Greg - take a look at my "Travelling up to BNG" thread. I'm trying to get a group meeting place set up. Which side of York will you be?

Saying just next to the Railway Station in York. (Sleeping bag!)

"Spare some change guv'nor...."

So from the centre!

daftlad said: Al, Is there any kind of program for Saturday that would help people deceide arrival time.... If we knew what time things kicked off properly, it may help with the convoy thing. This is what I am trying to find out... not very succesfully I'm afraid

How about leaving from York on Saturday morning??

Greg - unfortunately "morning" still leaves quite a large margin for error... and we can cock things up given even the slimmest of margins! In view of the lack of any additional input, I suppose I'll aim to get there for Noon, so will be trundling around York about 11.30. If you want I can meet you north of town at the junction of the York ring road (A1237) with the B1363 Sutton & Huby road. Anyone else wants to join in let me know, I will be going to York via A1/A64.

Perfect, works for me. AA recons abt 40 mins from York - so you'll be there abt 1100!?

<<Added: The junction is 3.14 miles from hotel(6 minutes), still have time for breakfast!>>

I'll mail you my mobile number.

Most amusing - the p/code qtd by Holiday Inn doesn't exist according to "A A"...

I suspect the sigh of relief from our RO will be enough to keep the kite airbourne for an hour or two.

...our car is "sick" - at dealer since 10 am this morning. Still up in the air whether it can be fixed today

"Slightly" too far to come in a 1.6l golf!!

I need a nice reliable TVR.

Porsche just called back - car need 3 need bearings which they don't have in stock.

We will be going nowhere.

DEEPLY unhappy.

Gemini - how do I go about cancelling the 2 x meals for tomorrow evening? (I can handle the hotel cancellation).

Hope you all have a wonderful time - have a beer (or 7) for me.

TOTALLY GUTTED

4.5 hours of Friday driving in Beetle is bad - 1.6l 12 year old car not great for mega distance

We have to bow out.

Deeply annoyed & unhappy!!
