over 40 times though in one day on a RWYB.

dxb335d · 07-23-2009, 03:39 PM

Fack me, its 270 miles from me.

Wow, you may need your passport.

In comparison, UK7 was 235 miles from me.

Its a long way.

Edinburgh is closer to the proposed meeting area.

rogerxp · 07-23-2009, 04:00 PM

Weekends are always chock-a-block for me so it's doubtful I'll be there but will keep my eyes on the chosen weekend and what's happening at my end. My wife is commited to a year long course every Saturday which means I've got the little one.

If I send along this little Monkey and teddy would you guys look after them so I can have a break (she'll be OK as long as I program the Nav for her)...

Sorry, I don't understand the point you are making Carl. From your part of the world Windermere is about 280 miles, Edinburgh is about 450 miles

Edinburgh to Windermere is about 170 miles.

280 miles @ 70-80mph on the motorway = about a 4 hour journey.

Yes, but they are so narrow and winding that you can't get above 1st gear and have to chuck the car in the hedge at regular intervals to let someone pass you.
