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.

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?

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.
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?Originally Posted by David J
Next year, surely?
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...
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..
