Anyone out and about around Preston/East Lancs/Trough of Bowland this weekend?

[AdamR]

Thinking of having a drive out around this sort of area, maybe this evening or tomorrow:

Anyone fancy it? Or is it gonna be rammed with caravans and purple Honza Jazzes driven by old ladies?

[AdamR]

Ok gents, I'm gonna head out whether anyone can make it or not, as I've been on Google Maps and the roads look so awesome!

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&s...brnyjEbUVEBogd3D2b2zzw&cbp=12,110.32,,0,15.82

That said, the route is a bit experimental so someone to help if (when!) I get lost might be good Got sat nav but no power for it in my car and don't know how long the battery will last...

Decided to trim the route a bit to miss out some of the A65 too:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&s...3.905956,-2.379913&spn=0.610006,1.234589&z=10

Looking to leave about 5:30 to give enough time to get back from the 'good' roads before it's dark. If you're in just shout!

 

[sladen1720]

you still out matey?

 

[AdamR]

Got back about half 8, sorry! You missed some nice roads - nice and quiet traffic-wise too! Just making a quick vid...

If you wanna nip out tomorrow just let me know?

 

[CJGREEN]

I would of come out if i had enough to fuel the car for a fun run haha

 

[AdamR]

Never a good thing! haha

If you guys fancy it I can try and organise something with a bit more notice next time? Sorry it was so rushed this time, got a 'free' weekend to myself so I like to come and go as I please :rasp:

Ah you would In fact you probably could have carried more speed in a lot of places, the suspension on my car is pretty firm so it was bouncing around a lot!

I usually take my bike to work as well actually, haha. If I'm in the car though I only go from near the Black Bull pub on Station Road out towards the motorway, so maybe you're up the other end of town?

I'm usually near Bamber Bridge and Penwortham as the gf lives in Walton-le-Dale and I've passed the Black Bull plenty of times. I'm usually out and about on Wednesday afternoon/evenings and Friday afternoon/evenings, mainly to and from Sainsbury's for munch lol. I'd be up for a little outing sometime
