Porscha! · 10-09-2008, 02:30 AM

I was probaly going to come to this but it's a bit far, then a long run, the run home and on the Sunday I have an MG meet and drive so it'll be a no show from me!

Have lots of fun everyone!

if you want a shortish but interesting drive on the Sunday before heading home, this http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&sa...,0.439453&z=11

is a nice scenic local route, taking in some typical Yorkshire scenery. Or extend it to Bolton Abbey. There are some great driving roads around that area.

I could be tempted to meet up on Saturday evening in Harrogate if people are making a night of it. We're 20ish miles away, but maybe I could persuade my wife to drive so I can get a few beers in.

One or two were already booked for that weekend though.

Some nice 4 star ones as well - they were the first ones I looked at funningly enough.

Convenient for town and has free onsite parking. We stayed at a Premier Inn in Durham the other weekend and it was definitely better than many 'budget' hotels

Also Holiday Inn

Seems daft staying over but if we are in Harrogate and a few are staying, I may be tempted! Is it the Premier Inn?

willhollin · 10-11-2008, 11:13 AM

Here I think Paul. Carlos was going to phone up and negotiate.
