Another run out, May? Far North maybe?

[snotrag]

As something a little different to the admittedly great roads not far from Leeds/York, theres a cracking route we did once a few years ago in a big group, starting a bit further out near Scotch corner. The route goes into County Durham and I think just about breaks into Northumberland on some great roads, a chunk of which is open, well sighted, good fun. Theres a couple of decent stopping places for a break and a few places near the end (near Barnard Castle maybe?) to get some breakfast.

If anyone fancies it, it would be ideal for another meet up and drive out. Meet time would be sufficiently early, to allow clean thoroughfare and home for lunch time to appease the wifes/kids etc. Date TBC, make your suggestions. Usual applies - its not a race, drive safe, dont make a racket through villages and wait for who ever is behind you at junctions, and enjoy it.

I will be either in my MX-5 or whatever I replace it with (its up for sale). I'm happy to lead and I have one of Mark H's old marked up maps I can share before hand.

Alternative start points/route ideas also welcome, could go from York over the NYM, go up chimney bank, maybe go for fish and dirks at the seaside instead.

Anyone?

If I'm not working count me in, not fussed on route or meeting point.

[Willber]

Sounds good, count me in!

[jock mcsporran]

Depending on dates I might be in although I doubt I can do anything in the next four weeks.

If it's Sunday the 13th May I'll come..

Can't really do any others.

[philmots]

Just thinking be nice if didn't have to fuel up mid run.. I'm looking at 250 miles at the most.

If we're heading as far as Northumberland it could be an issue!

[burriana]

Not if the start point is somewhere like Scotch Corner services.

May 13th is also Cars In The Park for those of you who go. There may be some runs prior to that around the area.

If its a nice day, I will tag along in the S2000. Not had the roof down yet with all the bad weather

If I'm home on whatever date is decided I'll definitely come! I love the roads up that way

[snotrag]

Nice one, I'll have a look at the calendar this weekend and see what we reckon.

I've had the roof down on Louise's Z4 about three or four times this week alone

Looks like 20th May is best date for me, ok?

[philmots]

Can'd do 20th.. only 13th

[YorkshirePudding]

I'm working on the 20th, might have to take a day off.

[Dan_1981]

20th works for me - will just depend on how far North you plan on going!
