Right, all ready to rock n'n roll. I'm sharing a room with Johnny Graham (thank you Mr and Mrs Rvzzs for swapping to a twin). Carrera 3 is not available as it bust its rear (new) caliper - that's my reward for not using it. So, it'll be my long suffering 924S.

I'm flying out to Belgium sunday afternoon from Manchester due to family issues, so I will be with you part of the way.

Hope everyone stays safe driving up, and hope there are no breakdowns - me included-.

In any case, I'll be taking the following route from Cannock (West Mids), leaving around 16:45hr ish and hoping to arrive around 19:00hr.

Get on M6 Toll from Wolverhampton Rd, Longford Rd and A34
6 min (2.1 mi)

Follow M6 Toll to A5148 in Shenstone. Take exit T5 from M6 Toll
8 min (8.2 mi)

Get on M1 in South Normanton from A38
43 min (40.6 mi)

Continue on M1. Take A1(M) to A684 in North Yorkshire. Take exit 51 from A1(M)
1 h 27 min (92.4 mi)

Continue on A684. Take Brompton Rd, B6270 and Arkengarthdale Rd to Raw Bank

anyone I need to swoop up, let me know (Iain? :wink: ), my number is 07811 06 17 42. Lets hope that the 924S is holding up: I went up & down to Belgium in it last weekend and it went like the clappers.

Agreed, thanks James. It made me think what an amazing car the early 911 is. That was the best fun i have ever had in my car. It was great to meet you all. When's the next one :)

Thank you James for a wonderful weekend. It was fantastic to come up Norf again 8) .

Really lovely to catch up with everyone, and the driving / scenery was amazing.

I have got well settled into the 996 thanks to my 1020 miles in the last three days, 450 or so on the Sunday by time I got home.

All best,
