Z4-FORUM NATIONAL MEET,LAKES/DALES,JULY 2012

Just out of interest are there many people driving solo on this event or are the majority with loyal partners, gf's, mates?

If things go to plan, I plan on heading up the M6 from Shropshire on Friday midday and sleeping in my boot on Friday night somewhere in a layby :?
 
Are there any places left on the campsite. I haven't been since the first year we went and would love to go again!! :thumbsup:

There'll be quite a few of us driving solo, so nothing to worry about. :)

I believe Craig said that there's no places left at "Waters Edge" but still camping available at "Little Acres".
 
Definitely coming up Friday afternoon, I hope to stay in one of the campsites Friday night, and head back Saturday evening, Could someone give me an address as to where people who are coming up Friday are meeting, I am guessing it might be the campsites.


Will I be able to pay for the campsite on the day, and what is the campsite address.

Looking forward to meeting everyone. :D

Thinking about doing the same here mate but grabbing a b&b or hotel for the Friday night. Might tag along with you on the way back as I have to be back in Shrops by about 10pm :)
 
I'll be picking my friend up near Halifax before coming up to Crooklands. Really looking forward to the journey there.

I will be coming down the A68 from Edinburgh. Cracking road.

Question - I have planned a route up to the meet taking in the A629 and A65. Good roads or bad roads?

Any recommended routes that would be better? :)

You'll be coming within spitting distance of Guiseley (relatively) - just turn right at Keighley! - we're probably going up Sat am. (Presuming my ribs recover in time - bloody Audi drivers)

Roads are great, providing there's no traffic (which there generally is) - another option might be the A6033 from Hebden Bridge if your mate is on that side of 'Fax.

Midway up the A65 there's a town called Ingleton - if you fancy a hoon turn right to Hawes via Ribblehead viaduct and then up Buttertubs Pass to Thwaite, and then back again to Ingleton (or use the A684 for the run to Crooklands when you get back to Hawes). Adds an hour'ish to the route, but if it's not on Sammy's route, then it's a must do whilst your in the area.
 
Hi. Me and Mrs will be at our B&B The Glen, Oxen Holme, Kendal.
by the afternoon on Friday. Intention is to call over to the Crooklands
for an evening bite to eat and meet others who will be there. Joining in the cruise then for the Saturday and maybe the Barby if the camp site is not too far from our B&B!!
Sunday then join in the Dales cruise and head off back South about Mid Day ish.
Looking forward to it and i have had a word with himself up there to
sort out some nice sunshine for us.
How many women are going?? Doesnt seem to be many looking at the list, you cant all borrow mine :!: :!: :roll:

Doing similar, except staying in the Crooklands... As for women, I think it is pretty much BYOW if you want one. I will be bringing one I married earlier :D

Oh, and thanks Jimbo, plan :thumbsup:
 
BING, As Jimbo said,its a case of a trip to ASDA.

ALL INFO ON PAGE1,ETC....BUT BASICALLY,WE ALL WILL BE CHIPPING IN £6 THIS YEAR(as £5 fell a wee bit short last time,lol),FOR THE BBQ...
AND HALF A DOZEN OR SO OF US(VOLUNTEER) TO GO GET THE BBQ FOOD.

This avoids any hassle with who's eating whos food,etc :rofl:
If anyone wants veggie burgers,etc they can let us know,otherwise its typical bbq food.

UPDATES ON RAFFLE PRIZES,ETC. ON PG.13 OF THIE THREAD :thumbsup:

AS PER TITLE,Info for this years National meet,in the Lakes/Dales.

MEETPOINT is Crooklands Hotel Carpark,Kendal,LA7 7NW

The weekend consists of a Drive on the SATURDAY,around the Lakes,and leaves from the meet-point(Crooklands Hotel Carpark),at around 10a.m,with a short mid morning stop/toilet break,and lunch stop,finishing up back at the starting point,around 4-5pm....

On The SUNDAY we have a Drive that takes in routes in the Dales area,with designated breaks,as before.
These Drives take in some Excellent driving roads,with a mix of a and b roads/country routes,thanks to Sammyz and his superb route-planning :D :driving:
As said below,we usually have a BBQ on the Saturday nt,which we all chip in aprox £6 each for (buy ur own drinks),and Camping is a modest £8-12 PP/PER NT**,and some ppl stay in nearby Hotels or B & Bs.For those there on the Friday nt,we can go grab dinner at the Crooklands,as last yr,if everyone wants to,again.

**Costs for CAMPING are as follows: 1man/2man tent,Single person Occupancy are £12 per Night.....2/3/4man tent with 2 persons Occupancy is £14.50 per nt(making a very modest cost of £7.25 per person)..so it pays to share,for anyone coming with someone...which help make sure we are all on 1 site/rather than 2ppl travelling together and both bringing huge4/5/6man tents,lol :rofl:
N.B;the above prices are a discounted rate,albeit by 1or2 £s...tried to get more ,but didnt want to push it,given i had sweet-talked them into giving us at least 12 spaces,rather than 5or6 :)

Each year we have a good weekend of driving,a good laugh,and a chance to catchup with fellow z4-forum guys/gals...so what u waiting for..get ur name down,lol

MORE INFO IN THE WEEKS/MONTHS AHEAD,RE ROUTES,RAFFLE,ETC,ETC :thumbsup:

UPDATE ON PAGE 5 of this thread


THESE DATES ARE the
7TH & 8TH JULY,2012 (SAT/SUN)for the drives/with some ppl coming down on the Friday aftn/night(as myself/cj/etc,etc); whatever suits you



For those who don't know/havn't been before,the meet involves around 20-25 z4's (and their owners) getting together for a good weekend/day (whatever u can make;some ppl come for a day;some for the whole weekend,Friday nt inc.),having some great banter/a bbq(weather permiting) and,most of all,some Absolutely Excellent driving routes :driving: (kindly sorted out by Sammyz :thumbsup: ).
