North East Meet and Drive

[Buster73]

Pleasure to meet you all today , pity I had to shoot off early , to make it worse the golf got cancelled so I could have stopped.

Look forward to the August meet.

Hope it was a successful meet up
Sorry I couldnt boost the bumbers by making it
Hopefully date works well for next one, avoid Bank Hol weekend if possible (British Motogp)

It was a great meet. 7 fantastic cars joined by a further one half way through the trip.
The weather wasn't great to start with, so special thanks and respect to those that turned up.
However as we left Weardale and dropped down into Teesdale the weather cleared for us.
We ended up by calling in at the Bowes Museum where we were invited to park right outsife the front.
A great run out made all the more special by some wonderful cars and lovely people.

Looks like a cracking day James, well done for organising it.

I hope I can make the next one, the line up needs Lightning Silver in it to brighten it up

[northernmedia]

Yes well done for sorting James.
Looks like you all had a great time.
Will try my best to join the next one.

[james-witton]

Thanks Matt
We've had an invite to go up the Northumberland Coast for he next one, probably mid August to avoid the Bank Holiday.
Then I reckon it will be the turn of the glorious North Yorkshire Moors, don't you?

It was great to meet some lovely people and hopefully I'll get some more photos to put up soon.
it was an impressive convoy.

Yorkshire lad now living in CA, driving a Vantage. Still have family in Guisborough, so if I happen to be back in Blighty, I'd love to join you on a dash around the Moors (never driven a right-hand drive Aston)!

[james-witton]

Let us know when you're over here and I'm sure we could sort something out.
Drove a Mustang around a bit of CA last year ( well you have to in SF) but I bet an Aston would have been a great drive on some of those fantastic roads.

[bentley01]

James if you head more towards Lancashire/Cumbria or the Dales there are a few of us that would meet up with you. Might be an idea for a future drive out

[james-witton]

Hi Darren
Why don't you organise a NW meet up?

Maybe a group from the NE could meet up with you halfway?

We could meet at the top of Hartside pass .

Roger that, James.

I live in Sonoma, a few miles north of SF - let me know next time you're in town and you can try an Aston around the wine country yourself!

[james-witton]

Sonoma was our favourite place!
We met a great couple who have the J Gregory Wines.
Great people and great wine.
Loved The Girl And The Fig restaurant.
Will definitely take you up on that if ever we are back there.
Just like Guisborough.

Good spot

[mrteegrassgill]

Looks great. Sorry couldn't make it. Hopefully the august trip will be better timing.

Being right in the middle happy to join a NW or NE drive.
