Re: 2012 national event - North Yorkshire - 1st and 2nd Sept
Hi all.
Tomorrow, Mrs mchudd and i will be travelling on the ferry to England.
We are visiting family in Harrogate. Acording to the map, this Wetherby place is
only about 10 miles from there. Does anyone know exactly where the services are
for meeting up at 12.00 noon on Saturday?
Cheers Mark.

Re: 2012 national event - North Yorkshire - 1st and 2nd Sept
Bump. Getting excited now!
Everything is booked! I have 16 places for fish and chips, and 9 for pub on the Sunday. Both are happy for a little wiggle-room (2-3 up or down).
Accommodation-wise, I've booked a double B&B room for Mark (£70 incl breakfast), a triple room for myself, Chris and Rupert (£90 incl breakfast), plus 6 tent pitches and John (filthy) can sleep in his car. Site fees are £12.50 for the car and small tents, and £20 for large tents. Breakfast is available for campers (book the night before) for £8 or so.
cheers
James

Update...it's tomorrow! Looking forward to it!
Remember, meet at Wetherby Services (http://goo.gl/maps/B8kGy) if you're a southerner, and Scotch Corner Services (http://goo.gl/maps/AkKRP) if you're a northerner at midday, ready to depart 20 and 10 minutes later respectively, to all re-group at Sutton Bank National Park Centre (http://goo.gl/maps/2op2q) at 1pm.
The rest we'll figure out along the way!

Re: 2012 national event - North Yorkshire - 1st and 2nd Sept
One final note - please can as many of you as possible study the route (http://goo.gl/maps/9eJja - updated with a few slight tweaks, like the correct destination in Lythe) and program your brains / satnavs accordingly. I have printed 10 hard copies of the instructions (and will have a PDF copy on my phone which I can email to those with smartphones), but I'm relying on a reasonable number of you to look after yourselves!
We'll need to come up with a plan regarding parking for Saturday Dinner, as there isn't any available outside the restaurant. I suspect we'll put everyone into 2-4 cars, then do a drop off outside. The drivers will then park up a little way away, and have a 5 minute walk to the restaurant. We'll sort out the detail once we get to the campsite.
cheers
