What time did the Leeds contingent actually arrive at Cross Butts? We set off from Leeds in dribs and drabs and gave up following the prescribed route about halfway through. The traffic on the A64 meant we were pretty much stationary for three quarters of an hour so we peeled off at Strensall.
Took a route over Howardian Hills and North York Moors (avoiding the A169) and it was nearly completely clear. We didn't save much time but we managed to give the car a decent honking. The group from Newcastle said they'd managed to stay in convoy so maybe a different route from Leeds next time? Or make it a breakfast meet?
I think we ended up merging with Leeds on the A64, it was chaos. The Newcastle bunch had a better run, as I think they merged on the Whitby road.Took a route over Howardian Hills and North York Moors (avoiding the A169) and it was nearly completely clear.

Our Sheffield bunch managed to all stay together until the A64 York traffic lights, where it merges 2 lanes into 1. At that point I was busting for a wee, and had to stop in a local pub. The OPC people in Sheffield said they tried a breakfast stop last year and it was a nightmare getting everyone back together. But nothing stopping a few making a different route with breakfast.
