James,

Looks like my mate Dave (he was with me on the last Northern Run) is coming out to play too :) Can you add another one to the reservation please?

Yes - it's seen a bit more use recently, despite the weather :roll:. Hopefully I'll get another chance to clean it before Thursday...

With Dave coming along and I know Mick'll still make it, I'll up the booking to 9 8).

Ian Donkin wrote:Probably directions are easiest....

Exit M1 at J39 'Wakefield'.

At roundabout, take first exit if coming from the North, or third exit if coming from the south.

Straight across first roundabout (500 yards).

At next roundabout (Mercedes garage on the left), take the fourth exit.

Straight across next two roundabouts (Asda is on your left) and straight ahead at next three sets of lights.

Continue straight ahead, passing both Land Rover and Volvo garages on your right.

About 400 yards after the Volvo garage, the Wakefield Aagrah Restaurant can be found on your left.

Total distance from the motorway: 3 miles.

If you have sat nav or an internet mapping tool you prefer to use, the postcode is WF1 5NX.
All - just to remind you of directions for the meet up tonight. Looking forward to seeing you all again although I'm not sure that we'll have much to talk about :roll:.

Sorry guys, I took my eye off this thread ! Couldn't make it anyway. Thursdays have prior commitments, I'd have brought my turbo too ! (TDi)
I'll make one of these if it come south again.

Glad you got home safely Helen - nice slant nose you guys have there.

Just a pity the northern Northern contingent could get there a little sooner :roll:.
