    Would that be the A702 by any chance? If you like that road, next time you are in this neck of the woods try the A701 instead (scenic route), it's far far better and not blocked up by lorries and sunday drivers as it's a much twistier route.

    Shame I didn't know about this meet as I live 10 mins away. Would have been good to pop down with the kids as my boy would have loved it. We were doing bugger all on Sunday afternoon too!

    It's a nice trip up....once you get past Preston the roads are great. Felt sorry for Millsy travelling up from Brum - 5 hours each way :O . I clocked 400 miles (about £35 in DeRv lol)

    It was the A702. I often wondered about taking the signposted 'Scenic Route'...I think next time that'll be the way to go. When I know there's another meet, I'll post it up on here in plenty of time.

    Fantastic turnout....I think Jamie from VOS counted 36(ish) cars. That rusty coloured bridge certainly attracted the Volvo crowd lol
