some good ideas, as both Kerry and me are members of the national trust and english heritage, we'd get in most places for free (plus can get in so many youngsters with our family ticket, save a few quid for others bringing nephews etc.)
Fountains is lovely, as are the other abbeys around (except Rosedale, which is just one stone somewhere..)
There was a meet at Newby Hall a while ago, there may be some pics etc. from it
Did a run round Hawes and buttertubs, masham etc. a few weeks ago, it was great driving and lovely scenery. Aysgarth Falls has a picnic area.

What a great day, Liam, my nephew loved it, and thanks Chris for taking him for a short spin, he talked about it all the way back to Darlington 
Can't wait for the next one, and it looks like Liam will be with me again
I don't know, the bbq sounds good, but yeah it would eat up a lot of drive time.
O for the record, Chris, I enjoyed the first bit of the drive, the pace was great!!  But I do understand were Andy is coming from.

Brimham Rocks is good....but Pately Bridge and Fountains Abbey are better.
Pately has some great roads around it and the run down into the village is a super test of anyones brakes at speed.
The BBQ idea isn't bad but it'd use up a lot of drivetime wouldn't it?
We could just pre-decide on somewhere to eat perhaps.
I like Andy's idea of a proper picnic though. Tables, seats et al, and a nice location like Fountains Abbey would be stunning on a hot day.
Let me throw in a few more locations for routes in the vicinity of them:
- Skipton
- Hawes
- Ripley Castle
- Newby Hall & Gardens
- Harewood House
- Castle Howard
- Bolton Priory/Bolton Castle
- Nunnington Hall
- Raby Castle
Plenty for people to think about there.

Hmm, could find somewhere to set up a bar-b? Couple of big dissposable ones should do it.
I miss not having one, since I dont have a garden where i am at the moment.
Only problem is seeking owners permission, be it a field or nat trust etc.
Malham cove would be nice, haven't been to Brimham rocks yet. Will have to look at the map, see what lies between us.

I had it in Mode 3 of 6 (six being the most aggressive)...and I didn't hit the Sports button once! (Except for the brief spurt over the Dam with Dave's young passenger who seemed to enjoy it anyway).
I didn't dare after some of the comments from earlier in the day!
I dunno....all these Sunday drivers....

The more the merrier G0ph3r. It'd be good to see as many people turn out for the next run.
I think we'll wait and see what sort of comments, thoughts and opinion are suggested on here before we canvass numbers and confirm a route/date.

It was great to meet everyone and put names to faces.
Andy sorry if i offended you about your 6 calling it a big red bus but i couldn't think of any other way to describe it. it is a superb example and a credit to you for keeping it that way. hope yu enjoyed the rest of the day as much as we did.
Defo looking forward to it again so is Sarah she enjoyed today too.
Thanks to chris for his efforts organising it even if he did show us a place or two that we didn't expect to see.

it was a fun day out
...even getting lost was a bit of fun .but not for the "corbridge locals " i did get the feeling they were not amussed by dazed and lost bmw drivers on there turf  as iam sure rhys got to hear about it for his extended stay in the village
the intiall pace of the run mite have been at the higher end of fast for some .
perhaps the pace back from keilder was a little too sedate for some ..perhaps a happy meidium of the two would have suited more of you guys .for the duration of the whole run
floody ..it was great to hear the rasp of you exhaust note when you kept knocking it down a gear for some of those excellent twisty bits [keilder roads]...it was fun been behind you just watching your rear twitch in some of the corners..put a grin on my face as my old saggy suspension knew it was going to get a lot worse and a bit of the same as i was trying to keep pace 
coasting ...excellent choice in roads keep finding them .even going to get the bikers out on that little circuit around keilder .well worth the hike .
it was great to meet all you guys and put names and faces together
