Finally got my arse in gear and decided to do an info/attendance thread for people for the derbyshire dales meet.
DATE: Saturday 25th April
TIME: 11:30 (AM) - Aim to leave on the drive by 1PM, so get inside to eat from 12PM onwards
LOCATION: The butterley Park pub, ripley, derbyshire DE5 3QP (see below for maps) (Edited as I had a bit of a typo with the postcode fist time round - Thanks Dal for spotting that )
DIRECTIONS: if coming from North or South on the M1, exit at junction 28 and take the A38, heading towards Derby. Exit at the 4th junction (A610) approximately 6 miles from the M1 junction. Take the first exit (A610) towards ripley. At the first roundabout turn right and then right again into the pub carpark. You should see the pub from the main road easily. there is also a premier inn right next to it.
MAPS:
1. M1 to meeting place:
2. closer view of A38 to meeting place:
3. route from meeting place to sainsbury's (If required)
FOOD: pub first before the drive
DRIVE START TIME: If we eat first I'll aim to set off for the drive no later than 1PM to give us decent amount of time
I'll sort the details of the drive closer to the time, but I'll aim for us to be back to the start point sometime between 4-5PM so that those of us who are doing part 2 at alton towers the next day have a decent amount of time to get down to Uttoxeter etc.
POST MEET: There was going to be a stay at the ripley meet point, but as there is now the alton towers meet then it will probably not go ahead as a separate thing.
those who have confirmed/expressed interest up to now are:

If I have missed anyone off this list, then it's nothing against you, I've just missed you in the original thread
any more questions, just ask
EDIT:
Route plan for the day, finally sorted. google maps links here, but will also get written stuff done for the day. I went to do the route tonight and they have closed one of the roads I was going to use twice (one of the best roads in the area too ) so I've had to re-jig it a bit. I've used tinyURL for the links so they are nice and short

Dales special stage 4: DE45 1NL to DE4 3PS (ish) - http://tinyurl.com/dales-stage-4 (ish because it's the closest one I could get to the car park, but you can't miss it if you aim for this post code.....famous last words)
Dales special stage 5: DE4 3PS (ish) to DE5 3PQ - http://tinyurl.com/dales-stage-5
I've checked the start point too and the carpark should be big enough for us all to get in easily The only one I'm not sure about is the second stop at the 'unknown road' :lol: if there are a lot of people out that day you might need to use the grass verges
