Seven cars, including our 1971 MGB GT met at Yarm Station on a bright but chilly morning for a gentle run to Castle Howard. Geoff & Kath led us on a lovely route covering country lanes and wide open moorland.
We invaded Rosedale for a coffee break enroute and had an impromptu change of plan later as one of the roads we wanted was closed.
Finally arriving at our destination we went looking for sustenance. One look at the cafe prices (seven quid for a sandwich???) had us looking for an alternative. The takeaway was much more resonably priced and we had a toasties & cake for little more than the cafe sandwich. The only downside was eating outside but we've been cold before and will no doubt be cold again so it wasn't much of a problem.
We had a wander round the garden centre, gift shops & butchers before setting off for home by a rather roundabout route. OK we took a wrong turn or two, but we made it home after a super day out.
