Cat and Fiddle VII - Saturday 26th January 2008

[ric04vrs]

Hi,

Unless people object to a newbie type (been on the forum since 05-04-2007 ) joining in with this outing then I'm thinking of turning up as I'm only about 40 miles down the road.

Just to let you know that if the " a longer drive will take in some of the finest roads in the Peak District " was going to include the A57 snake pass then you might be in trouble -

A57 [snake Pass] closed affecting all driving lanes

- Sheffield Road closed both ways between the Shirebrook Drive junction and the A6013 junction in Glossop, because of a landslip.

BBC - Travel News - UK National Roads

just seen this on the north west news , just confirming that the snake pass will be closed for at least a week

[skudmissile]

May not be able to make this now.. car has decided its happier as a SDi.

:mad:

Same here! Must be the weather :(

[Tom_vRS]

Bummer...

Surely the whole of the pass isn't closed?? Take it this means the route will need drastically altering... :(

[Phil-E]

That would be shame... but im sure we'll find another route that will be just as good.

May just be a section of the road closed that we can divert around...

[Loz]

I'm excited now! I want my steak

My car will be dirty by the way. I wont have time to wash it tonight I don't think

[Phil-E]

That's in-excusable Loz!!! hehe

Will be giving mine a jet wash at work and that's it!

I too am excited! One more sleep to go! wooooop!!

[Loz]

I don't jet wash my car though. It takes me hours and my back aches and I get all cold and wet and stuff :( it will also be dark so I'd have to have to spotlight on outside and it only shines on one side of the car. It's just generally annoying tbh

[jaymd]

Loz is not the only one who won't be washing their car.

[vRSLen]

No point washing it before as it WILL get filthy

[Wardy]

Just cleaned mine this lunchtime

Steve

[FOZ1]

Cleaned mine on Tuesday, not looking so clean now

Have had to swap shifts round to allow me to work o/t tonight so I can finish at 02.00 & get some sleep;).

See you all tomorrow :thumbup::D:D

[yashicamat]

The Snake Pass isn't part of this meet's driving route so there's no need to panic.

[robb06210]

I'm not going to have time to clean mine either... plus it's dark and cold out there

See you all tomorrow

[furelise]

I'm now hoping that I will be able to make it to at least the C&F part of the meet.

Clean on Wednesday - but getting grubby already alas (and they put salt on the roads up here in Cheshiire last night - making it worse .......

BTW: don't forget the earlier warning in the thread abou the police aerial reconnaissance up here - they do pull !

I thought of something we can do too... all make a note of how much fuel they used driving to/from and during the meet and we could work out our combined fuel consumption! hehe

Just jet washed mine off in the bus wash! lol
