Buttercup, Shaggy, Marcus & Nemesis try to go for a picnic

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

Hello.

 

I have posted a few pictures of our day out on YouTube if you fancy having a look.

The idea was to go for a picnic [ in the bag on the back of Buttercup I had a BBQ and a load of sausages  ] before heading up to Rosedale Chimney which is Britains steepest road with a couple of interesting hairpins and fantastic views.

 

The day started well with Nemesis and his wife having a good breakfast at the Highway Man café and it was here we met Marcus and his son and Shaggy and his daughter.

 

We eventually set off to the seaside but unfortunately Shaggy had to leave the group due to a bad back and this left the three of us to continue.

 

We headed towards Scarborough through Troutsdale which is a pretty, single track valley where you can go at 20mph and take in the views.

 

From here we headed up to Olivers Mount where we stopped to admire the views by the war memorial and also have our pictures taken on the motorcycle race track.

 

Then it was through town for a pose and set of a couple of car alarms before stopping on the sea front at my local café for a cuppa tea.

 

Then it was onwards to Whitby on newly gritted roads at 10 MPH before having a serious pose through Whitby.

 

We then headed north to Sandsend and this is where poor Buttercup would not start and needed to be taken home on a recovery wagon.

 

Nemesis and Marcus continued to Rosedale Chimney after making sure we were ok and went up and down the hill on more than one occasion.      .

 

We started out as four and ended up as two but it was still an enjoyable day for me with great company.

 

Hope you like the pictures.

Who's is number 40 and where did that front splitter come from? Looks great.

It's a Mickmade Splitter, they do come up on here occasionally, or Mick posts as MHC, you might, if you're really lucky persuade him to make you one!

Sounds like an excellent day with some great pictures - apart from going home on a recovery truck!

 

I'm curious - where was the tow cable attached to get you on the back of the truck?  I can't see anywhere on mine without taking the nosecone off.  Thanks.

I don't know the details in this case, but...

 

On track, the roll bar is often used for towing, though winching might be tricky. Sometimes - but you have to be really careful not to bend it, a front wishbone is used instead.
