Default Is this a go or what?

So are we sorted then?

Might be an idea if we get some idea of numbers?

If no one else goes I think we are going to make the trip anyway.

Sunday 3rd October
Meet up at 10am at the services....on the roundabout A1/A66 Richmond near Darlington, Scotch Corner DL10 6NR, guessing the post code is the same?

Leave at 10.30 along A66 from Scotch Corner towards Penrith,
then either take B5320 to Pooley Bridge

or

continue on pass M6 and take A592 to Pooley. I've never been but according to Google maps there's a pub and a tea room! Leave when ever you want, or have had enough.

I'll come.

As I'm going from Glasgow to York en route, I may meet you at Pooley, or come to the services (not sure yet)

What's the ETA for the Pooley Tea Rooms... ?

Could you PM me your contact number in case I happen to be running a bit late so you don't leave without me ?!

I'm up for it.

Are we meeting in the services or the layby? Both have been mentioned in the build up.

This is on the way to the A66, I think that would be a better area to spot each other. So the layby it is sorry all. Next time someone else can suggest ;-)

That route looks good. If I can drag myself outta bed after a jar or 2 the night before then I'll be down...the new car could do with stretching its toes, I've only done 150 miles in it so far.
