2021Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 4th & 5th June
Next summer will be here before we know it..
The Hotel we have selected for the 2020 tour is Gisborough Hall ( the ancestral pile of Lord Gisborough ). It sits just on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors but is actually in Cleveland!
A block of rooms in the Woodland Wing for Friday and Saturday nights has been reserved for us and we have our own private car park. The rate for dinner bed and breakfast is £150 per room per night, based on two sharing a Classic Kingsize Bedroom. This can be configured as a twin if required.
To confirm your booking telephone 01287 611500 and quote JOWSEY, a £50 deposit per room will be required at the time of booking.
Pat and I have already booked ours and are looking forward to a weekend of fun, fabulous scenery and great driving.
Anybody wanting to join us just for the drive on Saturday is very welcome.
We have put in an order to the weather gods for a dry weekend!!!!!

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June

None are club members, but you've met them before on the August runs. I've already warned them not to follow me unless they fancy some sort of breakaway route :)

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June
They are most welcome, we look forward to seeing them in June.

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June
Norman, what chance of the Yellow Peril being with us in June?? I'm looking forward to the extradition process of at least one occupant!! We could always bring your food out to you on the car park.
Happy New Year.

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June
Hey Robin, HNY yerself :)
Not sure of the Banana on-the-road date. There's not a great deal left to do to it (copyright Lydia White 2019), but you know how busy LB are, so it's all a bit fluid. Having said that, yeah, it'd be great to take it on the trip, but you might well be disappointed by my Stratos self-extraction abilities (or lack thereof) as I'm specifying the new, jointly-Norm-and-LB-designed personal shoehorn (we were gonna call it a carhorn, but somebody'd already thought of that). However, regardless of the success or otherwise of this wondrous accessory, you're more than welcome to wait on me hand and foot for the duration of the event :)
John, you really should come along, not least cos it'd be good to give everybody someone else to laugh at and take some of the pressure off me. :-P

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June
It was a dark wet afternoon in Yorkshire, so Pat and I headed over to Gisborough Hall Hotel for coffee.
We were greeted by roaring fires comfy sofas and friendly helpful staff. A real oasis !.
The Yorkshire run in June will be upon us before we know it. If you have not already done so, just a reminder to call reception on 01287 611500 to reserve your room and pay your deposit to secure your booking.

I've just had a look David.
That's some venue!

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June
We even get some allotted car parking space adjacent to the Woodland Wing.

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June
But Chris, where would you find such a vehicle...and who would be tasteless enough to own it??? (ahem.)

With that colour scheme, the local fuzz may think is one of theirs. Alo, Alo, Alo.!!!

Ooh, I can't think?
Anyhow, it might not go with the Jacobean Revival architecture.

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June
Hotels are currently closed due to the dreaded pandemic up until July at the earliest. I have been in touch with Gisborough Hall Hotel regarding alternative dates for our bookings. There are two options available for the tour, move our weekend to the end of September or early to mid October 2020. The only fear I have here is there could be a second spike of infection and lockdown returns.
The second option is to forget about this year and move the tour into June 2021. The price will remain the same.
I should be pleased to hear from everyone who has booked what their preferred option would be ?

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June
Well there's a bit of synchronicity - was only thinking about this yesterday and thinking it most likely wouldn't be happening in June. I've also been giving the Northern Run some thought too, with similar conclusions/alternatives to those just mentioned by David. So for what it's worth, here are my thoughts...
Moving the run to September or October is fine in principle, although you have to also consider the weather and the shortening days. September's OK - goes dark about half 7 in the middle of the month - but October can be a bit tricky as it can get very autumnal and it's then dark at half 6. Doesn't mean we can't still have a fun time, just that it's not at all summery. I personally don't have a preference, so I'll go with the majority verdict, and if it ends up being next year, so be it.
As for the Northern Run in August (and I'll be posting this on that thread too), I'm currently leaving it alone till it becomes clearer as to what the virus/lockdown scenario is. Anything could happen in the next 3 months, but my Plan B is to move it to September 12th (assuming the hotel has free rooms - that particular date is one where the Lindisfarne tide times are in our favour). I'm not contemplating moving it to October as I think it's getting a bit too late in the year, and the route is better appreciated in the summer months. But for now, it stays as is, along with the crossing of many fingers :)

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June
I just moved my Fulvia weekend in East Anglia from the end of September 2020 to 24-26 September 2021. This is still provisional. The hotel I am using is currently closed (it is small with only 23 rooms and only employee working is the manager) and they do not know when they can entertain groups (buffets are out....). Anyway they were happy to do this.

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June
Right,...
So can I get mine up and running for next June?

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June
David, we would prefer late September, but if that is not to be, then the dates you have suggested for next year, hoping I can still get in, and out.!!!

Hi David ........... we will "go with the flow"

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June
Due to the current never ending saga of the Coronavirus, I have agreed with the Hotel to transfer our block reservations to the 4th & 5th June 2021. Hopefully by then everything will be back to normal. I decided not to take the chance on September this year as the only date offer by the Hotel was the 25 September.
This date would be too close to Norm’s drive if he has to move to the weekend of 12 September.

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June
Everything is still so uncertain David.
Probably a good move.
You never know, you might get another entry or two by then.
What do you say Norm?

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June
It's all up in the air at the mo, John. I'm still hoping we'll be able to do the Northern run in August, as long as restrictions get lifted appropriately. It's looking like caffs and restaurants could be open by then, but dunno about hotels...altho if you think about it, everyone's in separate rooms, aren't they? (unless there's partner-swapping, obviously ;) )
Then again, it also depends on people acting sensibly, and others not abusing their powers - there was a news item about a group of supercar owners being turned away from the Lake District on Saturday, and escorted to the motorway. Would someone explain to me what legal basis the police used to do that?? I thought people were now free to travel unlimited distances for leisure?? So what if you had 10 cars travelling on the roads there, so long as the occupants didn't get out and mingle with the locals close up?? I can feel another Chairman's Rant coming on....!
So even if we're theoretically OK to go, there's the attitude of the locals to consider...let's see how it's looking in early July.

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June
By the look of the weather map this weekend ( p*ssing down on Saturday) the tour would have been a washout, a bit like Norm’s last year. Roll on June 2021.

After weeks and weeks of dry weather too David?
Next year, surely?

Re: 2020 Tour de Yorkshire Moors & Wolds 5th & 6th June
Real shame we didn't get to do the deed this weekend. Typical the weather should change after all that sun and heat but it's about more than that, innit - it's always a great craic in the hotel before and after. Yeah, next year...
