Just a point for the guys travelling from the north - Alan's suggested meeting up en-route on the A19. I can go that way. Anyone else?
Also, are we going through to Borobridge, to come back north or meeting up with the main group at Helmsley?
Cal - any news yet on the 530?
Cheers.
Mick

Well, I've just been a lazy get and taken the car through the 'Monster Wash', given the inside a pollish and am all ready for the morning (save the car-juice and nosh).
Hopefully will meet at the Morrisons car park, unless she who must be obeyed has nicked me trowel to do her make-up and it hasn't set in time...

Me... well, I have just picked up my new (for new read 1990) toy and hand washed it only to find it was a nice silver colour really.
I also thought about meeting up en route as we live in Stockton On Tees, then it dawned on me that as this is our first meet, it is entirely possible we end up following some bod into their drive should we latch on to the back of the wrong beemer.
See you all in't morning at Morrisons.
Mike & Gill.

That's fine with me Alan. What about meeting up at the services on the A19 just past the Black/White Swan crossroads at 0945?

Just got back home - parked up at the abbey (car park is 2/4 hours 4/24 hours and was fairly empty - going by past experiences the marine/co-op car parks are always full (hope you all got a space )
Since it wasn't a convoy type outing I made a few diversions - turned off to Sandsend via Lythe.
Had a nice walk along the Abbey side cliff top path, a lot more has eroded away into the sea since the last time I went.
Going home, I took a turning in Sleights and headed towards Egton Bridge and back that way.
Nice to see a few more faces, and next time Howard - I'll wear a name badge
(will post a few piccies when I've re-sized them, took in Whitby and on the way home)

Hi guys and gals,
We got back not too long ago either, but actually managed to get into the Marina Car Park (eventually!).
Gill and I thoroughly enjoyed the day and the chance to finally eat in the Fish Fryer of the Year 2004/5's restaurant was a bonus.
Nice to meet Howard, Rhys, Paul and respective ladies and those whose names I didn't learn this trip.
Many thanks for making us both feel welcome and we look forward to taking part in future meets.
Mike and Gill

If you park in the Abbey car park, you can walk down to the front and you comeout next to the chippy you are on about (they have a big banner hung outside at the back). I always go to Hadleys on the corner, but will have to try this one next time

Anyone know how many turned up?
We only saw a green E36 compact (Rhys?) and a silver E30 (Mike?) at Bylands, and Howards' car at Whitby.

Yep, that was me - parked next to a big siver 5 with wheels with dishes big enough for my hamster to run in, very nice

Well Chris, there was Big Cal, Big Al and Big Mick - you can't get bigger than that.......
Ryhs, I wouldn't let furry animals near Cal's car - he'll eat them alive

The pic's a bit out of focus as I took it through my bins

the big 5 was mine
glad you liked the wheels. enjoyed the day. Drove on all kinds of roads....... i think they were roads? Pity we didn't see anyone although travelled down the A19 at a sedate pace......According to Mike it was! (darkhorse that man). Gave the new suspension a good testing and rattled some village windows in Whitby with the new exhaust...Loud pipes save lives!!!

No idea how many, it wasn't meant as a convoy - more as a leasurly drive in your own time. If anyone wanted to stop off anywhere on the way they could. Some nice country roads on the run, nicely thought out by Howard - I'll send you a copy if you want.
ta for the compliment
