Looking forward to my first forum meet that I won't have to get up at 3:45am for  :notworthy:

Gray

....Whereabouts do you live, Gray?






....We'll rearrange the location of the meet so it's at least a 5-hour drive for you  :evilgrin:

Crewe, Cheshire  :sad1:

At least the car gets a good "clear out" on the run to JKM  :grin:

I don't mind if you move it 5hrs away, as long as the drive there is through some great roads  :driver:

I live in Stafford and can take a ride up to the techno park and take a look if you like guys.... not wanting to step on toes...

 One thing has changed since the original meet a few years ago though.... The Staffordshire police HQ is now just over the back of the park ... not sure if it can be seen from the actual site but as i can take a look tomorrow if you like   :happy2:

....That would be very helpful  :happy2:

I don't see the proximity of the Police HQ as a problem. All of us just need to drive responsibly and not get over excited just because there are lots of us.

Morning chaps, just been for a mooch around the techno park it has certainly grown in size.... but seemed very quiet with lots of space for parking, Not sure how busy it would be on a Saturday as there are quite a few small business units around.  One thing though the Police HQ is just over the back of the buildings in the shots below and they use it for access but I think if we behave ourselves we should be ok although more than certain to get a "visit" from them. but other than that seems just the job.

....Perhaps not if ungated. But looks a different spot from where we took the long line-up photo.

No gates as it is only an industrial estate although the sign say technology park, Most of the bigger buildings look like the new council offices plus the university admin.

I couldn't find the spot that you guys used ... I did have a good ride round but as I have said before I think it may of grown a bit since the first meet  :wink: maybe pick the best spot on the day. maybe have a look on google earth, kinda depends how up to date the maps are though.
