Manchester lads and (according to others on the forum) hots chicks,
may I suggest meeting in the layby outside Worlsey Church, just off junc 13 M60 at 0830.
Its at the junction of Leigh Road, Walkden Road. If more is needed, search for the Marriott Hotel, Worsley, the layby is next to the top roundabout.
mudge32, el saxo, black rider and all others welcome
Belt it around the M60, up the M66, A56 to junc 8 M65, then either up to Clitheroe and aross the A59, or if a bit late, M65, A56 again then A59 to Skipton.
