The MINI Club of Ireland

"Are we there yet??????"
Kinda can't wait for your run Derek and Nicky!
That YouTube video of the Buttertub pass is etched on my mind since i saw it

Hi all, I was looking at Ferry options and NorfolkLine do Dublin - Liverpool. That cuts down the drive a little. Was onto the company and they are prepared to give us 20% off the brochure price and 10&% off online fares? Might be an option, only downside is.... Ferry is 7 hours !

Is this a ferry job or a ryanair?

Most are taking their minis but there would be spare seats available I would think for the run if someone wanted to fly to Leeds bradford which is the nearest airport to Harrogate .

allow 3.5 hrs to 4 hrs to drive to Harrogate from Hollyhead and three hours min from Liverpool

Nicky and I popped out for a reccee again today for the Sunday run .............

.................also sorted out a route for a quick blast up to Blakey Ridge on the Saturday. brief plan for the weekend as follows

Friday evening - a get together in a pub in Harrogate after people have eaten, due to likely numbers thought it best we just meet up over drinks and allow a free choice for where and who you eat with...... guidance will be given on where's best in town to eat / budget ,etc.

Saturday either a look round the shops of Harrogate or the "follow the leader" blast to Blakey Ridge - both to be followed by coming along to the Village Feast/Fair. ( the feast will also be an opportunity to help William and I celebrate our birthday )

Sunday the Dales Run - consisting of a choice of either "a wet run" or
"a dry run" up to Hawes with a relaxing lunch stop ( with a picnic option ) and a steady return back to Brymor Ice Cream

anyone staying over till Monday will get together on the Sunday evening

more details nearer the time.

Sounds good to Me ,looking forward to this now , must bring a supercharger for my dodgem !!!!!!!!

Hi Derek and Nicki, as I have just started in a new job it is hard to get holidays, so unfortunately I won't be able to make your great run.
Wish you the best of luck with it though and I hope I'll be able to make it next year.

well there will be plenty of time to redrive it as many times as you want Buttertubs is much shorter than you think and sometimes you can have other cars in the way

the run is going to much more relaxed than previous years so if you find a bit you want to drive again just turn around
