Northern Run 2025 - 5th/6th September, Shap Wells Hotel

I am interested in joining this - as a newbie I am hoping my car will be ready by then! What's the running order of the couple of days?

Yo Matt, it's dead simple. Rock up on Friday, eat/drink/talk rubbish, then bed. Go on the run Sat (or don't, it's all up to you) and then back at Shap, it's a repeat of Friday eve Sunday, bugger off home.

Forgot to say in my introductory post that you can come in whatever car you fancy, doesn't have to be a Strat. I won't be in one! As for the run, although there's a route with directions, you don't have to go on it, or if you do, you can divert if you like, and you do it all at your own pace - it's not a procession, although you could well bump into fellow attendees here and there. Still sound alright, or all a bit scary?

Well I've just remembered to book meself in as well.....seemed like a good idea! Also got a few mates coming so that's 4 cars and therefore 8 people in total so far. Hope we get a few more participants but early days yet - 5 months off!

I have taken the plunge into the Shap Wells invigorating waters, and made a booking to join the happy band in September. !!!!!!

Great stuff Robin! I'm not planning on a mega-mile extravaganza, and in fact a lot of the route will be familiar to seasoned attendees... But there'll also be a couple of stops en route for the purpose leg-stretching and partaking of refreshment

Anybody else fancy giving it a go?

Well, 3 weeks ro go, and not a massive response. There's a few who've told me they can't make it this time - so thanks for letting me know - and fortunately some non-club pals are coming along so it's not so bad, number-wise. There could well be as many Porsches as there are Strats.....

Anyhoo, here's the directions for the route, which as promised isn't a marathon effort and has a couple of stops, including a visit to a bike museum, if that floats yer boat (or balances yer wheels, more appropriately).
