Just to recap, the viewing area car park is off the second roundabout you come across when you get off the bridge.
It is signposted "Hessle Viewpoint".
See y`ll there on Sunday, I`ll be there early with phone in case anyone needs to ring for help.
Cheers, Geoff

Geoff.

I am not 100% sure I go as yet now. I have some new commitments at work to complete, that have been pushed my way. I will call you. If I cannot make it to the Humber viewing point at 1100 hrs do not wait.

Can you give me directions to event ?

I spoke with Steve, unable to attend with Tuscan.
Mike & Barbara (348 TB) I will call to confirm.

-Cheers mate!!

Justin.. it`s at the village of Sproatley, east of Hull. If you come later you need to follow the A63 right through Hull - don`t turn off until you arrive at a roundabout with a large BP chemical plant on your right - some 5 miles from the city. Take a left at this, signposted Preston, and follow road to a set of lights in this village. Take a left, go past church, and first right (at pub on corner Nags Head). Follow on, across a junction (give way) and Sproatley is about a mile down this road. Enter village, give way from left, follow main road and turn left at a shop (Park Road). The event is a bout 500 yards down here on a playing field on the left.

Jaime might well be there, Ed is coming (Gumball 3000), Mike and Barbara ?... anyone else will be made very welcome folks.

Any probs give me a call... 07791 282485

Cheers, Geoff

BTW, Justin... no probs mate, I know what a pain work can be. If you can make it great, if you`re busy that`s understandable.

Thanks! I sent him an email with some photos ages ago but haven't heard back. Feel free to give him my email, via my profile.

Top day out Geoff, great bunch of people, again. Justy a shame the rain came towards the end, but you can't have everything.

We (Jacq actually) only took 2 photos all day, but here they are anyway.





We're looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

Finally got my wife off the PC, she had to go back to work today alright for some eh.

I really enjoyed Sunday, despite a couple of problems. The drive in was brill, as soon as the road cleared and the 348’s hit the gas the sound track with the various TVR accompaniment was fantastic.

My first problem you all know about, how to get in a Griff when you lock your keys in the boot, dooh.

The second and this is were I need some more advice, as a result of that monsoon I put my umbrella in the passenger footwell for the short drive up the road to my sisters and to my horror, when removed a few minutes later, I can now see a maroon stain on the seat where the dye has leached into the leather. Any ideas how to get it out.

I took my camera but as usual for me didn’t use it (to busy talking and listening to Gumball stories) except for the first line up which we all took.

Nice one Geoff, see you all again soon,

Simon.
