Club Annual Drive Out: Peak District Drive Out Mk2, Sunday 2nd June

[vip223]

I’ll meet you all at Yeaveley Arms for 10 if that’s still the plan

Hi All,
Full disclosure, the place I'd of liked to book (the Yorkshire Inn) doesn't take bookings. The second choice, the Ladybower Inn does take bookings but want a £10 a head deposit. As it happens I've reserved seats for 11 lunches there which expire tomorrow without deposit, so I figure we can chance Ladybower for 11 seats (and hope they do not get all booked up on Saturday) as long as we can get there soon after 12. Failing that the large looking Yorkshire Inn is on our way just a little further along, so it's a good second spot.

If we really unlucky it'll just have a be a McDonalds car park photoshoot
I haven't had their strawberry shake in ages

See you there

We should be getting their a bit before 10 to be safe as it's about a 3 hour 30 minute drive to the start location for us, are there any shells or stations that sell 99 semi close?

[ChrisHolmes]

If you search Shell Ashbourne there are several choices

I’ll be able to make this Will, sorry for the late response

[willberry70]

Great to have you

Sister I was planning on staying with on Saturday in Mansfield had bailed on me!
Desperately looking for cheap overnight accommodation or whether to risk the long 2.5 hour drive up in the morning from Wycombe!

Probably won't get cheaper

Hi Guys,
I have put down a deposit for the Ladybower Inn. They want food selections though, so please see the attached menus.
Even without selections they can serve us but with delays as they cook.

[Nanotrox]

I'll be having the fish of the day and the misses will be having the hand rolled parmesan gnocchi, do we need to phone up and do the pre order?

[willberry70]

Yes, confusingly the first one is the kids menu.
