What a super day this was. A relaxed start to the day saw us taking the short run down the A19 to Roots Farm Shop to meet up with old & new friends.
This would be the longest run old Numbum had done since I changed the head gasket so there was a little bit of doubt as to how the day would go. Fortunately it was OK.
The club gazebo was set up with the tombola & raffle and we won four prizes on the tombola. Not a bad start to the day.
It was quite a good entry, 43 cars, I think from all over the area. The car park was quite full.
It was good weather for top down driving as we set off on this well planned route to the upper reaches of the river Tees. Some of the roads were best described as interesting, and at times it was quite a challenge, but great fun.
At one point we thought we were in for a soaking as the clouds rolled across the hilltop and a heavy shower passed over us. It didn't last long thankfully.
For quite a bit of the route we didn't see another car from out group, which is just how I like it. We rolled along at our own pace and stopped for refreshments when we pleased.
Back at Roots, it was time for some good conversation before setting off for the long 15 minute journey home and arrived back after covering 120 fun filled miles.
A big thank you to all who made it happen.
