Following our successful first M135i meet in September from Truro we've arranged another one for 2nd November and 'expanded' it to M235i's to see if we can get a few more cars along. Bit scared to suggest 'open house' as I have no idea how many would turn up.
We're meeting in Watergate Bay (Newquay) public car park at 2pm before setting off for a run that will end up at the new services at Victoria for refreshment and chat.
So ...... if you're in the area and want to join in please pop a post on here. Also, do you have any favourite runs that you could suggest for this and future Mlite gatherings in Cornwall? We're looking for a meeting place and a nice run to a suitable hostelry for a lime and soda.
Have attached a poll to collate votes on suggested dates but have realised that you can't see the poll on tapatalk :| so please open the thread in 'webview' to participate - many thanks
Not the most picturesque, but if the car park is quiet we could probably get some decent pics there too.
:woohoo:
Would be nice to get some arty pics too, I think Falmouthboy suggested some pics with a Cornish engine house as a backdrop a while back - I liked this idea.
We could incorporate a bit of the Newquay-Padstow road for some added glamour. Perhaps start Watergate bay, via St Eval (shut on Sunday so should be quiet).
The only photogenic engine houses I know of are St Agnes way though.
Now that would be a disaster!
Needs to be bigger than 7.5m (unless there's loads of swell) and full high tide to trouble any cars. It's that size about twice a year so we'd be fine; but I'd check ahead anyway! I have seen a van get smashed against a wall by the sea in those crazy storms!
Like the idea of the Newquay-Padstow road, also some good routes around St.Agnes/Perranporth.
Wherever we go it will have a lot to live up to as the Roseland blast was awesome
Great idea James! Pity that St Eval seems to be shut on Sundays tho
Another option would be Kartworld near castle motors/liskeard. Not karted there before but heard its good. But of a trek mind but the A38 from Bodmin to there is a reasonable driving road when quiet.
Could always suggest a Saturday if there's enough interest for St Eval?
Ok, ignore my last - let's discuss what we want to do about a karting get together at our next run? Might be easier ......
Also, as I'm being decisive on everyone's behalf (note to self - don't bother with a poll .... just be bossy) lets go with Sunday 2nd Nov so we have maximum daylight.
So .... we finish at Cargeek's suggestion (new services at Victoria) for the post run social bit (food optional in case you've had the proverbial Sunday roast beforehand).
Do we start with a photo opportunity on the beach at Rock and incorporate the Pastow-Newquay bit or is that too much and we just start at Watergate? (I'm obviously not being as decisive as I thought :? :bounce:
