I don't think I would trust it, it has recently stranded @ianbmw in France and after the AA transported it back to the UK just started working fine again!

If it does peter to a halt locally getting home/recovering it is not such a big deal. chaseracer and AnnoyingPentium 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidfowler2000 Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 What is the format for this version of Midlands Massiving? Do we meet for brekkie at the trucker's on the morning before heading to the railway? What time are we heading to said railway? Presumably the Bridgenorth end? Also seeing as there are now 2 Scottish parties attending, would anyone like to meet for dinner / drinks on the 31st? chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very much looking forward to borrowing the Monza on New Years day and maybe it will be an incentive to get my Royal running.

davidfowler2000 Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 Scotland will be having dinner at the Beefeater in Cannock next to the hotel. Table is booked at 7pm for 6 peeps so there's a few extra spaces for local shiters. Let me know here if you're attending in case I need to bump the booking up a bit.

There is a Cafe that was pretty reasonable last time we visited at Bridnorth where we had breakfast, watched the choo choos, some did catch a train down to Bewdley and back.

chaseracer Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 OW!! 1. Truckers: yes, can do (tradition, old charter, etc.) - 9.00ish? 2. Leave Truckers 10.00ish, aiming for SVR Bridgnorth around 10.30ish? Times are flexible, and some may go straight to Bridgnorth. 3. Yes... 😉 davidfowler2000 and hairnet 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hollies FB page confirms that they're closed tomorrow too! So, there's a MaccyD's across from where the Scottish delegation is staying (Longford, Cannock - where the A4601 crosses the A5) or we can all meet at SVR Bridgnorth station where bacon can be obtained.

davidfowler2000 Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 Good to see all folks this weekend... @chaseracer, @Inspector Morose, @hairnet, @Floatylight, @Lankytim Apologies for not sticking around at breakfast but trains were to be had. Myself and @juular along with the WOMEN_df2k&juular did the train the full length of the line, the wee museum at Kidderminster, back to Highley for the bigger museum there before back to Bridgnorth and home. Got back to Glasgow about 2200. A good weekend had by all. Lankytim and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
