I searched for this car park online and it gave me the following. Ferry Meadows, Peterborough, PE3 6LN Its being arranged by "The Great North Road Classic & Vintage Vehicle meets" which is not a club and basically just stuff organised by a guy called Mark Fishpool within a radius of Peterborough. He says it will be a "mystery tour covering scenic rural B roads" but won't be drawn on which direction that will be. Some suggest he doesn't know himself but it appears they usually make a circular route of about 40 or so miles. I have been to a few of their static get togethers, which have been good, but didn't manage to join a drive last year, so it will be a new experience for me as well. Last Summer they were arranging 2 events pretty much every week so if this drive is ok I will try and do a few more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 I believe this Car Park to be Next door to the Caravan Club site. There is a big Car Park next door, from memory of using the Camp site. Try:- 52.5616209701636, -0.30654911437511334 On Google Maps. or sat Nav?. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete That's the car park I thought it was but looking on Google Maps it suggests going through the barriers, as the instructions say, would raise a parking charge. I'm trying to get clarification and will get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliff.b Posted March 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Right, I have found the meet point. It's another car park at Ferry Meadows called Gunwade Lake Car Park, just off the A47 approaching Castor. if heading West on the A47, take the slip road to Castor, turn left then left again and continue through the yellow height restriction. Google maps recognises Gunwade Lake Car Park or enter coordinates 52.57158, -0.32099 Let me know if you are going Mathew (or anyone else) and I will look out for you. If not, I will check it out and report back for next time 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shops in the spit then trying to get an mot on yellow spitfire. Thats booked for tomorrow. Probably just as well as I didn't realise you are supposed to tell them you are joining the drive. Fortunately I had done so and after a 20 mile drive to meet up near Peterborough, we all headed in a vaguely North West direction for the next hour and a half. At that point, we were near Melton Mowbray & decided we better head for home as my Wife had grandchildren to pick up from school. So home now, after 120miles, but the others weren't even at the halfway picnic stop when we left them. Anyway, it has been a beautiful day for it and enjoyed some truly beautiful countryside & roads that I had never seen before👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliff.b Posted April 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Just got home from this morning meeting and it was a great turnout. 14 Triumphs and a Bond turned up along with I would say 70+ other cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliff.b Posted April 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 But if nobody did go then maybe there's little point in advising when these meets are on. So if anyone does want to know when they are on, please tell me and I will be happy to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night i was working nights, i won't be finished till Wednesday morning, then back sunday night. This seems to be on every 2 weeks at the moment. Does that mean it's always going to conflict with your shifts or might it work out for you sometimes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I counted there were roughly 80 cars but in total I would say over 100 attended s some point. Also, quite a few people in modern cars turning up to have a look.

cliff.b Posted April 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Just for the record, there were 5x TR6s, a TR8 and a couple each of TR5s, Spitfires, Dolomites (one a Sprint) and Heralds. No GT6s, other saloons or anything older than the green Herald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
