MG Club run Sunday 3rd April

Just love the 1st part of that route to Yarm,that is my stamping ground, can 1 go 1st
only thing to take easy is the crossing of the A66,should be O.K on a Sunday, but both the slip road off/and back on (to turn right) to Longnewton are "Short" and close together, just make sure when you pull out on to the 66 you have a space to go straight over to the slip road on the right
AndyS did but this in bold letters, but just to let anyone Know if they do get it wrong, carry along to the 1st slip road and either double back on yourself or follow the signs to Yarm

You can tell me how you reached "adulthood" on Sunday

Alas.

It's a YES.  See you on Sunday morning!!!!!

Yippee!  I'll bring a digital camera to get a few pics and post them up on here afterwards.

I should add that I haven't been to Bowburn services before so may get lost....(particularly as I still think the BMW SatNav is crap).

Who will be there from here, i.e. actually starting off from Bowburn?

Keep an eye out for me arriving because I haven't met any of you before and I don't want a bunch of MG owners wondering who the strange bloke in the yellow M3 is and just ignoring me!

Hi Coasting,

I am setting off from Bowburn. Just look out for the Black Convertible. It will be nice to meet you. If its warm we might be able to go topless

Newsflash !

Thought this was organised by the MG owners club but see below:-

"Hello and welcome to the first club run organised by Durham Thoroughbred Wheels.  The club was formed in 2004 to allow people in the area with a wide variety of vehicles to join in events together, rather than be separated just because of their choice of vehicle.  Everyone is welcome at our events as long as you drive something a bit different from the norm, if you check out the club website (www.dtw.cjb.net) you will get some idea of what we mean!

 

We hope you enjoy the day as there are a variety of roads included and some interesting villages and towns on the route. The route is timed to get you to Helmsley for lunchtime and there are a number of places to eat if you want, or picnic areas next to the castle if you have brought your own.  Feel free to stop wherever you want as the whole idea is for a relaxed day to do as you please before eventually ending up in Whitby.

If you are interested in attending any of our future events keep an eye on the website and contact our webwomble if you need to give details (these will be needed for some car shows where numbers are required in advance)."

The guy organising the event is an MG club member too (& a Triumph bike owner too - a real petrolhead).  Expect he'll bring his blue MGB GT - watch out! its got a semi competition V8 in it

Hopefully we can get a few outings this year with them.

Save me a copy, I'll meet up in Helmsley

Grahame/Mark, give us a ring/text if you get there first, might go early and have a look round the castle, haven't been there before so will have to find it first

I've checked that site out and other than a few new MG ZR/S/T's all seems not too bad....

They do actually say that they draw the line at anything "Max Power-ish" at which point they may start to laugh.  Phew.

How long do you think it'll take to get from say Gosforth to Bowburn Services?

Printed it out at work,
will photo copy it a few time's and bring them with me

Chris, 26mins was the same timing I was given by Autoroute from Quayside so I won't be far behind you!

Unfortunately I have to do some work in the afternoon so I'm only going to be able to do the first leg of the run  Rhys we'll give you a call when we get there....

I'll see you all tomorrow

Cheers
