Default organise a meet to the yorkshire dales for a decent drive

ive got my p100 with all the cossy mods etc its about 220bhp, but not to sound smug but im pretty handy with it and have worked on the handling a fair amount so i figure i could probably play it with the escos and 3drs

does anybody fancy organising a ford drive out to the yorkshire dales, all down the buttertub pass and those awsome roads, as i think that would be quite a laff. meet some new people and drive some good roads with other fords.

any body fancy that

IMO the road is pretty Pony compared to what else is around there,
Settle to Ribblehead then onto Hawes
Alston - Brough - Kirkby Stephen - Middleton loop
Hayden Bridge to Alston
Hawes to Masham.

Tackle them roads then tell me how it compares
