Z4-FORUM NATIONAL MEET,LAKES/DALES,JULY 2012
- Thread starter craig3.2
- Start date
Just gauging interest at the moment. Traditionally we cruise the Lakes on the saturday then hit the Dales/North Pennines Sunday. The Sunday run usually has the most empty roads and is usually the best liked.
So was thinking of maybe turning the Saturday drive on the busier Lakes roads into some sort of rally/treasure hunt thing where we can tour the lakes and have bit of competitive fun as well. (If Craig gets lost and asks for directions with his accent he's stuffed
)
Any thoughts?? The weekend is for you all to enjoy so I'll go with the majority view

I like such events and can be fun, but they could be a bit problematic for single occupancy Zeds. Map reading, clues, etc. while attempting to drive.
Did a lot of stuff with Jeeps on and off road and the club had to have PLI in case anything happened, primarily to third parties or their property. Very expensive.
Overall my preference is for driving and enjoying the Lakes scenery. Doesn't have to be fast just cruising around.

I think RichardG got it spot on at the Moffat meet. Gentle to mid paced drive on Saturday with some great scenery. Sunday building up to an all out hoon along the A702 (might have the road wrong, but think that's it) at the end of the drive 
I'm happy either way

Is an all out hoon within the national speed limit or does it exceed the national speed limit?
Thanks Adam, I was concerned about the pace all weekend, but I guess at the end of the day we all have work on the Monday morning and no one wants to end up in a ditch or worse, plus my audible speed limiter keeps me check most of the time.
Malcolm as well you know it all depends on the road, some roads can be that tight and twisty or even that bumpy that even 50mph can be too quick, that said the A702 Dalveen Pass is a corker that just opens out and begs to be driven and I think I may however fleetingly exceeded the given limit just once :roll:
Just to be 100% clear as a mod of the forum I should perhaps restate that all meets are conducted 100% within the both speed limits and safe conditions of the road and circumstances.
Anyone who wishes to 'hoon' can have their own 1 person run.
May sound heavy, but I just want to ensure it's clear that this is a 'meet'.

I am with the others on this too,John....nice idea of a treasure hunt,but may be pretty difficult for ppl without passengers,as mentioned by cj..and folk in those Lakes might not understand me anyway,lol

Anyway,your routes are always great anyway,mate...regardless of how busy/quiet the roads...looking forward to it,cant wait
sammyz said:Ok well looks like we'll be just cruising again! I noticed the BMW car club have pinched one of last years pics (around the Honnister Pass I think)to advertise this year's Zed fest! Hope the weather is as good this year
Yes,mate,it was used with my permission..was mine of James_H's blue Z4M Roadster going over the H/pass,at the time i had just changed position to back marker,so had time to take a few pics
Just a pity i now wont be going to zedfest,what with all the other hols/weekends,commitments,etc i have this year.

Always within the national speed limit of course. Just enjoyed blasting through the twisty bits at pace.
My definition of a 'hoon' is a spirited drive. But always within speed limits, and with regard to road conditions etc.
Keep safe. It's the best way

There must be two Malcs on this forum as I've witnessed the other one 'hoon' on several occasions with the rest of us on two different meets last year.....what happened to him?! :roll:
