Write Up The Lakes & Yorkshire Dales Tour 2022

[Paul Rice]

Big thankyou to Andy for a brilliant well organised event, not to mention the sterling work by Yvonne in getting us some great lodgings at a fantastic value. Top work also by Stevo managing to keep us all together for the full 2 days.
Not managed to down load any dash cam footage yet but heres some pictures from me, apologies for any duplication's

The Grand at Grange. Old hotel with lots of character good food in a pleasant atmosphere and plenty of room for all our Zeds

Squadron leader Andy leading out group 1

Group 2 not off to a good start with some very dodgy parking

As i was in group 3 no pictures of us leaving but here one of the Gaffers car, well done Stevo for keeping us all together

Honister pass slate mine quite dramatic but a bit mucky for our pristine Zeds

Met up with an old friend, Reggie piloted by Dave and Jules Lee, first Zed run out i ever had following Reggie where ever he went including a farm yard, happy memories with my old Z3

Time for ice cream, great collection of Zeds at our first stop on day 2

Trio at Ribberdale viaduct

Talking cars probably. A really great way to spend a weekend, among friends doing what we love. Thanks again Andys 1st class

Many thanks again Andy for a superb weekend.
Thanks to Dave (mint) for leading our group - an incredibly tiring task.
Great to see so many people both old friends & new.
Half way home now on overnight stop so only photo I can find is one from the Cumbria hotel bedroom window.

We both had a amazing weekend as well Andy, although we didn't manage to get any photos. Many thanks to you and the C-in-C for all your hard work in making it the fun it was.

Oh, and thanks to @Mint and Pauline for leading our group. They did a cracking job of keeping us all together and getting us to the right places.

Thanks Andy for a fantastic weekend, appreciate the hard work that goes into making it such a success. Great to meet everybody there. Thanks also to Mark and Lee for letting me tag along on the way home today. Note to self make sure when you use the sat nav the right route has loaded, I got to junction 29 of the M1 at Leeds when I realised it had picked up the route to the Lake district rather than Salford Keys, LOL, oh well the sun was out and the roof was down, Looking forward to the next one. A few pics I took.
