Hello maxi-muppets!
On Facebook i have created a public ride outs page:
A ride out to Blackpool to see the illuminations, some setting off from Leeds, and meeting others on route to Blackpool. Taking the since route.
It unless going to seeing the pretty lights in day light so going to make it an evening ride, meeting about 3pm, get there for about 5pm -6pm, i not been to the seaside for a while so i fancy a park up and get in at least one arcade to get rid of all these 1p and 2pm i got piling up LOL
If your on Facebook visit that link, or put your name down here.
Thanks
Solo

Re: Blackpool Illuminations Ride!
At the lights, the main street is usually one way system from begining to end. I suggest you either do the lights ride first ,or, park off the main drag in the back streets. I would suggest the back streets behind the Central Pier, plenty of room, and some decent cafe's and fairly central for a walk around. Mid week is best if poss. Have a pleasant time.

Its not always one way took 3 1/2 hrs one Saturday night to drive thro would have took 30 mins tops from Fleetwood end

Hi Solo,the lights are switched on each night in October between 6.30pm and 7.00pm.,it's best to start at Fleetwood,less traffic and at the end Squires Gate,you are only 5 to 10 minutes from the M6.

I think he means they turn them on at about 6.30/7pm not that they are on for half an hour lol
