YORKSHIRE ITALIA does BLACKPOOL :cool:

4th till 5th June.

Fun weekend away for our Yorkshire Italian owners.

We are planning on meeting in Skipton at 10am (early for the long drive)

meet at the Morrisons in the town Centre. easy access from Bradford and York and onto the A59 to Blackpool. (PostCode BD23 1RT)

Drive across the A59 to Blackpool. Excellent stretch of road and good fun, but busy, so sensible driving.

Once in Blackpool park up near the Promenade and make a day of it. Blackpool Pleasure beach should be open.

There is an option for people to Camp if they want at a local site. This means we can make a day of it. have a nice BBQ for discussions and drinking. Prices are quite reasonable and if we get a group we can get it cheapish. (y)
 
Could i suggest changing the start point??

Motorway network is no fun. A59 is much more fun way across to Blackpool. However not the easiest road to get to from the suggested start point. Reckon if we met at Wetherby Services on the A1 (accessible from either side of the A1) then short blast up A1 to A59 and then across to Blackpool on the fun twisty road with views ;)
 
Nice idea, A59 was thought about.

the M62 was suggested as 3 of the 5 cars were from South or west Yorkshire, Not including me from Selby.

2 of which were Bradford... where this start point is suggested to be, and the other is Sheffield.

I agree that using Wetherby and the A59 would be more fun, but im trying to make it fair on all of our drivers. obviously going to have to rotate...

Could meet in Skipton?? Easy access to ALL drivers. and right along the A59? (y)
 
Ahh cool this would be awesome i live in fleetwood which is about 6 miles out from blackpool so i know blackpool well :) i could meet you guys in blackpool and chill with you lot.
 
Will pass the message onto the Western lot. (y)

I know this is an "out there" suggestion but...

how do people feel with Camping?? booking a campsite in or near blackpool for the night meaning we can spend more time there. plus if theres a group we can get it relatively cheap. Think of the Fiat BBQ!! :slayer:
