Sunderland is easy to get to. Straight up the a19 and take the Sunderland turn off

You'll be fine.

yer, i got that bit. its just the bit after hen you enter the 1 way system and i dont really know where im going. well i know the road but getting there not so much

The pub is pretty easy to find. Only other suggestion for an eaty place would be the Shiremoor House Farm Pub, better food but not as nice a drive

i cant think of anywhere to go, dont know many places outside of hartlepool

Straight up hart bank and over the A19 is always a good start to an adventure.

Your mother would have a fit if I was her son, 7PM at night, Mam, I'm heading blackpool, see you tomorrow

I'll come along to whatever if I'm not working, although TBH funds are pretty much heading cinqwards until I have everything I want and i want to keep it that way so might not come.

I passed my test at 18.. Insured on mum's Tipo and was 150odd miles away in Grimsby for 3 days a week later. Then back up the M1 to Durham for the night then eventually ran out of funds for petrol and returned home haha

Metal Bridge was good last time, if interesting weather! Could always meet there, eat then do something after.

I promise to park a long way away (or reinsure the Brava if I still have it)

Yeah, sounds like a plan.

We still can't book tables at metal bridge, but we managed to get tables last time with little problems

Just send crazy dave in, that would clear the place

Right, when is best for people to meet?

Rob and i work during the week, so any weekend would be good for us. The pub opens at 12pm if we decide to go there

yeah any weekend would be good for me to

Just relised that there is one saturday in every month we'll not be able to make it due to Rob working on the morning, but if the meet is on the afternoon it should be fine.

frank works every sat til 12, sundays wud be better for us

Metal Bridge? Where is this, and any ideas on dates yet?
