Default U K Meet Site??

Lets try to organise a UK meet? Here is a link to some pictures for a place called Black Rocks, near matlock, derbyshire, it is just off the A6 just before Matlock Bath. I think this would make an excellent spot to have a meet,(car park at the bottom) It can be windy /cold up ther at this time of year! Some of the guys on the tamiya site have details on this as well, So who,s up for it?? JOHN

Hi John.

Those pictures look more suited to rock climbers. Do you have any other pics as those rocks looked vertical and many many feet high. I doubt even a stick or pimpcane will climb them

Yeah, I agree with Tronk on this one, they all look a bit steep.

They are the only pictures I found ,they give you an idea on the scale of the area,there is some good spots around the base of the rocks, and a wood land behind it ,when you are on the top there is some good spots as well.

Well i've been there and yes it is steep in places but we wouldn't climb up a vertical rock face now would we , i think john has posted the pic's just to show the area , there are some good spots there and some very challenging areas .
Would be just as much fun crawling the rocks on the foot path as crawling on top of the rocks .
Will look forward to a meet there .
Also i'll post some pic's up of a place i've been to check out today to see if anybody wants to meet there for a crawl , not far from melton mowbray , pork pie town and stilton cheese ........ phewwwwwwwww
Check back later for pic's

^^ Yeah, depending on where it is, I might be able to make it to a meet near you, as it's not too far.

There is a place near me at Filey.

Go to www.google.com click on images. Type in the words, Filey Brigg.

You will then find plenty of pictures. See what you think

You have the wrong idea.

You say to your wife. We are having a holiday by the coast. She will be so happy and give you good sex. You leave her in town to go shopping, kids go in amusements, you go crawling. Everyone happy
