It was quite warm, sitting in Howards Cafe in Stokesley, as we did our usual job of signing on the entrants for this annual run. This year it was a bit different with this start in Stokesley and another at Bamburgh Castle, both finishing on the Palace Green in Durham. We were expecting 33 at Stokesley but by the time we were relieved of our post there were only 30 signed on. Two had phoned to say they weren't coming. I don't know what happened to the other.
In glorious sunshine we were the first car flagged away at 10 o clock, the same time as the first car from Banburgh.

The run was a great 87 miles, taking us through some lovely villages & towns and a good mix of super driving roads. The glorious weather helped quite a bit too.
Once again my inability to manage modern technology meant that there wasn't as much video as I would have liked.

We took our time and enjoyed ourselves, choosing to stop en route for sandwiches, rather than use the planned lunch stop. The scenery was a bit better.
We arrived on the Palace Green to join the other cars in this beautiful space. The historic architecture made a great backdrop.
After a cuppa, a cream scone and some serious chinwagging, it was finally time to say goodbye and head for home.
