Yesterday was chessermans day off so we had a run through the Yorkshire Dales to RPM at Knaresborough for me to check out a Boxter.Unfortunately it had just been sold and after a look around the rest of the Porsches we headed via Pateley Bridge,Hawes and Buttertubs Pass.The roads were pretty clear untill Buttertubs where Craig in the lead met his new best friends and kept stopping to chat !!!sheep.
The temperature was in the 20s all day and we really felt sad for you all at work.From Tan Hill to Brough and onto the National route to Middleton Teesdale chippy,Stanhope and home.
Over 200 glorious miles and wondering if a boxter is worth the extra cash.
I hope that Craigs National run gets the same fantastic weather and car free roads.

Thanks for feeling sad for me. South West Trains is not having its finest week and I've been in the office from 09:00 to 18:30. Had the benefit of driving back from the station in twilight with the roof down however.
Not quite the day you guys had! Very jealous, as I always am of you.
