Steve, I am a definate.

Do i need to book the Friday off, ie me travelling up and staying over on the Friday night?...... will take me 3 hrs to get to Matlock (according to AA route finder)

Is it only the Saturday, playing in the quarry? or is staying Sat night and doing something on the Sunday a possibility?

Friday I'm going to sort a B&B out, The Site isn't as big as Aston but has some good ground!
IF you wanted to return on the Sunday you might end up fighting to get through Scramblers and Quads!! apparently it gets mad there!!

Ok, but what about making a weekend of it?

Stay in Matlock on the Fri night, Quarry Sat, and maybe look at some lanes / fords in your area on the Sun. IE, I get a travelodge or whatever on the Sat night.

If you and / or Sugarbabe is available on the Sun?

Andy, I'm sorry that it doesn't meet your expectations.
I guess that's a no then?
The good thing about this one is it's 2 Areas and I'd say .. Easy to Moderate going.
The Pics on Page 1 of the Thread are good for the Sites and accurate.

Is that it

Postby sugarbabe1976 on Thu Nov 16, 2006 9:45 pm

So that's that then 3 people that's hopeless, the quarry might be small but it's still fun depending on what you want to do the biggest thing is being sociable!!! second the quarry is free. both sites I think that is a big bonus. if your all going to be miserable that's fine, whoever turns up will have fun anyway. your call!!!!!

I up for the whole weekend as I don't work weekends lucky me.

Put my name down for a play in "Sugar Babes Quarry". It's always a good chuckle when a few Frontera's get together and getting down & dirty makes it all the more interesting :D
