..you remember the closed pub on the last meet! Thought i'd give the huntsman a ring to be sure, hence the 12pm opening discovered....


Assuming we head off around 11ish, I can't see us eating (those that want too) any later then 3:30 - 4ish. Therefore theres about 4.5 hours to fill which as a good rule of thumb should be based on 50/50 driving/stops. Probably means keeping the mileage below about 80m? (For reference the NW Dales meet was 70miles). Still best to not have too rigourous a shedule, lets go with the flow on the day. I think the weather will dictate events to a great extent. I can't see long stops on hill tops if we are all sheltering in our own cars!

 

Well not sure if any other locals know some routes but i'll have a look at some potential places to visit, not that sure around Holmfirth but loads of good roads heading back towards Sheffield but like you say, can go with the flow on the day.. and yeah, lets hope for some..

 

hi all, sorry not been able to get on here for a while.
i did a run out from the huntsman on sunday but it only took me 35mins to get back so would have to extend it a lot to cover 3 to 4 hours, but what about this hunstman to holme moss A6024 then B6105 to glossop A624 to chaple en le frith over the top towards castleton may be edale vally then A6187 B6001 to A625 back towards sheffield then may be round the lanes at red mires res back to the A57 then over the quit bumpy strines when i say quit i mean realy bumpy in my opinion then back to the huntsman if you like,hope jim can help out on this route as i don't know a lot of these roads too well.

 

Hi folks!

Have spent the last few hours making up for the last few months lurking and have been redirected to this thread a few times (thanks Jim and Gav!).

I live in Sheffield and would love to come along. Have however just started a new job and there's a slim chance I may need to get to work on Sunday. Hope not as would love to go for a run out and meet you all. Will keep tabs on the thread and let you know. Put me down as a maybe? Cheers!

Matt

Up near redmires is bumpy but some good roads!

Get yourself out! Just seen your pics thread.. awesome! Look forward to catching you on sunday for a beer and chat!

 

I might turn up, now I think about it. It's not too far to travel, so we'll see.

 

This is looking like it's going to be a good day out! Looking forward to meeting everyone!
