COVID-19 update We have had to postpone this drive, we will organise another date once we are able to, these small businesses will be facing severe hardship following the impact of the virus and will need our support when we come out the other side.
Obviously until the recent decision by the government that all cafes' bars, restaurants and pubs must close is reversed, this plan will not be viable.
Join us for breakfast at the Balloon Tree café followed by, a scenic drive to the "Spirit of Yorkshire” where you will have an option to take a tour of the Whiskey distillery located near Hunmanby before continuing our drive to return to the Talbot Hotel in Malton, also the destination on previous Wolds Wanders.
