Drive it day

Post by AlistairT »

Checked out my driving book regarding a run out to the Lake District but they seem to far away and would take most of the day. I’ve found out that the Lancashire car club are having a drive starting at Blackburn rugby club and going out to Hebden Bridge and returning via Belmont. ? I can only see a few cars attending as mine, Steve’s, Craig’s Jensen’s won’t be back on the road by then,It’s a local run so should be ideal for north west members to attend.. if you google drive it day event’s 2020 it will come up and give you the information needed. As there will probably be only 4-5 car’s available it might be a good to meet up with the Lancs car club this year and plan something bigger next year when there will be more of us ..
What do you think??

Looks like there is a fee for this event which I didn’t notice, might be okay for a back up plan ..

Looks like the most likely route is Plan A, destination Harworth for lunch, then back through Colne. We have done this before when meeting the English Wheel man Andy

Hi Alistair and all, I wouldn't think its advisable to go ahead with Drive IT day given whats going on. In the normal course of events sure public get a buzz from seeing the old cars out and about but not on this occasion, guess it would only result in negative thoughts. Best we follow the words of the PM and stay home. Cheers
