boxing day meet up.parbold near wigan

#1 PostAuthor: kas750 » Wed Dec 02, 2009 7:57 pm

Well it's nearly that time of year so i thought i would give you a reminder about the boxing day gathering at the wiggin tree pub on parbold hill this boxing day at 9.30 am.Last year there were at least 100 bikes that turned up,nearly all classic jap and british.Hot drinks are available and luckily the last couple of years the weather has been very mild and there have been lots of interesting bikes to see including a few zeds and triples.

Hi Adrian, know the area well but this meet has escaped me (then again it has been about 20yrs since I left the area). :lol:

Hello

The meet actually started as a vmcc run organised by the north west section many years ago and the wiggin tree was the meeting point.The run still starts from there but every year the gathering has got bigger and bigger and initially filled all of the layby on parbold hill but now also fills all of the pub car park .There were at least 5 zeds last year so maybe somebody else on this board goes??The wiggin tree is 2 minutes from jct 27 m6,just follow the signs for southport.

Kaz

Where are you from? i am always passing through Parbold on the way back to Southport with Loz or the other zed heads round here.

If you are local you could get out with us for the ride outs that us North West lads do.

Let me know.

Reecy, I will be there, only wild horses and driving snow will stop me escaping by boxing day !!

It'll be the Z1R, everything else is on a sorn now.

Probably meeting up with Pete and the VJMC boys to ride over ; will give you a shout.

I'll check on the time and post on here. usually, the VMCC lads put on tea/coffee and soup/bread roll at the sports social club ( name ? ) in Burscough after the meet at parbold.. Good place to sit in the relative warmth and have a chat

right, seems its 10am, and the club in Burscough is called barons.

Don't think they move on to Barons until 11;30 or so, and it can be very biting on top of the hill, so will probably aim to be there nearer to 11 than 10.
