Hey guys and girls, i saw a thread on the msc a few weeks ago where the admins mentioned that they wanted to see a little more involvement from us all and part of that was to get more meets organised.
So what i'm proposing is a Blackpool run for the summer, nothing is set in stone but i'm thinking of aiming for a weekend in June sometime. So i've come up with a basic plan for the meet, trying to kinda keep things organised but without restricting anybodys freedom to do what they want. So see what you think and if you fancy comming along then you're more than welcome.
Plan;
1. Meet & Greet
This is basically a place for everyone to meet up (because we won't all be comming from the same places or taking the same route etc...). It'll essentially be a peroid of time, maybe 45mins, to meet and greet, take a look at the cars etc.. untill everyone who is comming arrives.
Naturally it needs to be a place in the right spot with a large carpark that we can "borrow" a corner of :wasntme:
So i spent some time scanning the area and the perfect place seems to be,
B & Q
Whitehills Retail Park
Preston New Road
Blackpool
LANCASHIRE
FY4 5LU
It's exactly at the end of the M55, which more people would be comming in on anyway, plus it has a huge carpark and will be very easy to find. Free parking too (Y)
2. "Golden Mile" Cruise
Once everyone is together and ready to move on, we head on west passing Blackpool airport/airstrip and entering the long Blackpool coastal road A584 (also know as the "Golden Mile") at the southern most part. And that my dears is where we cruise on up through in convoy.
Now there are options here; we can stop off in blackpool itself and everyone can go off and do whatever they want for an hour or whatever.
3. Cleveleys
But anyway after that i'd like to continue north along the coast to Cleveley's, nice big clean town with pretty much everything you would want, just doesn't have all the tourist stuff like arcades etc.. Wicked food though and a brand new prominade. (Y)
5. Fleetwood and Depart
After time in Cleveley's i'd like to rap things up by pressing north to Fleetwood shopping village, again massive car park with free parking. Loads of shops to look around if you want to and most importanly if you've been sipping cola all day; restrooms :laugh:
Fleetwood also has a rather nice A road/dual-carrigeway which leads back to the M55 and home again for everyone. Which is why i think that Fleetwood would be a nice book-end to the meet.
Again it's not a totally "planned down the the last detail" kinda meet coz i want people to be able to go off and enjoy their day, i don't want poeple feeling like they have to stil with the group and do what everyone else does.
So if this sounds like something you fancy doing then put your name down, a date and time will be sorted out later on nearer to the time.
I'll be going with family and friends, accompanied by
my Super S K10
the white Foha K10
shaf and his March Turbo K10
and possibly his Super S K10 aswell.
