Yes i agree was a great day out nice roads great food great views around the countryside have to do the same run again when weather gets better good to see a few new faces hope everyone enjoyed it think we have lots of different weather rain,sun,snow,wind but didnt stop everyone having a good time i hope heres to the next meet

[Jim H]

As above, it was an enjoyable day out. It's a shame it snowed at the Lion, we must have come out at the wrong time. I hope everybody got home safely, (especially Chris, who is probably still driving now). I may post some of my pics tomorrow, I just wish I took some this morning with all of us together, but still.

A big thanks to Martin (Smog Monster) for organising it. Here's to the next one. :beer:

Just looking in my diary for a date for the next one , same route as today but longer in Helmsley & at the pub :zzz: hopefully warmer weather

[Thurlby12]

yeah good idea marty sure we can organise something that everyone will like maybe goto whitby instead of gothland next time for fish and chips on the way or if anyone has any good ideas were open to ideas maybe later in year organise one for llighwater valley or flamingo land

Edited 2 May, 2010 by Thurlby12

[vrstony]

Of course you could always come north Otterburn , Halfwistle, Hexham Corbridge etc etc, would be in the middle of us and NW lot!! I vote for that

[Thurlby12]

yeah sure we can organise something see the land up north so to speak and you can show us around your neck of the woods :yes:

[vrstony]

ah some great roads and villages up here! always on them with kit car lot!

[<Alskoda>]

It was nice to meet you all today, and a really warm welcome from everyone. Sorry we had to leave early but definately up for next one. Thanks to Smog Monster for organising etc etc. Hope little one's OK Cougar 38.

[cougars38]

Hi, thanks for asking about my little girl, she was feeling ok didn't have anything to wear after being sick all over herself!

Glad the rest of you had a good time, snow up at Blakey?!

Which way did you go to Goathland, did you go through my home village of Grosmont?

Hope to catch up with you next time.

Ian

[Jim H]

I'm glad she was OK, but with no spare clothes, you could not continue with us.

Yes, we are right it was snowing/ sleeting when he finished lunch and leaving Blakely. :yes:

I'm not sure how we got to Goathland from there, I think we went via Rosedale (past the Road Closed signs) then across from there. From Goathland, after paying £2.20 for parking , we did drive through Grosmont, and saw Sir Nigel Gresley in the station, but did not stop. Then Egton, to the main road along to Guisborough.

[chrisw880]

It was a very good drive for me, nice to meet some new faces

[smog monster]

Yep some good roads from Blakey down to Goathland , would have stopped off in a few places for photos thinking about it now , some tight bits too

Looking at some dates for a re-run

[dieseldarren]

I'll keep my eyes on any future dates,

I was 12 hours nights on Saturday night and then on the 0620 Eurotunnel crossing on Monday.

So Sunday was spent mainly sleeping!

I know what you mean about the weather though, as I saw 750 miles of it yesterday,

it's all my fault as I put my summer tyres back on, on Thursday!

It was 27c in Germany then, of course, I brought 7c with me from England

[Jim H]

I have finally got on the main computer and uploaded my pics. As mentioned before, I wish I had taken some in the morning at Roseberry or Helmsley, but I did not anticipate people dropping out, or the change in weather.

At the Lion Inn Car Park after Lunch. I wish I took one before lunch, but my stomach over ruled it, lol.

The Impromptu stop at the Road Closed Sign to look at the maps.

The Famous Scripps Garage in Goathland.
