19 Jul: Let's Go Zedding!

Post by spokey »

If anyone fancies a cruise at short notice, there will be a small outing from the OK Diner in Eggington starting 10:00 sharp on Saturday, 19 July 2008.

Starting point is:
A38 Southbound
Eggington
Derbyshire
DE65 6GY

Be there early to get brekky in! :wink:

The cruise will end at around 17:00 at the same place. There is a Jet services at the OK diner, but a Shell can be found between J1 and J2 of the A50.

Sorry about the lack of notice on this one, but I need to know who is coming by noon on Wednesday so that I can arrange lunch.

Hope to see (at least some of) you there! :D

Confirmed:

Spokey + 1
TrickyZ1 + 1
garyw + 0

Interested:

sadly I'll be in London in a committee meeting - which should ensure you have the most terrific weather!

Hope you have a great time, I'll be thinking of you.....

I'd be interested to compare your definition of gentle to the one in the Oxford English Dictionary :lol:

Hope the weather stays fine for Saturday 8-)

What can I say, other than that was the most enjoyable drive I've ever had :D

Thanks to all present for a most memorable day, and Spokey - what a route ! :thumb:

Four cars started off at the OK Diner:

Image

Image

By pure chance, I found relatively traffic-free roads and a most enjoyable bimble was held in honour of this very well-popped cherry (seen at the lunch stop):

Image

Two red zeds, notice that it's not mine parked across two bays: :wink:

Image

Gary also seemed to struggle with parking, although he blamed it on Rich:

Image

At lunch, Gary was quick to point out that the PCGB gave members all sorts of perks, such as the free handbag he was carrying: :devil:

Image

Rich and Nadine looked a little bemused at the concept:

Image

After lunch, we ambled back to the cars and drove some more absolutely fantastic roads, till rain stopped play ... luckily right at the end of the cruise, anyway!

I have to say, I don't think I've seen such fantastic roads in years. The exact same cruise will be re-run in September, dates to be confirmed, but be there, or be square, baby! :thumb:
