With The TA still not finished we took the BGT to meet up with six other cars at Middlesbrough Motor Club car park for a run to Gennel Farm for some fun and good food.
We set off ahead of everybody else so I could find somewhere to get some video of the other cars and found the ideal spot at the top of Carlton Bank. Then it was catch up time as we headed towards Helmesley and onward to Beadnall Farm Shop where we stopped for refreshments. Well we had been driving for almost an hour.
From there it was on past Castle Howard and along some lovely lanes to our destination. It was quite warm in the GT, even with the sunroof fully open and the windows down so it was a relief to see a gazebo in the field for a bit of shade. There was also a bit of breeze to keep the temperature down.
We had time to wander around the barn to see the various cars stored there. One that stood out was a Frogeye Sprite with a V8 squeezed in. Unsurprisingly it was reported to be a bit of a handful to drive.

The barbeque was fired up and superb food was quickly demolished and entertainment followed in the form of TVMGOC's resident ukelele trio.
All too soon it was time for us to go and we had a pleasant drive home.
A great day out. Thanks to all who made it possible.
