Cruise Yorkshire March 15th

Deano1712 · Post by **Deano1712** » Fri 14 Dec, 2007 20:13

Anyone up for a meet Sat 15th March?

The plan is to meet M62 junction 33 Ferrybridge Services 9.30am for a 10am start. We will drive north towards the North York Moors. A taste of it here:

End point will be at Boroughbridge late afternoon. This is on the A1 30 miles north of the start point.

There is petrol at the start point and the end point. If you want decent petrol V Power available about 5 miles south from the start point on the A1. Please ensure you have a full tank at the start since we are driving around 150 miles.

The lunch venue is limited to 50 people so there will be a limit on numbers attending if it gets that high.

Please observe the speed limits. Please observe Cruise Etiquette at all times.

To confirm your attendance please PM me with the following information:
- Your forum name
- Your real name
- Your passenger's name if any
- Your mobile telephone number
- Your contact e-mail address
- What car you will be bringing, its colour and registration

There will be an e mail sent nearer the time showing the route and lunch menu.

would prefer a Sunday,

but all being well I should be able to make it.

Nice one since I'm gonna miss the New Year meet

big cheesy · Post by **big cheesy** » Fri 14 Dec, 2007 20:29

I fancy this one as long as it does not clash with anything major. Sat suits me fine. Bring on the better weather.

big cheesy · Post by **big cheesy** » Fri 14 Dec, 2007 20:34

Must ask given all the issues on the board at the moment would it be a rebels ride out, a forum conformists cruise or just a bunch of folk enjoying a day out in nice car with like minded folk.

pingu · Post by **pingu** » Fri 14 Dec, 2007 20:35

I'm keen on the March trip.

Not so sure about being a Christmas gooseberry, but if the views are good I could be up for it

.

whiteminks · Post by **whiteminks** » Fri 14 Dec, 2007 20:37

Big Cheesy, I am sure it will be an absolute blast!

I've met Mark (Deano) on a few cruises and he is practically 'horizontal' ....... or so his Canadian girlfriend tells me

( just jesting

)

Hi Gary you are more than welcome. Kerri is over from Guelph for a week and would be well impressed with a mini convoy. Im thinking Saturday 29th Dec at the mo.

Would have been nice being so close to home (and if I get my new Zed by then!), but have a family wedding in that month, our weddings go on for a bit....

Yep, please include myself Mark. If you want to mail me regarding route and road suggestions, I'm more than happy to assist.

Deano1712 · Post by **Deano1712** » Mon 17 Dec, 2007 16:42

Excellent guys. It looks like we are going to have a good turnout.

Paul - yes I will be in touch. Off to the pub now - its my birthday

Straight_Six · Post by **Straight_Six** » Mon 17 Dec, 2007 17:08

Ill hopefully be able to come to this deano as long as im not working (i work every other saturday). i'll know for sure closer to the time!

i think im going to get blown away with all the M's going to the event! lol

beemer · Post by **beemer** » Mon 17 Dec, 2007 17:18

I'd like to come along too if that's ok.. Unless i get to another meet between now and then, i'll be a drive out (or whatever you like to call it) virgin

The Saturday would be good with me as it stands. Fingers crossed nothing else crops up

Good effort! Nice to see some new cruises being organised

Not sure what I'm/We're doing that weekend yet, so stick me down as a definately interested.

Mark, for what it's worth, our first cruise was in the harsh winter of 99 and 4 of us turned up over near Halifax. The run was a bit odd as we went through the middle of 2 or 4 busy towns, which was not much fun at all. When we eventually got going, we stopped for lunch in the coldest dreariest pub known to man!

This one will be on some of Britains best roads, with what looks like a good bunch. We'll be in a 2.8, so wont be able to keep the M's in sight either

, so don't worry about that. Everyone should drive at their own pace and as long as people wait for the Z behind them to re-appear at each junction, we don't get split up either.

beemer · Post by **beemer** » Mon 17 Dec, 2007 19:39

sounds good.. hopefully we'll be able to make it.

I ride a bike too and have been on tons of rideouts. We always ride for the person behind, waiting at junctions, etc. so sounds like a similar setup. Will be good to get out and about on some nice roads. I've been into Wales a few times and really enjoyed it. Hopefully it will be nice enough to get the roof down too.

whiteminks · Post by **whiteminks** » Mon 17 Dec, 2007 19:43

Ooooooooh you tell some porkies Stu............

God knows what you'd do in an M, we'd all have to have a one day head start

I am hoping my first cruise as organiser goes a bit better than that Stu! I think you missed a "S" out in the second paragraph.

Perhaps you can be rear gunner, that way you wont hold anyone up

Filling up nicely, hope I can get to this one. The more the merrier

Gazza · Post by **Gazza** » Wed 19 Dec, 2007 23:45

I've never been to Yorkshire so I'm very tempted

Plotted the route from London to Huddersfield on RAC Route Planner and it says 211 miles with a time of 4h 6 mins, does that sound realistic?

beemz · Post by **beemz** » Thu 20 Dec, 2007 07:23

Yeh that's about right. Did the trip last month and it took 3 1/2hrs in light traffic so around 4 hrs would be right.

Richi · Post by **Richi** » Sat 29 Dec, 2007 14:42

Hi Deano,

I'm based in York and would be interested to join you all if there's food available!

Would you keep me in the loop please ?

Kind Regards,

Rich.

Ian_C · Post by **Ian_C** » Mon 31 Dec, 2007 09:06

You can put me down for this one too

Deano1712 · Post by **Deano1712** » Mon 31 Dec, 2007 17:05

Ok Richi and myredzed I have added you onto the list - 18 cars so far showing interest!

I did an initial recce yesterday. There are some very interesting roads, and lovely scenery. I will be posting some more details in a few weeks time.

c_w · Post by **c_w** » Mon 31 Dec, 2007 18:29

I'm interested in this one.

Hi
I think I might be able to attend the run out that weekend. Not too far for me to travel either which is a bonus.

Will you add me to the list please Deano1712

Regards
Orinoco

Post by **Robert T** » Sun 06 Jan, 2008 21:14

I'm interested too! It's sounding like quite and event!

Cheers R.

Deano1712 · Post by **Deano1712** » Sun 06 Jan, 2008 22:17

OK guys I have added you on.

I have updated the top post a bit. Can people please start sending me confirmations, as directed?

With 23 cars on the interested list this is proving quite popular!

We will probably have to go in 2 or more groups so if one or more of you would like to volunteer to lead a second group that would be great. We could use some sweepers too to make sure nobody gets lost off the back, especially in Paulas group

I will be doing a full recce one Saturday soon so will let you know incase anyone fancies a drive out with me. I drove the first bit of it today - great fun - tempered only by a cracked rear screen as I tried to drop the hood in the cold

garyw · Post by **garyw** » Sun 06 Jan, 2008 23:24
