You don't need a rat to attend but if you have one it'll fit right in Wink

Theres bands and all sorts of shenanigans going off, have a look through the gallery to see previous years, although this year is going to be pretty huge, i was at last years and it was a proper laugh.

I know its not really everyone's thing Laughing

But there's at least 5 who frequent this here forum going..

£7 to pre book, £10 on the day..

Get on the M6 down to Knuxford or whatever it's called then off to Macclesfield, then you can take the Cat n Fiddle to Buxton Cool

Then A6 to Matlock/Ambergate and A610. It's about 2 hours ride, so not really very far.

If anyone tries to tell you that they're the rally secretary and that the show has been cancelled. They aren't and it hasn't.

And if I find out it's someone from here, there will be trouble! Evil or Very Mad

Theres one guy coming on the train, a couple in cars (due to reasons from none mot'ed bikes to shoulders resembling jelly with broken crockery mixed in)
If you wanna go via the train i'll give you a lift from the nearby station Laughing

Should be great though, been looking forward to this since.. well.. the last one Laughing
