The MGB GT was the chariot of choice for this annual run which seems to get better every year. It was a relaxed start to the day as the clubhouse is only 15 minutes drive away and we didn't have to be there till 10am.
We arrived and signed on and had time for coffee & biscuits and some good crack before setting off.
The route took in some super roads traveling south and skirting Stokesley, Swainby, Osmotherley and Hawnby to a halfway coffee stop at the Yorkshire Gliding Club.
After a pleasant half hour it was time to move on and once again there were some good roads passing through Sutton under Whitestonecliffe, Kirby Knowle, Northallerton, Appleton Wiske, and Yarm before heading back to the clubhouse for a BBQ having covered just short of 80 miles.
We stopped on the way back to get some video of some of the other entrants but only a couple went past us. The rest must have got lost.
It was a lovely afternoon in the gardens as they are a sun trap for the afternoon sun. A good BBQ and some good conversation rounded off a great day.
Good cars, super roads, food and great friends. It doesn't get much better.
