Four Counties Meet

[bentley01]

Having read about your Northumbrian meetings and drives I think it might be time to have a meeting of Northern Astons from Lancashire,Cumbria,Yorkshire and Northumbria. We might even let a few Derbyshire boys/ girls come along. What about adding your thoughts to a suitable place to meet for lunch and a drive that would be central from most directions. Please let me know what you think.

Good idea. Skipton / Harrogate area?

We did an RS Focus northern run out back in 2010 starting from near Hawes. Went over the Buttertubs Pass http://www.drivingroads.co.uk/buttertubs-pass-york... then up to the Tan Hill pub (highest in England) onto Brough then over to Middleton in Teesdale then thro Alston over to the Hartside Café and down into Penrith. Works out around 80 miles (+ getting to and from the start finish points!!).

Not sure where to meet. Hawes might be a good place but it would be good to get some iideas from the North East boys and the Peak District massive. Decide a date and then go from there. Please add your input!

[V8V Pete]

I'd definitely be up for this but Hawes is a 2.5 hour drive-in for me so my vote would go to a Harrogate meet up point. As much notice of date as possible please so I can swap if on-call . I'm assuming this would be a Sunday outing.

Harrogate area sounds good to me too, I'm from Leeds so that only 45mins away.

[bentley01]

Harrogate sounds good. Any ideas where would be a good meeting place. We need plenty of parking and good food.

[AdamV12V]

Parking in Harrogate?! I'm guessing you havn't been then?

Perhaps a pub just outside Harrogate might be a good idea...

[morty1961]

Harrogate is 2.5 hours for me from South Cumbria

Maybe we could post up a list of interested parties and an approx. area where you are travelling from ?

We did one a few years ago. Met at a hotel near Leeds, it was thick fog when we set off in the morning.
There is a video on here somewhere of it. It was a fantastic day over great roads.

South Yorkshire also, approx 1:30 to Harrogate, V8V

Maybe not for this trip, but I had a really good run over the North York Moors the other week, Pickering to Whitby, then on to Guisborough, Stokesely, Helmsley, Thirsk. The B1257 between Stokesley and Helmsley was a particular highlight. Especially putting daylight between me and the 2 superbikes chasing me

So any ideas on a suggested date - seems we have enough already indicating they would like to attend!
