Yorkshire Cruise 16th July 2011

Deano1712 · Post by **Deano1712** » Wed 22 Jun, 2011 10:15

Im planning on running a cruise on Saturday 16th July. Meet 9am-ish for a 10am start at Ferrybridge services (M62/A1 junction). The cruise will be similar to one I ran 3 years ago, taking a long lunch in a pub in North Yorkshire. End point will be Wetherby services on the A1 at 4-5pm.

Details of the last cruise I ran in this area in 2008 is here.

If you want to come along please confirm attendance by responding to this post. All I need to know for now is whether you plan on bringing a passenger so I know how many to book into the pub for lunch. I will keep a list of attendees on the lead post here:

Attendees:

Deano1712 (2)
TrickyZ1 (1)
Canman (2)
yocky z3 2.0 (2)
pingu (1)

Jamezee (1)
Z3BEDEE (2)
maurice the martian (2)

Cheers,
Mark

Nico - I cant help with that one, sorry. Im sure there are hundreds in the area. Google is your friend there.

Hi Mark,
Not any good at downloading itn files,

Cheers Maurice

Sent you a pm. I have a marked up map to hand out on the day, so if anyone gets lost you know where we are heading.

There's loads of places to camp in Yorkshire!
Once Deano has decided where the cruise ends on Saturday, you'll be able to find a campsite

Malcolm E Zed · Post by **Malcolm E Zed** » Thu 14 Jul, 2011 20:05

Seeing as it is all a bit secret squrrel can you email me the route as well please.

Deano1712 · Post by **Deano1712** » Thu 14 Jul, 2011 20:18

I dont have your e mail Karl - pm it to me and I will send details.

I have now e mailed the tomtom and garmin itinery files out showing the route. I'm missing four e mail addresses in total (yocky, Malcom E, Z3BEDEE & Daz2626) so if you want the files send me a pm with your e mail address and I will get back to you.

The itinery navigates ok via 'fastest route'. Please load it up and let me know if there are any problems with it. Its good on my 720Go.

Bring a walky-talky if you have one - I will use to communicate if we have any problems whilst driving.

I plan to be a Ferrybridge services around 9am. Try to get there by 9.30 so we can have a natter and hopefully get on the go before 10am - maybe 9.45. The route is 140 miles in total so please some with a full(ish) fuel tank.

There will be 2 groups. I will be leading one and Rich (TrickZ1) wll lead the second.

The weather forecast is not looking bril so please cross fingers and toes its ok on the day

I'm really looking forward to it!

Canman · Post by **Canman** » Thu 14 Jul, 2011 22:18

is that a fast group and a not so fast group then Mark ?

Deano1712 · Post by **Deano1712** » Thu 14 Jul, 2011 22:56

Well not specifically, but my car has more power than Richard's

If its raining then my car is going to be a handful.

Canman · Post by **Canman** » Fri 15 Jul, 2011 07:53

looks like a wash out

Nah ....
More like a summer cruise

However, I don't think I'd recommend trying the theory "you don't get wet with the roof down if you go fast enough "

Forecast on Sky is showing the worst of the rain in the south. Sunshine and showers in the north, certainly in the afternoon. Have faith

garyw · Post by **garyw** » Fri 15 Jul, 2011 16:44

I'll have my sunroof open

Just leaving for some northern hospitality - so if I turn up tomorrow with a black eye, you know why
