Any regular Sunday morning blatters?

When, where and how far do you go?

A month into Caterham ownership and I've been lucky enough to get 3 successive Sunday morning blats in - only couple of hours at a time, 80 miles or so, getting as far as Grassington on a circular loop from north Leeds.

I've been going mid-morning by which time the roads are getting busy especially with the recent good weather. Thinking this week that I might aim to go much earlier in search of empty roads.

Anyone else get out at the crack of dawn to do the same on a regular basis?

Setting off closer to 6 is better - have done a couple of loops out to the Dales (180 miles)and NY Moors (190 miles) before a good breakfast, and leisurly drive home recently.

It's light by 5.30 so times a wasting otherwise!

My last one was 4:15 start, 170miles. Went past Gargrave, Settle, Ribblehead, Buttertubs and then headed over to Leeming Bar Services for a Maccys breakfast. Was home for 8:30. Lovely.

Have you not visited the Yorkshire forum before?!

We had one only a couple of weeks ago, 6am start, 120 miles or so up to Ribblehead Viaduct, over Buttertubs, back for breakfast at the Wellington for 8:30

I'll be doing a run towards the East sometime after I get back from Le Mans.

Ha ha, no not much before now!

I was really asking who gets up early every(?) Sunday for a drive out, ie on a regular basis just for the sake of enjoying their car? I've always done the odd day and overnight roadtrips before a few times a year, but never made it a routine part of my week. I will be doing in the Caterham for as long as the weather stays decent. I like the idea of a pre-breakfast blat, if only I could just go to bed & get up early enough!

Owning a special car and driving it once in a while is one thing, but incorporating it into your weekly routine life is another...
