Saturday morning looked
wet, cold and miserable. But the bulk of entrants turned up for the start
and a fine bunch of men, women and machines showed promise of a good day to
come. Off we set, going through some lovely villages with the weather
getting better and better as the morning wore on, though some of the roads
were very dirty off the beaten track.

The sun came out with the view over
Whitby from the top of Blue Bank out across the North sea was spectacular.
In Whitby though, the wind off the sea had a biting edge to it. Still, I
suppose it was late Sepetember. Gordon and Charlie took care of parking the
lads up at West Cliff Park and entrants stood around talking to spectators
or went off to explore what Whitby had to offer – plenty of fish and chips
anyway! After about three hours we
left fior Scarborough, still with sunshine heading for the Royal Albert
Drive and Marine Drive to the south beach seafront – a pleasant ride but
slow going as Scarborough was packed with people and cars. The Bradley
Court Hotel were our hosts for the night, plenty of talking, eating and
drinking finished off a great day.

Sunday morning came with a
good sea fret: Olivers Mount was invisible. In fact it was even misty in
the car park. However, this soon cleared and left us with a lovely day over
the Yorkshire Wolds and on into York for the show – quite a site to see! We
had entrants from as far south as Weymouth in Dorset, all over England and
Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Outer Hebrides and Shetland. Well done and
many thanks to all for coming. It was a pleasure to see you.
Happy motoring
