Dawn Raid

[sparkyhx]

Hi I'm organising a bit of a runout early Sunday morning 20th. Details are still being worked out but will include routes encompassing the Yorkshire Dales around Hawes neck of the woods.

Plan is for a 7am start near the A1 Knaresborough - but I will post more details over the next few days.

Anyone interested?

Lady toilet stops and breakfast will be worked in

nah I've had a thread ticking along on SXOC for a while, before it was mentioned on here - just thought I would open it up now something has been finalised for SXOC and the Yorkshire one appears to be stalled.

As for the Term "Dawn Raid" - that goes back 20+ years for me with the High Performance Club (HPC) using the term. - Theirs started at 4 am (ouch)

so are you coming?

[Mark.H]

So would ours if me and Stu had our way ... but no other bugger'll get up

I would come but it sounds like a bit too late a start for me. On our normal dawn raids we are back home, having done about 150 miles and had breakfast, by about 9am ... which when you leave the wife looking after a 5 and a 1 yr old has certain benefits on the 'not getting your head chewed off' front

you'd need to put fuel in it though

Looking at the Forcast this is deffo on at the moment.

Meet 6:45 - 7:00
A1/A59 Knaresborough Junction (J47?)
There is a lay-by just after the junction towards Knaresborough.

We will be setting off close to 7:00 so don't be late.

N.B. there is no V-Power available en-route, there is BP Ultimate but its not clear if its 24hr. So please bear this in mind

The route is about 120 miles but can be reduced if we want to. - please bring a map

I will be handing out route instruction and a small map when you arrive.

I will email those who post on the thread my Mobile number.

Its a secret held onto by generations

In order to keep the peace and quiet - so it'll be alright to tell you then !

Clue is in Sparkies reply - Thwaite North Yorks - down to Hawes

Has a nice drop off to keep your conccentration levels up

Every time! Do you realise I'm putting my marriage on the line as I'm going behind the wifes back to fit a Tubi and decat.... I mean sports cats officer!

Going to have to try that road out though, although may not be in the yellow peril. Looks a bit bumpy?

[burriana]

To be honest, a great scenic road, but cr@p for driving on at speed. You WILL bottom out several times. In my humble opinion, there are just as good roads a lot closer to home with much better surfaces.

Janty,
I would consider putting a decatted capristo instead a decatted tubi on the 355.
Tubi sounds best on a 348 and capristo on a 355.

I know, I'd love a Capristo for the 355, but sadly I cant afford to stretch that far. Dave H has told me where I can get a Tubi for not much money, so figured its better than nothing?
