Got my ticket already, going up from Cheshire with the misses. First time Ive been to one but from the past photo's ive seen it can be a good turnout.

I last went in 2007 when it was held at Bolton Abbey and yes, it was a really good turnout of different cars. Should be a good day out.

I've grovelled like a trooper and im back in good books now - BUT, im hungover to hell!!

I've not had a proper drink for nearly 12 months - since the Mrs got pregnant with our 2nd but last night made up for it with a lot of vodka! My head hurts (plus i've been up since 4.50am with the baby) so not the best of days for a 2 1/2 hr drive to Ripon. I'd have considered Bolton Abbey but Ripon's that bit further - however, im very jealous as the roads around Pateley Bridge are excellent.
