Event NORTHERN POWERHOUSE Classic - 7ish PM TONIGHT Tuesday 4th July @ Glossop

[Guest Hooli]

Municipal Buildings car park

Victoria Street

Glossop

SK13 8HZ (approximately)

 

It's the market car park across the road from Wetherspoons / M&S food near the middle of Glossop.

 

The car park is free after 6 and there is normally enough space for us to all park together.

 

Approx 7pm on a Tuesday, itinerary as follows:

 

7-8 ish chat shit in car park

8ish onwards retire to Wetherspoons, eat slab of meat (Tuesday is steak night), chat further shit

(Optional) approx 11pm, wait for AA as you've broken your Citroen

 

Right I've just streetviewed this, I know where ya mean now. I should be there tomorrow, I'll aim for 7ish as that works out for finishing work at the normal time.

I have to miss tonight's thrilling episode. The locals are still finding money in their sofas (despite said sofas being in their front gardens) to spend on post-nov-5th bargin explosives, and that makes for one very traumatised dog at Chez Chod. Chodspeed all.

I'm only just on the train back from Leeds so I won't be there this evening unfortunately

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

I'll be there, but a little late. Traffic seems to be particularly bad tonight. 

[Guest Hooli]

I've just pulled up in the car park. Tried to park my manky silver Saab in the quieter end so we end up together. Traffic wasn't to bad over Woodham just some old git who was scared on oncoming cars on the small road down into Glossop.

[Guest Hooli]

That wasn't too unpleasant, I could be tempted to turn up again.

Im not so sure!

[Junkman]

I made it back with both headlights staying on all the way!

[bub2006]

Yes! Well done mr junk! Ive never known side lamps brighter than dipped beam though!

[Junkman]

They aren't brighter. They just dazzle more because unyellow.

[bub2006]

Yellow lights look good.

[chaseracer]

They're great, as long as you don't actually want to illuminate the road ahead...

[Junkman]

The really odd thing is that when I drove through total darkness as fast as those headlights safely allowed and glanced at the speedo,

I was doing 110 clicks, so after all, they can't be that bad.

[Inspector Morose]

So the spedo's over-reading as well then?

[chaseracer]

BOSH!! 

[Junkman]

So the spedo's over-reading as well then?

 

Yes it does. 111 is a real 100.

[Ghosty]

well if an Invacar can do 80...

[bub2006]

My reliant did an indicated 110. Never so scared have i been before

[3VOM]

Got a lot of things going on so haven't checked in for 24 hours. You can all laugh now because I ran out of fuel on the way home.

[bub2006]

Getting stuck in all the traffic in Stockport that evening didn't help. See Conelrad's post earlier. I believe there was an accident blocking a major road but the alternative route I tried was closed due to road works. Took me 30 mins to effectively get about 2.5 miles.

The Volvo does between 18 stop start around town, to over twice that (38-39) cruising on motorways.

[bub2006]

Seriously bud,im sorry its a shit situation.

[3VOM]

Bump to ask about this for next Tues 5th December. I know there are a few meet ups planned around this time but I would hope most people will be available.

[Ghosty]

5th is fine for me.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Good for me! 

[Guest Hooli]

I think I could be persuaded.

[Junkman]

My steak!
