Boxing Day in Yorkshire?
Discussion
Was just thinking... after the "cracking" run out on Sunday... that what better way to shake off the alcohol and plum pudding induced stupour from Christmas day, than by going out for a refreshing blast in the country on Boxing Day.
A crowd of us used to go out on horses and stop off at the Royalty pub ontop of Otley Chevin and on a nice bright, crisp morning there's few better feelings than being out in the fresh air.
Just a thought, anyone think it might be a goer?

[Tries to find space for another "crack" gag & fails. Arse.]
Top plan, count me in.

Hello Al
Am abit dubious about going out for a pint and the craic with you on Saturday now
I'll ask the DJ to play The Waterboys song - 'Chim Girl saw the whole of the moon'
Would like to go out to play on Boxing Day, but have to go to my cousin's birthday party (his B day is 25th Dec!) Not sure what time the party starts, though if it is later on I will try and come for a jaunt
Hi Don - Northallerton might be a bit of a trek to come just for a lunchtime snifter. If it was a big do then maybe, but I think it would only be half a dozen of us at most getting together for twop or three hours to blow the cobwebs away. Otley Chevin is between Otley and Leeds in West Yorkshire.
However, if it turns out to be a goer and you need an excuse to 'escape' for the day you will be more than welcome.

Hey Martyn, if you're worried about keeping up... sorry, that was another occasion... I mean, standing the pace...
and, all in tune now... "Jo saw the crescent, but not.. the whole of the moooon"
Boxing Day is all just an idea at the moment... depending on who's up for it we may even end up around Huddersfield kicking off at my place for bacon butties and bucks fizz, as that may be easier.
mmmm Holme Moss mmmm Woodhead Pass
we also have a very good pub 50 yards from my front door for post race...doh... I mean run analysis 
ooh ooh more people, this could turn out to be quite good after all 
better warn the missus
Like I said guys, we'll see where people are all based and sort a meeting place out from there... either way, Pennines or Dales, there's plenty of nice countryside to go at.
Andy and Chumley - whereabouts are you based?

We met up at Pool, which by my reckoning is about two and a half minutes for you Chumley I saw the thread about sunday but unfortunately I'm slaving away in Algeria till tomorrow. Been away for the last five weeks so that I can buy a new head unit and some leven goodies for christmas.
Mistake: it was something else I saw a thread about.

If it's a Chevin run then we'll come, getting over to Huddersfield for lunchtime may be a bit tricky. We have friends with us until lunchtime but will come as soon as they leave.
Actually, the friends staying with us have an S, they had planned to travel oop north in the Volvo. Wonder if they can be persuaded....
