Default The Three Dales Run

Hiya,

Is anyone interested in doing an event on 25th / 26th October?

I have planned this for the WR1 Owners club but due to various issues a lot have dropped out leaving about four of us to do this event. The event details are as follows....

Date: 25th / 26th October

This event will give new members a chance to get to know each other over a meal and a few drinks. Following this there will be a structured drive where a navigator should be used that will take you along some good driving roads showing you some of the sights from the three dales. The run will take you through Wharfedale, Nidderdale and Wensleydale.

There will be numerous stopping points on the way including a lunch stop for a chance to stretch legs etc. The reason for having a navigation manual is to prevent people having to drive like nutters to catch up if they get left behind at a junction or traffic lights etc. Some people even prefer 2min delay between cars setting off on an event like this to space the cars out but we will go with the flow on that depending on how many turn up. This should also give the other half something to do without getting bored .

There are two things to remember if attending this event. First of all please ensure you start the event with a full tank of fuel. I can direct you to local stations if required. Secondly if you are coming via Leeds city centre then watch out for a large number of speed cameras. These were put up following a spate of people rushing from the city centre to catch a plane and as a result causing several accidents.

Full event details as follows:

Saturday
Make your way to Yeadon Stoops / Premier Inn (next to Leeds Bradford Airport). Links:

Yeadon Stoops:
Yeadon Stoops - Yeadon Leeds West Yorkshire

Premier Inn:
Leeds / Bradford Airport Hotel | Information - cheap quality budget hotel rooms - Premier Inn - Premier Inn

7:30PM We can go for a pub meal and a few drinks at Yeadon Stoops Pub. I suggest people that are not local book a room at the Premier Inn next door to the pub so they can have a few drinks. I need to know numbers coming for the meal so that I can check with the pub and if need be pre-book this.

Sunday
9:45am Navigation Booklets will be handed out one per car for people to read through and get to know. Once everyone is happy they know what they are doing then we will start the run and head off onto the first stopping point. The run is designed to start at 10:00 and finish between 14:00 and 15:00 if all goes to plan.

If you are interested in this run then let me know if you can make the full event or part of the event so I can book tables and print off booklets where required.

Thanks

Martin

Hi sounds like you are well organised

Just an informal suggestion, we use a "visual link" system on our runs where, the car in-front doesn't leave a junction till the car behind is in view...

Doesn't work too well in Bradford

Hope to make this one, clutch allowing !

Okay thanks for the info mate... The idea behind the navigation manuals gives you chance to bring a mate with you for the ride or family members... and also allows the ones that want to drive faster the chance to go off and have some fun whilst the others drive at their own pace behind. Convoys are always fun but the tail enders always feel under pressure and sometimes end up driving like nutters to keep up with the pack.. havng a manual eliminates that, this is why i suggested it. It will be good to get a few cars from here going too get a nice number going...

I'd be up for this, work permitting.

Bloody hell, a run. See that people? a RUN! Actually turning the ignition key and going somewhere!

Flippin' 'eck! What next? Clubs for people that actually enjoy going out and doing this sort of thing? I'll never catch on!

Robin now has a Navigator to add to the list - Tom Dunstan the racing driver currently competing in the Ginetta G50 Cup. I recommend all drivers have a navigator with them if possible to read the route and forewarn of dangers specified in the navigation booklet. List updated accordingly...
