Wirral Egg Run 16th March - Thread to Arrange Ride in / Out to Meeting point

Where's The Little Stanney?

I like the sound of a bimble after the Egg Run with food at the end of the ride!

I'm happy to meet anywhere.

Top of me 'ead, I think the little stanney is just of the M53 near cheshire oaks in ellesmere port, if anyone,s coming over we could do the usual M56 chester services meet and go in to the stanney from there.

yeah Stewie, thats about close enough ... come off M53 for Cheshire Oaks (J10 I think) and then instead of heading into Cheshire Oaks itself you carry straight on over the roundabout towards North Wales, but about 500 yards down on the right is the pub.

Chester Services is just as good a meeting place tho ... and seems to be more well-known

i've not done that stretch of the run myself before, so i will e-mail the organizers of the egg run and find out tho (unless someone else knows for sure?)

It's NOT closed roads, you must be road legal and observe the speed limits etc. Check the 'The Rules' section of the Wirral Egg Run website.

The Stanney sounds good place to meet. Not sure about getting petrol at Tesco as it will be busting full of bikes, suggest anyone that needs to fuel up for the egg run fills up at Sainsbury's at Cheshire Oaks. It's right next to the main road so easy to find.

Probs a good idea Mike ... but if anyone does go to Sainsburys could you pick me up a loaf and some smoked bacon???

Even if we`re not doin a petrol stop can we still have a 2nd meet at Tesco`s.... its en route more or less and will enable the riders coming from the other direction a chance to at least say hi before we probs get split up during the actual run.

We need to organise a meeting point following the run as well
