Yorkshire meet - 28 April

[Lavazza]

Devonshire Arms Skipton as opposed to Devonshire Arms Grassington I guess?

Although either looks very civilised.

Ps. Thanks for doing all the organising

Yes, Skipton. It's just off the A59 so should be easy for all to depart from there.

Don't thank me until it's all worked out!

 

[Lavazza]

I've organised car meets before, and it's not always easy, if ever...so I thought I'd say 'thanks'.

I'm sure it'll be really good fun. I'm looking forward to it. This is a really good forum and it's good to meet in reality and not just cyberspace.

I like those narrow roads through Malham but they are better suited to the Alfa rather than our wider Maserati. We were lucky on the run last year and the scenery is much better... That said no overtake opportunities so if you get stuck its worse than the A59.

Given there's quite a few of us, I think caravan alley on the A65/59 is the sensible option. The roads through Malham are narrow and we could cause some proper chaos.

 

[Wanderer]

Put me as a possible, not because of the barmcake issue just that I might be in Basel.....

 

[Mike X]

I will be flying solo but looking forward to meeting every one , the route sounds great , I went to Malham on a school trip many years ago and loved it , can’t wait to have another look .

 

[MrMickS]

Going to have to bail I'm afraid. Too much going on and I need to get it cleared out before heading off on my trip to France/Spain at the end of next month.

 

[Lozzer]

I'm about 80% sure I will be free on that Sunday, I'll try not to be such a straggler this time!

So now I'm in the 20% that says I will be working that day, sorry, gutted.

Revised list. Weather looks ok for next Sunday though not cracking the flags like today (might keep the roads a bit quieter!).

Can you all PM me your mobile numbers (and your real names!) and I'll set up a WhatsApp group so we can keep in touch. Radios will be helpful as well.

Got space at the pub for 20 so if anyone else wants to tag along or just turn up for a catch up then let me know. I need to confirm numbers on Saturday.

Look forward to seeing you then.

P.M. sent .

Just seen this would have definitely been there were it not for the fact little one has his first football league game at 10:40 after the 2 week Easter break.

Did think about meeting up for lunch at the pub just but be an hour in one direction for me so probably a bit much. Looks a great route

 

[Mike X]

I know what you mean Ryandoc , it’s 87 miles (hour & half) for me just to get to the starting point , looking forward to a good run out for the Spyder though , can’t wait

It's a roll. That's all. A roll.
A teacake has fruit and spices in it.
A muffin can be a type of cupcake or a small flat thing
A bun is sweet
It might be a bap, but I really doubt it

C

I am with you.. bread roll.

I’m trying to figure out the timings, prob be midday before I could depart from Teesside but I’d never catch up lol.

Can I add a +1 please , thank you .

 

[Mike X]

Really enjoyed today , thanks guys and thanks Dave for organising it .

 

[mjheathcote]

Thanks for organising Dave, great day, great to meet old and new faces, apart from my battery issues.
Thank goodness for the lithium ion battery jump pack, used it 6 times today, and testing the battery voltage now home indicates as fully charged, but obviously can't deliver enough amps to even engage the starter solenoid!
202 miles in total which for the old girl (Stag) is a very good drive out these days!
