Post by: Frankie-Boy on August 17, 2003, 20:26:28: Hi Colin,

Some of us have been out and about on the lanes all weekend, we did a late one on Saturday night and got finished about 1am, then out again at 10am to have more fun.

If you fancy coming up to Northants one Sunday, let us know, we can give you a guided tour of the county.

Title: Where is Everybody?
Post by: Frankie-Boy on August 21, 2003, 03:13:25: Hi Colin,

That's great you can join us on Sunday, we usually start between 9 and 10am, so we'll meet you at say 10am, somewhere easy for you to find, how about Northampton Services on the M1, junction 15A on the northbound side?

We can go from there and do a reasonable route round the county, if you have any worries or concerns, let me know.

If that's ok, then we'll see you Sunday morning.

Anyone else want to join us, let me know, MR SHEEN????
Title: Where is Everybody?
Post by: Andy. on August 21, 2003, 19:30:36: Frank, as its the last Bank holiday weekend of the year we are going away from Saturday to Monday to the DOC camping weekend in Stoke-on -Trent. So will have to miss this one I'm affraid.

I know DOC, well we will see if I'm still a member come on Tuesday as I'm a bit dispondant with the club at the minute for obvious reasons but its a weekend away with the family so we'll give it a go.

Definatley come on one though at a later date as you seem to go out most Sundays :D

Have a good one :lol:

Title: Where is Everybody?
Post by: ChrisW on August 25, 2003, 18:10:17: Bit quiet today as well!

We've just got back from the Town & Country Festival at Stoneleigh, nice day out, saw what appeared to be a Disco camping area - recognised a few of them there anyway.

The Landie content of the show seems to be falling off somewhat, we only spotted the ARC stand, the Range Rover Register and the Forward Control Register.
Plenty of ex-Military units tho :D

Anyone else done anything interesting today :?:

Post by: ChrisW on August 25, 2003, 23:43:35: Anyway Pete how was the Cotswolds?
I got the timing just wrong - was on the way home from Dorset with the trailer-tent which isn't really up to laning :evil:

Chris W
Title: Where is Everybody?
Post by: Donald the Disco on August 25, 2003, 23:57:30: Chris,
The Cotswolds were good, arranged to cover 13 lanes. Had a total of 9 disco's show up. split into 2 groups a gang of 4 (Brum Lee :roll: ) and a group of 5.
Group 1 covered all 13 lanes and no damage (Well some scratches)
Did a lane that hadn't seen traffic for well over 2 / 3 years.

Second group I am lead to understand missed out a few lanes
7 / 12 / 13 just to mention a few.

However Mr G. did have a play on lane 11. "It went down there, it'll come back up" I think someone has video of this act. :shock:

Anyway Chris I will run another trip soon, let me know if you want in !!
Title: Where is Everybody?
Post by: ChrisW on August 26, 2003, 00:00:17: OOH yes please! Will try and arrange not to be busy next time :oops:

Can't wait for the graphic detail on this "It went down there" saying - looks like someone might be in for some ribbing on Saturday :lol:

Title: Where is Everybody?
Post by: BrumLee on August 27, 2003, 01:50:12: It's in Coleshill, Warks. If you know the Police Station Island in Coleshill, you come off the island and head up the hill towards town centre and the Bell is on the left hand side on the brow of the hill. Chris will be able to give you the street name later 8)

Hope to see you there :D

Post by: BrumLee on August 27, 2003, 14:37:21: If you make it on Thursday make sure you bring some earplugs, there's some foul mouthed landrover owners that go there that say that word you think should be banned, MUD. Whoops I'll was my mouth out :lol:

Title: Where is Everybody?
Post by: BrumLee on August 27, 2003, 20:22:21: Hi Chris

The Bell is on the Birmingham Rd, between Stonebridge Rd and the High Street. The map below shows the Police Station island as a reference point.

If you email me the picture I'll see what I can do with moosy :wink:
Title: Where is Everybody?
Post by: ChrisW on August 27, 2003, 23:07:19: Birmingham Road - here on streetmap (http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=419877&y=289153&z=2&sv=419750,289250&st=4&ar=Y&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf)

Off the 42 at the NEC, bear right onto A45 for Coventry, stay in left hand lane to come down to Stonebridge Island (Malt Shovel on RHS) turn left at island onto A452 follow signs to M6, over M6 roundabout, over next roundabout (A446) down dual carriageway parallel to M42. Turn right at next roundabout (police station) up hill, The Bell is on left approx 100yds after zebra crossing.

I think :P
