The idea is fairly simple:
The Meet
Costa Coffee, Cheshire Oaks (CH65 9HD) from 8.30am on Sunday 18 May. All very civilised and friendly. Chat to like-minded people over a coffee (other beverages are available) and pastry, have a look at some nice cars.
Theres a big car park right outside the door and the shops dont open until 11am (except Costa, which is open at 8.30). That gives us a couple of hours for chatting and tyre kicking.
The Drive
Taking this route from Costa and ending up at Tesco in Mold. From there, it's pretty easy to get to a motorway and get home (or whatever ).
Here's a slightly uninteresting video of some bits of the route : http://youtu.be/_iaIcvxbWgo
I'll knock together some directions sheets (and maybe even a sat nav route for those with Garmin BaseCamp) with stopping points marked on them in case we get split up.
If you have one, a walkie talkie is great for banter and keeping the group together! Set it to channel 4.
I'm really looking forward to this, and hope others are too. If there is enough interest, I'll look to do it maybe three times a year.
Cheers
Martin
