I hope you can make it Ger, apparently Harrogate is all booked up hotel-wise but we'll find you somewhere :)

I'd offer you a bed but we've already got Andrea from America staying, I think you've met her? :)

And some video of last year too! :)

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9yr60nWjxDA&hl=en"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9yr60nWjxDA&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Those guard ropes on the side of the Buttertubs Pass seem awfully thin and low when you're close to them at speed and it looks a very long way down if you were to get it wrong! Amazing driving roads though... 8) 8)

I am still 'wrecked' after the journey , we clocked up 1500 km , lots of highlights but the main ones had to be the scenery and brilliant roads , the comedy 'performance' by Timmy in the village pub , the sight of John Lancaster 'cruising ' down the street in his mint Celica 1600ST looking like something from a 70s movie :laughing5: and of course meeting some old friends and indeed some new ones . well done to Derek and Nicky for organising a fun and varied event , and oh yes !! good to see you adopted the 'tulip' diagrams for the route notes -------- very slick . We are already planning our return visit ---perhaps for a bit longer next time .
