Fantastic Meeting Place!!!!

Burge · Post by **Burge** » Tue Oct 22, 2002 9:57 am

Just discovered the wherabouts of "The Forbidden Corner" See links for more info.

Thought this would be a great place for a meet next spring. I am going on Sunday to check it out. Can't wait. Didn't even know it existed until last week. A theme park with a difference!!

It's in Wensleydale in North Yorkshire in the Dales National Park so it would be a lovely drive.

Let me know what you think?

How much further north is it to Alton Towers???? (if you know!)
Col - do you have a badge - he he he! You know you aren't gonna live that one down!!!

Julia don't know how much further it is in miles but a fair way. If you follow the map up the A1 and turn left at Leeming towards a place called Masham (where Theakstons is brewed - we could combine a visit there!!) I think it is not far from a place called Leyburn. Plenty of cheese on sale there!!

This would work very well with an overnight stay around York somewhere, do a Ghost walk then this labyrinth on the Sunday with a visit maybe to a brewery aswell. Oh no me imagination is now running riot!!! Heeeeelp

Great ideas!!!
But.....
I would personally prefer Alton Towers. I feel really bad as I know you travelled all that way down to see us!!!!
What do other people think??
Maybe a vote/poll on here. Alton Towers or the secret kingdom place???

The thing about this place is although its further than alton towers, its an easier drive since your on a straight road on the M1. I prefer this scary kingdom place.

Hmmm looking at the map again , it much further than i thought for you guys, its near scotch corner, which is about 40 miles from newcastle. I must have seen it on the local news and not blue peter (phew!!)

For all you southerner coming up i'll buy you a pint!!! is that an incentive or what!

Erm,

It's about time you broadened your horizons - there's a whole country out there to explore!!

I dont wanna get a nosebleed

i;ve been to elland road (leeds) anfiled (liverpool) and Old trafford (manchester) I think thats broad enuff

been to york by train with my school a couple of years ago so i have broadened my horizon

lol

BTW u see they only now have 90 parking spaces and the forbidden corner......

In conclusion i say.....ALTON TOWERS

Yes Erm there are only 90 spaces BUT! you have to book in advance before you go so there shouldn't be a problem - we may even be able to get allocated space for the CC's but I will check it out on Sunday. They don't like it to be too busy because of the traffic causing a problem so it should be nice and people will be able to work together and solve the clues and get to know each other at the same time. We could even arrange for Julia and you to be in the same team!!

.

But hey if you really don't want to come I am going anyway.
