Hi everyone,

North Yorkshire Moors weekend based at Pickering.
Dates: Saturday 26th March 2011.

I have conferred with Tom and run the weekend past him.

There is a superb bed and breakfast in Pickering called 'Grindale House'.
Me and Maggie have stayed there several times. Check out their accomodation via google.
They have 6 double en-suite available.

I have provisionally booked all 6.

The b and b is extremely well presented. Apart from the lovely new rooms, there is a super lounge with complimentary
port/sherry available. Located within 1 minutes walk into the town centre.

There is private secure and secluded off road parking which is a must for our cars.

Probable itinerary:

Drive up early sat 26th. Park at Designer Centre at Fulford, A19. I know just the area to park our Porsches and have done
so many times.
Catch the park and ride bus into York for the morning/lunch.
Afternoon drive from Fulford to Malton.

Visit Specialist Cars of Malton.

Leisurely drive to Pickering.

Evening meal at a brill Indian perhaps? Spice4U is great and only 3 minutes walk away.

Sunday morning after a hearty breakfast, whatever you fancy.
Perhaps a scenic drive through Dalby Forest and a coffee at Raven Hotel at Ravenscar.

A drive to Whitby?

Cost: £37.50 per person for b and b.

Proprieter: Valerie

I have booked by leaving my credit card details(nothing taken yet).

Hi Robin
Put us down as a definite. Sounds like an interesting weekend.
Will be great start to the 'season' and something to look forward to during those cold, dark winter days.
Cheers
Tom and Kerry
 

Hi all,

Brill. So far then we have five couples for the weekend. Should be a great break away!
Don't forget to contact Valerie to confirm your booking.

Let us hope the weather is kind.

Robin
 
This sounds like fun - please count us in [:D]

Looking forward to Harrogate too now we have Blue back from Ninemeister - 311 bhp; 367 Nm torque - and a very big bill!
Still running it in but it revs very freely and I think will be a lot of fun.
 
Good morning gang

Just to give you the heads up - I have just booked our room with Valerie and there is only one left so if you haven't booked -DO IT NOW!

Hi, any chance of 2 outsiders from R7? Sounds like a good weekend to start the year. I understand numbers are limited so do I need to contact the hotel or is there 1 room spare? Thanks, John
 
Just rung Valerie and, alas, no rooms left. So unless I can find another hotel close by (which I know there are a few). ???
 


Hi John,

Just got back from two weeks holiday!

It would be lovely if you could join us. You are right there are several b and b's in Pickering and some nice Hotels.
You are more than welcome.

If you can confirm you are coming I can arrange reservations at the Indian.

Cheers

Robin
 
Hi - we're outsiders and want to tag along also. If you find a good b and b with safe car parking please would you let me know. thanks john (burnley)
 

Hi John,

The Beansheaf Hotel is located about 3 miles south of Pickering on the Malton road. B and B is around £90.
They have secure private car parking. I have stayed before and the best parking is at the rear of the Hotel away from prying eyes.
Their website is easily accessed.

Hi John and Jane,

Great news. Really pleased you have found a nearby Hotel and can join us.

I will post on here an itinerary nearer the time.
Looking forward to York, Specialist Cars of Malton, the Indian experience and a lovely drive on Sunday.
The drive, weather permitting will include following a tulip map from an earlier rally organised by the CSMA Classic Car Club I attended. It was a superb drive through the Forest of Dalby.

Kind regards
