NO!! I mean the petrol station (can't recall the brand) at the 'Markeaton' island (= roundabout), where the A38 from Birmingham is called 'Kingsway' and meets the A52 Ashbourne Road. My Google Maps doesn't seem to show the petrol station there, just the adjacent McDonalds's.

The message quoted here was for Kharnivore.

Hi guys. Unfortunately I can’t make the 4th which is a big shame. Was looking forward to it. What are the chances of getting the route list and I’ll do it alone next time I’m over the Peaks?

That’s it! If it turns out that you can’t crash at your Birmingham mate’s place, my offer of accommodation still stands - for you and others. I did originally kind of expect some people from down south to want to do this ride.

That’s really kind of you. There’s a spanner in the works now. I don’t know until 1st or 2nd whether I can join you. I’ll definitely let you know on here though so there is no guessing games.

Sorry, I've been off the radar for the last little while and unable to log in.
At the moment though, 4th is free in my diary.

Sounds like a good one, I'll definitely try to make this.

, after the dissappointment of cancelling this mornings North West meet due to weather, I dared to look at the forcast for Longnor next Sunday " light rain with moderate wind", right now I will take that! The week ahead seems to be littered with thunderstorms,Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday but improving, keep,us posted Martin. It's usually a thumbs up from us when the chance of rain is 20 % or less.........currently in the North West it's 90%

Still going to leave this until Saturday evening to decide, depending on the weather and how fit I feel.
Discovered that My MOT runs out on the 4th, so hoping to get a Saturday morning appointment!

Im still game, although like Gary, I'm going to make a decision on Saturday based on the weather.
Possibly going to book into a b&b on Saturday night in the Derby area as I'm attending a bbq on Saturday late afternoon near Northampton.

Sounds sensible guys, weather is pants at the moment,hopefully August will be drier for all of us
