last year we did a nice jaunt in the peaks along windy roads, followed by camping and some good food/real ale. We then went via the cat and fiddle to set up a club stand at tatton park - VW northwest. http://www.vwnw.co.uk/ It made sense to combine some proper driving with some beers and a vw show. I know I enjoyed it all!
We are thinking about doing another one this year, perhaps looking at different good driving routes - perhaps north wales?
Anyone interested?

Yep I'll be there no matter what. Wouldn't mind the same route even really, any excuse for a go on the C&F. Plus those pies at that pub were brilliant.

-
Well up for it, hopefully my diff won't unwind this time ;)
-
I'm well up for this!
-
I'm definately up for this ! Same trip even looks fine for me !
-
Which pies and what pub, Paul ? :P
-
put in bakewell i think... camping was £10 a pitch too
-
I'm up for this too - was gutted to miss it last time.
-
Would love to come to this, fingers crossed!
-

all the pies you can imagine and I think the pub was called the royal oak or something. Can't be that far off you. Has a campsite there too. Decent ale as well.
-
Think I'll be up for that!!
-
ill be up for this again depending on the dates.
-
Would love to come to this, fingers crossed!
me too this year! Gutted I missed it last time

Me too. Hopefully i can fit it into my busy schedule! haha.
C&F should be interesting in my car now! lol.
-
ill be up for that if my cars ready
-
gutted my G wont be ready for this from the looks of things. might look into buying a nice standard one for the trip though!!
-
how about Darley Bridge near Matlock? there's a campsite there owned by the pub which is accross the road. its £12 per tent for 2 people, for every extra person in the tent its £2. just an idea.
-
That would be the Square and Compass, roughly 10minutes from my house ;D
-
yup id be up for this this time, sod work lol
-
I'm up for this, especially if your thinking of N Wales.
I've got some cracking roads on my back doorstep (I live by "the triangle" that EVO use a lot!)
-
TBH I think we'll stick to the route we did last year just for familiarity and as the event is only in its second year. Plus it centres around near enough the middle of the country and I wouldnt mind another pint of that award winning ale! There will be plenty of time on the day for discussion about next years event! The EVO triangle is something I would love to drive at some point and it would be ace to do it with a load of G's so surely worth a chat about over a pint.
There is a route of last years day here http://www.polog40.co.uk/rally_vwnw_2008.php (http://www.polog40.co.uk/rally_vwnw_2008.php) which will be the basic plan with some slight variations I'm sure. Hopefully we will have some better weather this year, although going on tonights weather I'm doubtful! >:(
Anyway, we'll start another thread in a couple of weeks so people can let us know numbers and I can book the campsite etc. Not far off now really, will be upon us before we know it I'm sure!
-
No worries, I'll probably still be up for it.
I think it's on the week I'm holidaying in the Peaks anyway, I'll just have to convince the missus that we're taking the G40 instead of her Passat!
-
Shame my G won`t be ready and the 1ltr wouldn`t keep up. lol.
Fred.
-
it would, it aint a huge ragging session!!!
either that or get in a passenger seat!
-
Indeed, our average speed must have been very low last year, especially with the weather. I still had a top day though. More the merrier imo, I think we had 8/10 cars last year. Would be good to think that we could get up to at least 15 this year.
-
Any idea of dates? Gives me a deadline to work to.
-
august 8th and 9th as its before tatton park vwnw
http://www.vwnw.co.uk/
-
cool. gotta get a remap in before then.
-
can't wait for those pies and real ale! ;D
-
ill try and get my car ready before then, then. id like to come along.
-
I'd be on my own for the drive up this time as the wife and kids won't be on it this year, anyone else from the south west heading up??
-
Is the stand sorted for Tatton ? Do any of the campsites need booking for the rally ?
-
we get a reminder for club stands and sam emailed me last night about the campsite! he's sorting then will put a post up!

Did the EVO triangle a couple of weeks back with a load of audi and Golf boys, it was a great road but when we all went round once the Police came out with their undercover cars and helicopter so we had to mince off home! We later found out that the locals ring the police when they see a gathering of cars doing the triangle!
-
Looking forward to this, soon come round again ;D
This road's in the Derbyshire/SouthYorks area and worth checking out.

Used to use it in the old works van when short on time for jobs in Chesterfield ;). Just watch out for the hidden dip cross road at the A621 as you approach from east or west.

Hoping to be able to make it along this year, will depend on other commitments though. And I have quite a lot of those! :-\
