Pity not weekend before as I will be down seeing my daughter then and would only be 24 miles away from the museum.

That's a shame mate, being a mechanic you could've helped with ongoing restoration .

 

[Paul Rice]

Me and Jacquie will be up for this. Only 20 miles for us so can meet up any where local to Scunthorpe. Travel Lodge at M18 / M180 Junction including Greggs and Costa, about 18 miles from Scunthorpe.

Thanks Paul. I'll add that into the starter info.

There is a nice route avoiding M180 takes about 10 minutes longer but worth it, takes in site of Flixborough brings you in at back of Scunthorpe close to Museum

 

[Jjim]

Afraid we are away that weekend, otherwise I would have been interested to go to this

Happy with that mate

 

[andyglym]

Bump

 

[Paul Rice]

Have a good a/b road route already in the can if anyone fancies a run to the coast after the visit, takes about an hour at a steady pace.

Yup.

 

[Mint]

Shame this clashes with the Autumn Colours Cruise, otherwise I'd have been interested. Perhaps another time?

 

[Rob T]

Please add me and Janette to the list.

Weather looking good for Sunday
Anyone fancy a look around this unique museum then a run to the coast for Lunch.
Will be leaving services about 9:30 after a drink and a bacon butty

What coast are you thinking of going to? How long does everyone anticipate being at the museum and is this the museum that was reported as closing soon in here?

Not sure about Paul's route as not familiar with the area. Probs a couple of hours then off for lunch then a spin round. The Museum is currently looking for a new home, which I think it will.

 

[Paul Rice]

After the Museum visit will be heading for Humberstone, Cleethorpes via Brigg Sticking to A & B roads. Quick way home M180/M18 then M62 or M1 or A1 if required
