G40 Peaks Rally - Accomodation booked - need numbers finalising

(1/8) > >>

PeteG40:
Right, discussed this and whilst tatton park is a cool chilled out show, its only a one dayer so people don't really bother with it. however what has been discussed is a g40 rally in the peaks the day before.


So this is a feeler to see who'd be interested
Start off with a spot of lunch and meet at the ladybower inn http://www.ladybower-inn.co.uk/
the go on the a57 (snake pass main manchester to sheffield road) to tintwhistle, then from tintwhistle to penistone on the woodhead pass (a second sheffield to manchester road - both are quite hilly undulating roads but can be quite busy, but have decent scenery for major a roads. Then over the strines (very hilly, very hairpinny) back to the meet point (all these are quite popular with bikers)

then going towards castleton (of blue john stone fame - with its caverns) there is a small campsite in a place called hope. Here we can camp, walk into castleton and have some beers at some of the many pubs/eateries. The whole journey is about 60 miles

then the next day the show is about 30 miles away but we go through some more peak district roads from hope to buxton then on the famous cat and fiddle road and in an hour be at the show to chill all day.

anyone fancy it????

Tatton Park is on the 10th of August I believe Dan so will be the day before. Should be top if we can get a few to this!

Nick_S:
Yep, sure am up for this :D  Makes a nice change from the normal show routine.

Here is a route i had in mind



Takes in Snakes Pass and Winnats Pass (near Castleton). As Pete mentioned, there are plenty of country pubs and campsites in this area. Lower black dot is the Lady Bower Inn, top black dot is the Ye olde mustard pot in Midhopestones if people wanted to meet there? Blue arrow route is for the hardcore hill climbers, takes in Strines Moor :scyth:

PeteG40:
strines is a top route

Andy:
I'd be up for it, depending on how things are going with moving/new job.
