[/ QUOTE ] I know a pretty nice short cut up to the Cat N Fiddle too, or a long way around with full circuit back, but we can decide that on the day. For any that dont know the area, simply get on the A6 (from Stockport / Manchester end - head for Buxton; from Buxton - head to Stockport / Manchester.) and get into Disley village - there is a cross roads and the Rams Head is HUGE and dominates one side of the cross roads. Car park out front. Its right next to the Train Station. See you all there!!!! Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 What's the easiest way to get there for us traveling up from the South? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biturbo Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Looks like M1 J29, A617 Chesterfield, A619, A623, onto A6. Although M6 could also be an option for those from the south-west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 That's the same route that I just did coming back from Manchester on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Should be OK on Sundays, during the week I got stuck behind lorries with queues of cars behind them and there wasn't many overtaking opportunities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 A good alternative would be to come up the M1, take the A50 towards Stoke (Duel carrigeway all the way )and turn off upwards before you get to it on the A522 / A520 / A53 that takes you straight into Buxton. See you all there and thanks for sorting all this out Lottie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnss8 Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Another alternative A50 come off for Ashbourne then from Asbourne follow signs for Buxton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Yeah, in the past I've done the A50, -> Ashbourne -> Buxton route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are front facing Truvelos and are active....... Going this way, you will get some holiday traffic, but plent of safe passing places and leads you straight in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] That was my plan I think as well!! [/ QUOTE ] Sily amounts of Scameras on that route and actually takes longer than going via Chesterfield due to them. Lots of sunday trafic, but again, some good passing places...... Many MANY villages with 30-40mph and cameras and getting through Leek is so painful it's untrue...... also, you are kind of going a little too much south on that route and have to cut back up to buxton to get across to the A6 to Disley..... Still, i used to use this when i got bored with going via Chesterfield to the M1 from here, so you wil be fin either way. Just make sure your Snooper / Road Angel is on and up to date!!!

[/ QUOTE ] Without wishing to complicate matters further, the route I'll be taking is up the simply magical A515. Slightly biased here, as I'm emotionally attached to Derbyshire having gone their every year October fortnight school half-term. Also did Bronze Silver Gold Duke of Edinburgh's award based around Fenny Bentley. The drive out of Ashbourne is stunning. Spotted four (BMW) Range Rover prototypes testing there in October 2000.

NiGhT Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Im still interested in this but ive got no chance of confirming it until the weekend.. any chance you could squeeze in a little one?? (sorry to ruin your BMW convoy chris and jim but any room for the baby S if i can make it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Anyone can come.. and as we don't have to confirm places or pre-pay anything you can decide on the day if you like. Same for anybody else reading this. If you fancy coming along everyone is welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
