Drive out Sunday 8th January 2012

[Gavin.]

Balls, I fancied a drive out but im working

 

[noddy1]

i'm up for this then i can start putting faces to names and so on

 

[RSteve]

I've managed to free up the day so I should be good for this! Where we meeting?

 

[Ad Mayo]

Hopefully be attending this

 

[Harpham]

Working

 

[jenic]

Shall we meet at Colton by mcdonalds then?

Say 10:30

 

[RSteve]

Fine by me, live 30secs away

 

[leeds_182]

Colton is fine by me. Does anyone know a good route to the coast? The only one I know is the official 'scenic' route to brid!

 

[Ad Mayo]

Probably best route unless you go to york and take the malton to scarborough road

 

[RSteve]

As above, A64 then the 'scenic' Scarborough road is the only one I've been along, albeit stuck in traffic mostly due to being summer. That route at this time of year would be a lot quieter, never been on the 'official' scenic route tho!

Both routes are good.

I think we should go the scenic one of Jim doesn't mind leading. Its the one my dad used to use whenever we went up to the coast but if you get stuck behind someone it can be difficult to overtake. Shouldn't be as much of a problem atm like you say though.

 

[leeds_182]

The way I always go goes down the a166 through Stanford bridge and then left at that motorbike cafe on to that scenic route. If anyones got a better route and is willing to lead it's fine by me!

 

[andywa]

I'll have to check the old bank balance but should be fine. Need to be watchfull of the mobile speed van. Although everyone will be taking it steady you never know it doesn't take much.

 

[danh90]

Anyone coming from Sheffield?

 

[leeds_182]

The post code for the meeting place is ls15 9jb.

Forget the name of the road but it goes from Pickering to Whitby, thats pretty good. Also there is a side road to Goathland. That is a good scenic route with a few hairpins and bends thrown in.

Jenic, how come you have gone from Megane to a Trophy mate?

I'm easy tbh, whichever ways people want to go on the day is good with me.

Just swapped as it was cheaper (to buy and run) and they are more fun to drive tbh.

Are babys allowed? I can't shake the 6 month old. More need that a teenager on facebook.

This road goes through Sleights and joins the Middlesbrough to Whitby road about 1 mile from Whitby. It is a very challenging route.

its a good route that if we don't get stuck behind coffin dodgers but plenty of overtaking spots along there i'm looking forward to it .

 

[Simon7929]

There is another road that runs parallel with this one which is just as good. It joins the same two roads as i mentioned earlier. It leaves the Pickering road at Kirkby Moorside and climbs very high up eventually ending its decent 15 miles West of Whitby. There is also a real food pub half way along the road. The North East section are planning a meet on Feb 26th along this road if anyone fancys it. I have advertised this meet in the North East section and it is advertised on 197.net so hoping for a decent turnout.

 

[Johnpacey1]

Im up for going anywhere to be honest. We could always go one way and come home a different way. As long as we stop for food once an hour i'm happy.

if you know some nice routes would you be happy to leas then mate?

 

[Donny_Dog]

Is the original convoy starting at Colton sainsburys or the mcdonalds bit on the other side?
I'm scared about meeting you weirdos.

Me too. Sainsburys car park will probably be quieter at that time I'd have thought.

 

[Johnpacey1]

I dont mind leading for that bit mate but i don't want to be the bloke that makes everyone follow him. If someone knows a better way i will follow them. Plus i will get lost.

 

[RSteve]

Are you sure? Colton on a Sunday is MENTAL. It'll probably start to get busy around 11, although McD's is such a small carpark it'll probably be best to meet in the larger Sainsbury's carpark.

 

[noddy1]

any of the selby lot want to meet and drive to colton together ?

Good call. I'm up for that + I'm scared.

 

[Donny_Dog]

[noddy1]

[Donny_Dog]

[noddy1]

[jenic]

[Donny_Dog]

Metting at Colton (McDonalds side) at 10:30am

LS15 9JH

You might have been saying McDonalds side all along but it appears Jim is 'metting' there too - which is Selby for Dogging.

So we should all meet at Sainsburys side, until he's finished.









10.30 at McD's it is.

Selby crew meet at 10:11 @ Windmill, wishing well, whatever?
