Forum meet / run Penrith to Haydon Bridge Sunday July 16th 2017
Hi all,
Rich (Ashanti) and I have been talking for a little while now about an informal meet / run event shortly after Crieff. This isn't designed to be similar to the event just held last Sunday, more an impromptu meet and run event, a convoy of like minded enthusiasts from Penrith to Haydon Bridge.
The date is Sunday July 16th
The plan is to meet at KFC, Bridge Lane, Penrith, CA11 8HW which is just off Jctn 40 of the M6 Link
We'll be looking to meet there at 10.00am and congregate, gathering the convoy together in preparation for the run
We'd be leaving KFC at 10.30 am for the run. The designated route will be along the A686 from Penrith with the ultimate destination being the Anchor Hotel at Haydon Bridge. The Anchor hotel seemingly does a nice Sunday roast from 12pm, £10.50 per person www.anchorhotelhaydonbridge.com
"The actual Hartside Pass is only small part of this route, but the whole of the A686 is an excellent road to drive, so why just stop at once you have done the pass, complete the whole road and have a huge smile on your face after getting to the A69 near Hexam."
There'll be no prizes or raffles as per Crieff, although if I can, I may rustle up some "welcome packs" to try and include itinerarys, dashboard info sheets, forum decals, pens / pencils etc and anything else I can rustle up.
The route takes a little over an hour, around 1 hour 5 mins which should see us at the Anchor Hotel for around 11.40am there or thereabouts, with lunch starting at around 12pm
I've had an initial conversation with Steve, the Owner / Manager of the hotel and he reckons on spaces for around 15-20 cars, but may be able to accommodate more.
So basically a run to the gathering point, then a convoy to the meet point along some good driving roads, lunch followed by some craic and a little banter, putting faces to names, some veteran meet attendees and some new ones possibly.
Anyone up for it, please add your name to the list below and pm with your name, car details and mobile contact number. As usual I'll send text updates with info etc in the run up to the event on the day.

Thanks to Super350, Simon has done a recce of the road and put together some photo opportunity locations.
One of which is Langley Castle, which looks great.....could be a meet event all on its own at some point perhaps?
That said, I've emailed the manager asking permission to take a brief 15 min stop and photo opportunity on the way to Haydon Bridge, this on the premise that we hold various meets and perhaps Langley Castle could be a candidate for one of the next ones, 50 cars / 100 people or so sound good?
Anyhow, will await response and hope for the best, other than that we'll be struggling to find somewhere decent / safe for a photo opportunity on the way.
Just off the phone to the Manager at Langley Castle having sent an email earlier, this off the back of Simon's recommendation from his recce a few days ago.
Having explained who we are and what we'd like, that we'd only take perhaps 15 - 20 mins for a photo opportunity with the cars / Castle in the background, he seems fine initially but still has to check further.
I did explain that we have meets year round and perhaps this would be a good location to hold one in future?
Castle tours, nice scenery, spot of lunch etc etc
Also that the details of the meet would be posted cross various forums / FB pages etc etc and so they'd benefit from that too.
Long story short Simon reckons its the best spot and I'm sure he's bang on. It's been well received initially so just waiting for as its a definite / maybe at the moment

The route takes a little over an hour, around 1 hour 5 mins which should see us at the Anchor Hotel for around 11.40am there or thereabouts, with lunch starting at around 12pm
I've had an initial conversation with Steve, the Owner / Manager of the hotel and he reckons on spaces for around 15-20 cars, but may be able to accommodate more.
So basically a run to the gathering point, then a convoy to the meet point along some good driving roads, lunch followed by some craic and a little banter, putting faces to names, some veteran meet attendees and some new ones possibly.
Anyone up for it, please add your name to the list below and pm with your name, car details and mobile contact number. As usual I'll send text updates with info etc in the run up to the event on the day.
