Alfa Owner Multi Region Meet in Penrith: 27-04-2008

We'll do our best to be passing 33 at 10:30

I am not sure about your intended route happy man, but there's a truck stop at junction 35, might be a good place to meet with efcsted (if that's any good for you efcstd?). There's plenty of room.

Hi Happy Man

Thanks for the reply, sounds great to me.. i would like to tag on at Forton.. I guess we will be on our lonesome there

I know, when i see the ''Alfisti'' approaching the services, we will do a 'Le Mans'' start and dash to our car !! saves you hanging around.. i will see you (all been well) at 10:30 ish

Keep up the good work

You will but not for long

There's another 10 Alfsta with me we're all meeting at Charnock

We're doing the stop at Forton just to pick you up

Sooo Kind !!

I have to pick up Alan (daughters boyfriend) at Preston..

So by doubling back to C/R it would have added a futher 29.9 Miles and 27 minutes to the journey..Autoroute has just worked that out .. gives me a bit more time polishing and waxing the beast!

I will just jump on at J33 @10.30ish and drive @50 until I see all the Alfas, save everyone having to stop again.
Good idea about the truck stop at J35 though, I had forgotten about that place.

I'll PM you my mobile number before the day so we can stay in touch and let you know where we are

Truck stop @ 35 might be a goer

Will be heading up from sunny Hyde so will be doing the M60 'Ring, then onto M61. Will have to catch up after the M6/M61 interchange near Garstang.
Any ideas of which services, and when you'll be (blocking up) stopping at after this?

We'll be at Forton services for 10:30 mate

whats happening when we get to the rheged happy man?..can't guarantee i'll be there all day..not sure if i am coming alone or not yet

We got a section of the carpark reserved and There's an Antiques / Craft fair there's an Imax cinema and plenty of shops and stufff to root round

I'll be on me own as Mrs H is working

Super job, it always reminds me of something out of Space:1999, never stopped there though. Bet it's not as good as Tebay (Sth), then where is?

We're meeting the Yorkshire Crew a troutbeck swimming baths then over the kirkstone pass to Penrith

I hope the swimming baths have a big car park !!!
