In these dark, virus ridden times, we all need something to look forward to and the 2021 Yorkshire Moors and Wolds Tour sprang to mind! Gisborough Hall Hotel confirmed that 10 rooms have already been booked and that another five are available in addition should anyone else wish to join us on the weekend of 4th-6th June. See original post for contact details. The glorious weekend in Tynemouth seems such a long time ago..
David
The Gisborough Gig may well be 8 months off, but the Tynemouth Trip was 2 months ago already, so the time will fly by quicker than you think! Looking forward to it! And of course I'll be sorting out another Northern Run for August :)
David, like Norm, looking forward to it, let's just hope that the prophesies of some of the doom mongers, that we could still be in the current position re Covid in July next year, do not come to pass.
I have been in contact with Gisborough Hall Hotel and everything is good to go in June barring any change in the current restrictions.
10 rooms have been booked so far. However, they still have some availability left. Better get in quick if you fancy a 150 mile drive through the glorious scenery of the North Yorkshire Moors and Wolds and a weekend of fun and merriment. According to the media Hotels are booking up fast.
All the booking details are in my original post.
David
Fandabbiedozie - great news! Looking forward to this :)
Maybe I'd better get my finger out and see about booking the hotel for the Northern Run in August sooner rather than later!
Hi David.... just confirming Helen and I will be there.... in something with 4 wheels !!
It's a Morrison's supermarket trolley, isn't it. Again.
David, confirming we shall be there, and looking forward to seeing everybody, and especially Phil driving a Supermarket Trolley with Helen in the passenger seat.!!!
Sara and I will also be there! Looking forward to it!

Can believe that about Robin & Carol tho...probably call in at Harrods as well while they're in the area, just to blow a coupla mill.
BO**OCKS !!.... got me Norm !... lacking attention to detail again !...Quote:

Rosedale Chimney Bank !! We are going down it on the run hold on to those brakes!!!
David, can you make sure you send the Rosedale Chimney Sweeps down before us so we don't all get covered in soot :)
Have booked with the hotel, looking forward to a run out:)
That’s great Dave, the route covers about 190 miles with a mixture of the Moors and Wolds scenic roads.
David
A round trip of 600 miles plus then, that should blow the cobwebs out:D
I have recently been in touch with Gisborough Hall Hotel and everything is good to go. They have requested that we pre-order our menu choices- all 3 courses for both Friday and Saturday nights.
(Hopefully)! I have attached two Menus, one of them is vegan.
Please could you get back to me with your selections by 28th May via the forum or PM.
The count down has started.........

Pat and I are calling into the Hotel next Monday to run through the weekends arrangements.
In the mean time I have attached the route details in two different formats turn by turn route description and tulip type road books in A5 and A4 size. A big thank you to Mark Eaton for configuring these. I have tried to download the gpx file (without success) Could someone possibly come to my rescue on this one.
Apparently this file will enable you to download the tulip road books on to some SAT NAV systems but not all.
Finally a quick reminder for your menu choices (see my previous post) for Friday and Saturday nights. Please PM me with your choices.

Thanks for the route instructions - got them all and they open fine. Good though they are, I fear they'll be as much use as a bog roll (actually, maybe less) to Leah, so I may well revert to Option 5, - follow someone else :)
Don't think you'll be able to add a GPX file to this thread. The site only accepts certain file types, and that's not one of 'em... you'd have to email it out as an attachment, if you had everyone's email addy - think that's what I ended up doing last year.
See ya at Phil's on Saturday!
A little birdy phoned me last night to pass a message on from David J, reminding me to submit my meal choices. The Little Bird didn't tell me that he'd dressed up for the day so he could match his car... evidence pic included below. Personally I think he'd have suited blue tights...
Attachment 18210
Meal choices:
Friday
-Soup of the day, Chicken and Chorizo terrine
-Chicken Ballotine, Rump steak (medium)
-Crème brulee, cheese and biscuits
Saturday
-Prawn cocktail, soup of the day
-Rump steak (medium), Mediterranean veg and olive Strudel
-Dark chocolate and orange tart, sticky toffee pudding
Looking forward to this very much - hoping to be able to prise the Strat out of the workshop this week and make sure all's well - it's currently blocked in by a part built, gearbox-less Healey, so some shuffling around will be required!
Richard, you prob won't be able to get the Stratos out, due to all four tyres being slashed overnight....sharp beaks those birdies have ��
I think you'll find that little bird is 'Big Bird'...:rolleyes:Quote:

Anyone requiring fuel, this is available by turning right out of the Hotel heading for Guisborough the garage is about a mile away. Go straight on at the two sets of traffic lights you pass Aldi and Sainsbury’s to your left. Look out for the Lidl supermarket sign. The petrol station is just before Lidl on the left.

Cheers David... see you tomorrow evening..... 1 Glass of Rioja and 1 Gin and Tonic please (just thought you would be first at the bar !)......
Norm usually has a Orange juice.
Indeed. You don't want to see me when I'm intoxicated. I might talk rubbish.
Wish I could make it, have a brilliant time everyone.
Cheers Tim, but don't be jealous - it'll be rubbish.
....no it won't, it'll be fab, so make sure you come next year!!
Hi all, we are here already, and don’t want to do the run tomorrow, just stay at the hotel, and take in the ambiance!!! David you are a star.
Some photos from this morning's coffee stop at Yorkshire Lavender, overlooking the Vale of York, and very close to home, for me.
We had a whole Tepee reserved.
Looks like a great run weather looks good as well
The Outlander made it home !.....Thanks for your help Chris !... Bon Appetite !... also ta for the Fiat Decal
I ought to say, I did get more than just the doggy bag.Quote:

I was supposed to be in the passenger seat of a SAAB 96 for the weekend, but rocker shaft problems put paid to that.
Otherwise I'd have been doing the run, and not just meeting up at the morning coffee venue.
Too good for us??? Well yeah, of course it was, but then, anywhere with a room you can sleep in is probably too good for us :) :)
Got back home mid-afternoon today after an ace weekend, and a great route from David and Pat. Amazingly we even managed to follow it as far as the lunch stop at Sledmere due to a herculean effort at reading the tulips by Leah, and only wrong-slotted a couple of times....one of which was the Yorkshire Lavender coffee stop, hence not being on Chris' photos! After the lunch/early-p.m. stop we decided to head back to the hotel as Herself was developing a headache and I didn't want it spreading to me by insisting we stay on track, but we did the Blakey Ridge road and had a fun drive "making progress" amongst the grockles.
Lots of laughs and a good time had by all - well, except for Phil and Helen, who had to retire early due to gearbox troubles. In true Top Gear style most peeps just blithely passed them by at the side of the road, thinking they'd stopped for a breather....anyway, as I said later, men of a certain age often have problems losing their drive ;) Sorry Phil!!
Big thanks to Pat and David for organising, and also to all who came along, and hopefully there'll be some more pix soon from those blessed with cameras who can actually take decent shots. 4 Strats took part - the ListerBells of Richard, Dave and Carol & Robin, and of course David's Allora.
Next club gig will be Silverstone, so keep an eye on the forum thread for that one, and then in early August it'll be the Northern Run up to Kielder and beyond. And yes, the hotel will be suitably cheesy :)
David & Pat, thanks for organising another great weekend. Super route through the fabulous North Yorkshire countryside, and what a super hotel to stay and recharge at.
Robin & Carol.
David forwarded these photos to me (from outside the start/finish hotel):
Sorry for the late reply, just wanted to thank David and Pat once again for organising a fantastic weekend. Fantastic company, a cracking route and good weather to boot!
Afraid I didn't take many pics other than the following - they're mostly a bit samey I'm afraid!
