Post xmas/new year cruise.............with a touch of 7000rpm thrown in.

Right, if you're like me and need to escape the turkey/booze/rellies/telly & unwelcome visitors that masquerades as xmas bang i'm going to do what me and wifey did last year, only this year i thought i'd see if anyone else is up for it as well

The plan is a 130ish mile run around some of the most scenic and best driving roads in N Lancs & N Yorks, with a pub lunch stop at the The Highway Man Inn

Basic route is start at Broughton (junc 32 M6) longridge, waddington, slaidburn, easington, clapham, high bentham, ingleton, dent, kirby lonsdale (lunch), arkholme, caton, trough of bowland, dunsop bridge, longrige, broughton.

We will be doing it either 1st or 2nd week in jan, or possibly between xmas and new year, so if any one else fancies it i'll get Al to make it a stickie and i'll do a google map of the whole route.

Be there or be square ...come on you know you want too

Ps wifes, girl/boyfriends, significant others and even kids welcome

It had crossed my mind already

You are the man with a plan though

That sounds like a good idea. Great route.

I think i'm gonna wait till my car is fixed and running 100% before i go on any long drives!
Would of been up for that, but don't think it wise to risk it with a dodgy car!
Have a good run though Pete.

Sounds great. Probably won't do the whole route as we'll be travelling from Lancaster, but would aim to join you somewhere around Bentham and dip out between Caton and Trough of Bowland (we live just off that road!).

[ivegotpost]

count me in, may bring the other half (if she isnt working)

[GTAndy]

This sounds like a plan to me!

Sounds good but not sure yet will have to make you know in due course

Sounds Great as the Stealth Tractor has just had a big bad cam belt service and I need to get some twistie time in behind the wheel

There's more twisties than you can shake a stick at, you'll be dizzier dizzy by the time you get home

[wayne-dear]

But I don't need 7000 rpm to make the planet go backwards

Nope I was right I don't need 7000 all my horses let loose at about 3500

27th - 30th is good for me

[rgwm]

Might see about joining this part way in - could possibly arrange a coffee-stop at the Moorcock Inn on Waddington Fell - my Stepson runs it......

Or others from the East Lancs / W Yorks area could just use it as a meet point - there's a big car park......

Can probably make most dates - though I'm likely doing a trip up to Scotland sometime between Xmas and New Year.....

There was no insult to Mrs roeburndale, as for the 'shoes' wifey loves shoes and handbags, if we encourage her to buy new pairs with matching accessories it sends him into financial despair.
