[Nov 16, 2014] Hartside Cafe Run (Hartside Cafe)

Right guys. I know we have not had one in what seems like forever but im thinking we could do with a drive before winter comes round the corner.

As some of you may know, Hartside is a brilliant run out over near the lake district. I think it might be the tallest cafe in England ? More info here - http://www.visitcumbria.com/pen/hartside-pass.htm

We have been having NE meets up there for years. The roads are brilliant as well as the views. There is plenty of places to park up and we normally grab a bite in the cafe at the top.

Like always, it doesnt matter if you have a 1.2 or a 2.0 or even a non renault. Everyone is welcome. We are a friendly bunch.

We will meet at Durham Services at 10.00 AM on Sunday 16th of November.
Durham Services -
A1(M) - J61
Durham
DH6 5NP


We will be aiming to leave there at 10.30 AM and i hope to see you all there.

There is an event on our facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/ClioNorthEast/). Please see here - https://www.facebook.com/events/592498004211794/

Ill leave you with this final shot of Hartside.

I just purchased a 182 two days ago and only live in Bowburn. Been on here for a while now but only got round to buying a 182. Love the thing. Might try and meet up for this. Been the Hartside road a few times and it is incredible.

I think I'll just have a quick catch up with you guys before you head over. After doing a crazy amount of hours at work this week after tomorrow, Sunday is the only day I have to myself before starting it all over again, so I'll have to skip.

If it's the only day to yourself there's nothing better than having some quiet time flying along some roads.

We have loads of members who come to these meets with 1.2 clios. I have a Mini.
Its all about just coming out with a group of car enthusiasts, have a nice drive and getting to know one and another.

Be driving to Durham services after that to get there for 10.

Let me know via pm if any of you guys are coming to teesside park so I can look out for you.

See you all tomorrow.

Did head up over Hartside about 12:30ish I think, was running later than I would have liked after trying to sort a misfire out. I may have seen a Clio or two at the garage in Alston as I went past, kind of did a double take as I wasn't expecting it, waited about 10mins at the top with no other Clios, so decided to enjoy the other side and went on down to Keswick.
Got to love those roads :wink:
