South Brum - Monday Night 2 Feb 2009
Dave Ashurst - 29/1/09 at 07:47 AM

Are we meeting?

Where?


smart51 - 29/1/09 at 08:04 AM

The usual place? Unless you have a better suggestion of course. Perhaps when the clocks change we should organise some more runs out.


MikeR - 29/1/09 at 08:15 AM

anyone fancy reminding me where the usual place is ?

I think i'm free and i'd like to pop along, get laughed at for my slow build and maybe take away some inspiration


smart51 - 29/1/09 at 09:01 AM

Th usual place is the bar of the Coach and Horses at 7:30 or so.


that is:
Coach and Horses, Weatheroak Hill,
off A435, N of M42 jcn 3.

Link to Map

The narrow road at the side of the pub marked Icknield Street is exceptionally narrow. I'd recommend avoiding it in a car.

It's also very rough and would probably ground a Locost or similar

Have a good night guys


omega0684 - 29/1/09 at 11:28 AM

i might be able to make it, depends on how im feeling but im up and about now


prawnabie - 29/1/09 at 12:45 PM

I'll be there!


Dick Axtell - 29/1/09 at 12:57 PM

Seeing as you're all turning out, I may well try and join you.

I went that way in my locost when I first tried my satnav AND I met a car coming the other way. Not recommended.

I'm working in Dorset that day but should be back.

I've been asked to post why a certain person from Devon can't make it, if I can make it from Dorset.

Probably because its such a long walk from his house to his locost. About 200 miles. Perhaps you could pick him up en-route?

I hear he's got a bicycle.


JAG - 30/1/09 at 10:49 AM

Hey! I've got to get back for work on Tuesday morning - in Devon.

A one way trip is easy


Dave Ashurst - 1/2/09 at 10:08 PM

See you in the bar
Whoever gets there first please grab a us a spot near the fire.

Dave


Dave Ashurst - 2/2/09 at 01:45 PM

Don't take any risks.

Heavy snowfall is forecast here this evening from 4pm onwards.

See you next time if you can't make it tonight.


Dave Ashurst - 2/2/09 at 02:44 PM

I suggest we call it off and meet next week instead.


Shaun said the roads near Weatheroak Hill were not passable early this morning due to snow. I'm about 5 miles from the pub here at work, and it's been snowing off and on all day. It's just started again and is predicted to get worse.


Dave


smart51 - 2/2/09 at 04:07 PM

The road at the top of weather oak hill was passable at 7:30 when I went past. I'll be there again in half an hour. I'll let you know what it was like when I get home.


omega0684 - 2/2/09 at 04:13 PM

i'll be there given its possible driving conditions but the snow is coming down at pace at the moment


Dick Axtell - 2/2/09 at 06:05 PM

omega, that's either very brave, or more probably, very foolhardy.

Dave, thanks for posting the call-off. Gotta keep my tin-top undamaged, for later trip to London.

Maybe.


smart51 - 2/2/09 at 06:22 PM

I won't be going. Weatheroak hill was a bit snowy but not too bad at quater to five. Birmingham was icy and treacherously slippy.

Stay at home.


omega0684 - 2/2/09 at 06:25 PM

meet called off then, ok no worries.


Dave Ashurst - 2/2/09 at 06:31 PM

How about next Monday night, same place same time?

Dave


prawnabie - 2/2/09 at 06:33 PM

Sounds good!


omega0684 - 2/2/09 at 07:30 PM

shouldn't be a problem for me either


JAG - 4/2/09 at 08:37 AM

Monday night was bad here (Lynton) too.

Coach load of old 'uns got stuck across a corner on the main hill into Lynton and had to wallk to their hotel with their luggage following later in a train of 4x4's organised by the hotel

Both roads into/out of the village were impassable Tuesday morning so I stayed home from work. I did get out but the snow was coming down so hard I thought I wouldn't get back into the village so I turned back after 1/2 hour.

Must get that LandRover 4x4 ASAP
