    An addition to the route from last year is the All Creatures Great & Small ford. Hopefully it'll be as shallow as this pic from Google maps.

    Well that was quite a day. I got to Tesco and Bill and Mike were already there, but in 1 car rather than a car each. There had been other cancellations so it was already looking like a select few cars. Don and Pam arrived in their lovely red original mk1 for their first ever run with the club. I was surprised that Martin hadn't turned up, particularly as he'd joined me on the practice run a couple of weeks ago. I rang him and he'd got the date wrong, thinking the run was next week! So it was just the 3 cars that headed up to Grassington.
    We couldn't go into the car park as there was a 1940's festival in town. The Marshall allowed us in for a few minutes and I took some pics.




    Then I got a text from Martin saying he'd meet us at Grassington. 5 minutes later he was there! We were up to 4 cars!!

    We set off and the first section was rather slow due to traffic, but after our first stop we had some good clear sections so could press on a bit.

    Stopped for some pictures on the 'Graham Loop'.


    Then it was up into the hills and down to the ford...

    Martin tried to soak me!


    Down to Reeth where we stopped for lunch and a couple of passing lads were impressed to see 4 'Porsches' lined up!


    We were then surprised to see a silver & white mk1 drive past. He turned round and joined us. His car was very familiar looking....


    Alan, the driver stopped for a good chat. Were we about to go up to 5 cars? Why was Alan's car so familiar? Unfortunately Alan had to get home and was just passing through Reeth, so we were back to 4. His car was familiar to anyone with this book:


    Overall, a very enjoyable day. The weather was great, although it chucked it down on my way home. I'm so glad that Don & Pam came along. I think the pace took them by surprise at first, but Don tells me he enjoyed it. I hope to see you on more runs next year.

    Those who dropped out all missed a cracker!

    Sorry not to make it today. I had to spend my day at my desk. I don't normally work my day off but today it was important For a number of reasons but I am really sorry I missed the fun. Good to see you found the water splash! It is the one that featured in the opening titles of "All Creatures Great and Small" which those of us older than Martin will remember!

    No worries Graham. It's a shame you couldn't make it. Thanks for the info on how to add a bit more fun to the route!
