This meet up was organised by Adam and Lee so to start with I will thank them for putting the effort in to sorting something and getting it all arranged... Thanks Guys!!!

To start this off... Me and Kev convoyed with Bex and Sarah in my car setting off at 9am up the M6... the weather was quite nice as we set off but as we went more towards stoke the weather started turning and the rain started to fall... this caused LOADSSSSSSSSS of traffic and meant that a just over 2 hour journey took much, much longer than it should have with crawling most of it at 40mph.

Once arriving in Blackpool we met at a Travelodge near the sea front and then headed off to the nearest pub... which so happened to be a good old 2 for one

Saturday





After this we decided to try and brave it and head off to get some photos... the 1st location proved to be a bad choice as 1. we couldn't get all the cars in with the camera distance (there was a huge brick wall in the way from going far enough backwards) and 2. it was LASHING, i mean LASHING it down... see what opening my car door did just to get in...





This was a much better spot, on the pedestrian area at the sea front.





After a big of calling around we managed to find a B&B which was cheap, and by the sea front, clubs and over the road from Adam and Lee's which was very handly. The rooms wern't up to much but it was warm and somewhere to sleep, which was nice!!!



After everyone checking into their own Hotels... Chris with his Hilton room... the Taxi picked us all up and took us into town... which was only 200yrds down the road lol. With the clocks going back that night... there was an extra hour to party... starting with some good drinks from Yates.



Moving on to Flares... can you tell?



Now starting to feel the effects in Walkabout





Then onto some club which had Dance, R&B rooms with a ber area also... had a great time in there!!!





Sunday

As you can see... a great start to the day!!!



After waiting 10 mins for the shower to pass and walking down to the sea front, things brightened up and Bex decided to start moving the tower around.



Nice hats!!!



It was time for the arcade and us on the horses!!!



Sarah won





Expert Grabber Machine Bex got herself 2x Teddies with only £2 in the machine.















We were all getting a big hungry by now so it was nice to head to the pub for another 2for1... as you cans see, Kevin decided to have both to himself



After a good old scrap in the pub... we deffinatley came off better than these guys!!!



Photoshoot time













Whilst taking the photos it was VERY VERY strong winds and we couldn't keep the tripod still so couldn't manage to get many photos that came out unfortunatley.

Once we had finished the shooting we headed off to the Colin McRae meetup that Passion Ford had organised.

We stuck around there, paid out £5 charity fee and purchased a sticker for £3 for the event and then headed off to the illuminations in convoy...

well...

I took the fastest lane down which skipped all the traffic and then stopped in the road waiting for the convoy to move up so we could get in... but i had a police bike come and move me off and then went down another road going the wrong direction past a HUGE line of traffic...

I spotted some s so cut in... and so did everyone else... the Police biker was very angry but couldn't do anything about it lol... was really funny.





We even made some new friends!!!











I had a brilliant time and really enjoyed the whole weekend. It's hard to capture the fun we had and all the energy that was involved but I hope that you enjoyed viewing the pictures and reading the post.

I can't wait to see everyone again at the next meet up.

Thanks again to everyone who came... great meet... great people

Scotty

...What can I say, brilliant write up Scotty, some great shots there (slightly tipsy in a photo or two!).
Thankyou all for coming and making it possible! We had great fun and some great laughs...already planning the next one...but where will it be!
Thanks again.

Great pictures there Scotty. Shame I was working

Oh what a great write up lol. The moment I seen the reflex pics especially with Chris in the 80s gear they made me smile then the giggle continued when I seen the lad in the hats, I never noticed that day Lee that the blue in the hat bought out the blue in your eyes he he.

Scott that photo doesnt even really show the extent of how wet you really were and it so wasnt worth it ha ha.

Im gutted I forgot to get a tacky momento from Blackpool was going to get a replica mini tower lol.

Well done Kev you are now an official bargin hunter with more meal for your money!

I had such a great weekend, great people and weather did not put a dampener on things (sorry I just had to use the pun).

Cant wait to see you all again at x-mas and right on Adam get the next meet arranged we will be there!

ps forgot to say thanx scotty for letting me have a bit of fun in your car firstly through the puddles (sorry i got your car dirty) and secondly down the strip where the illuminations are with my new found friend in the other focus lol

What can i say other than a FANTASTIC weekend was had. Thanks to all who made the effort to attend.

And a special thanks to Adam who sugested the meet ages ago, and Lee who showed us around his local area.

great write up scotty

Thanks for another excellent write-up Scotty.

I think that everyone who was there had a brilliant time. It may not have been the best weather for it, but it didn't really matter. It's the people who are there that makes the meets what they are.

Thanks also to Adam for suggesting we go to Blackpool.

Was def a great weekend. Can't wait until the next one. Shame there isn't a pic of me and Bex living it up in an in car dance club...lol.

Hey, you got a picture of me! lol im in the other Focus next to Bex lol and look at all them stickers, im so proud of myself for making them hehehehehe

You did a good job with making them, fair play to you... mines still on infact.

You are to blame for me losing a months tread off my tyres lol. I wouldn't worry too much... they don't last long with me really!!!

Actually... thinking about it... they have lasted well over 8000miles now... thats surely a record lol.
