Write Up The Lakes & Yorkshire Dales Tour 2022

[andyglym]

What a weekend, absolutely superb Thanks for all rocking up, pleased you all had a great time and nice to see old and new faces.

Many cakes and much ice cream were consumed and all my clothes have shrunk!

The routes and stops appeared to run like clockwork, which was a relief.

Circa 18hrs on the road over two days with stunning scenery and roads and only a smidge of rain. Happy days folks, see you all next year.

Right then, down to business and the Awards Ceremony
@andyglym for the dirtiest car on Sunday morning (in my defence I was all F1 like and cutting a whole in the air for everybody else)

@Jjim for having the most lights on his dashboard and using the most fuel, by a distance.

@mwpe for having an F1 tyre like shred then getting 300 miles home on his spacesaver (there's a message in that )

@Mint for getting back to the hotel on day 1 ..... minus his entire group

@bertiejaffa for running day 1 in his Coupe then going home to swap for his Z3M for day 2

Andrew Bigger (@Mhairi Biggar 's dad) for knocking out a kink in his MV2 with a FBH and block of wood ..... and it worked

@Z Victor 1 for his "leisurely" Driving. If you're still going round next year Ken we'll catch you up

All of Group 3 for getting from the Charles Bathurst Pub to the Fat Lamb in a downpour with all roofs down

And lastly a special award to that f***ing Peacock that kept us all awake, all nite every nite!

Do it again next year and you'll be turned into a nice hat!!!!!

Sorry to miss day 2 Andy but thanks very much for all your work in organizing. Very enjoyable for time I was there, successful run home at a steady 50MPH for 300 miles. Proves that those spare wheels are worth looking after.

Many thanks for a great weekend Andy, top job as usual. Not sure what the 'Leisurely driving' award was for apart from Dave's group waiting for me when I'd stopped for a wazz at the top of one of the passes!
