ditto.

Where you going? We're off for a 4 day trip, stopping in PitLochry, Ballater, Aviemore (for 2 nights) and home again.

I think we're going up the Coldstream road in the Marlin with the hearse transformation

[jagsy]

not as far as that, just to a classic car show at Mellerstain near Kelso. Hope to have 3 HSV's and 3 Moanro's

I'm a regular at Harewood, and I hope to be able to go on the 5th.

Anyone who hasn't been before:
Bring something warm to wear, just in case there's a cold wind blowing across the hillside (can ruin your day).

Parking is excellent, and normally supervised, so pretty safe.
Viewing is really good too, and you can wander around the pits, no problem.
I always bring my own food and drink, because a) I hate queuing, and b) I'm a tight-fisted Yorkshireman.

Are you driving up to Kelso with the TVR lot on Sunday, or will we slow you down too much!

We are leaving the Premier Lodge at 8.30

im off to the british super bikes at croft ,(even though theyre all jap bikes)in the shopping trolley.
But if it was a cliff freefall instead of a hill climb at hairwood mine wood be the first over the eadge.

Did anyone go to Harewood?

My son and I packed our picnic and headed on down, but the weather just detiorated the further south we got, so ended up shopping in York.

Shame really, but I like it dry (and fast).

[mawds]

yup. went with satch. loved it. will definitely go again - weather wasn't actually bad - pi$$ed it down until about 1pm, then bright & breezy for the afternoon (ie hill dried out). fastest we saw was 55sec-ish

[grahamw48]

Oh, typical !

Glad you had a good day, anyway.
55 secs is pretty quick !

I like the variety of vehicles you see there, and friendly atmosphere.
