Think I might be the only one attending from 'up North' but if anyone fancies tagging along for a run through the Dales let me know.

Leaving home (Scotch Corner Area) around 9.00 am and heading south on the A1 to J50, then A61 to Ripon. From Ripon I'll be taking the B6265 to Pately Bridge, Grassington and onto Gargrave.

Journey time is about 1hr 40 min

Eeeerrrr slight spanner in the works , , , phoned them with numbers & they want us to arrive 10am 10-15am at the latest so i politely told them we would take ourselves elsewhere
I know 2 decent alternatives for the Lancs crew but its further away for our Yorkshire lad Gareth (GJC72 )

Ignore. Just seen you've sent a PM

Alas in Wales seeing the wife's friends- took the x5 so won't be able to tie up meeting on our journey home. Next time Andy!

Just been out with the dogs here and it's a hard frost and foggy. I don't fancy these conditions so I am going to err on the side of caution and give this one a miss. See you next time. Take care please fellas.

Yea a frosty one , will go easy & if it is remotely unsafe then a change of plan will be had

Pics (and video) from today.

A wonderful drive over the tops with some spectacular scenery - with the exception of a couple of 'twitchy' moments

it was very enjoyable.

As always a big thank you to Mr Wilks for organising and switching to plan B last minute

Yep a tentative navigation over the tops & through the Trough , at times not for the faint of heart

Always enjoyable though & with temps not breaking 1deg the cafe was very welcome after 2 hours
Thanks to those who made it out , shows those southern chaps who's car,s are SORN that Zs can operate in all months

Gutted I couldn't come - I could have even helped mend those faulty E89 roof's! Must be faulty, as they weren't down!!!!
