Neal 111 Report post Posted May 12, 2017 Route and time details added: Dawn drive route from Macclesfield to the yonderman for breakfast meeting 5am 16th July at RRG Macclesfield, Hibel Rd, Macclesfield SK10 2AB ttps://goo.gl/maps/ugQkVEGkBoq Hi everyone I'm organising a dawn drive enjoying some of the best roads of Cheshire and Derbyshire before the rest of the world wakes up and then enjoying a club breakfast. The plan is for all taking part to be at the start ready to go as the sun comes up. So from the moment the first trace of pink in the sky shows we are go. At this time of morning there should be time for a stop for club photos if people want to. Number of cars will determine what sort of route and how many groups there are so that we can run a good pace without lights and junctions breaking up the flow The event will take place early June. Meeting point will be Macclesfield. Once the final route is confirmed I will post a link to Google maps with the full drive planned. Surgestion for breakfast location are useful please. Need to open around 9am and serve a proper breakfast. The date will be fixed by this evening. 6 Mya X Ferron, DaveaH, Lauren and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But that picture is tempting me so much Don't forget the chance for a photo shoot and some banter. Nearly got the route sorted. Just need some inspiration for a breakfast location and picture spot.

Robins 4 Report post Posted May 18, 2017 I'd be up for this provided I'm around on the day. A suggestion for breakfast would be the Yondermann café about 20mins away from Buxton. Opens at 8am and serves very very good fodder! https://www.yondermanncafe.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
