The Bugman Run, 3rd-4th July.

[Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO]

Taking place on Saturday, 3rd to Sunday, 4th July the Yorkshire area are having a weekend away in memory of @BugMan, Steve Pitt. 

We are taking over the White Horse Inn at Rosedale Abbey for the night. 

The day will start early meeting at 9AM to leave at 9:30 from Skelton Grange service station at J45, M1. The first stop will be at the NY 500 cafe near Pickering at 11:30 for a lunch break. 

After that, I'm not sure where. The route has been planned by @shutty1971, @marcusb, and @Rickyboy100 in a pub!! 

There is still a single room left if anyone is interested. And if anyone wants to join us on either Saturday or Sunday, please let us know so numbers can be arranged. 

Let's hope this is a fitting tribute to Steve.

Well done guys, big respect for this.

We’ve made it to the hotel, managed to dodge most of the rain, bumped into @Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)  At the cafe who joined us for some of the run, so far we’ve had one broken throttle return spring, one flat battery and four nearly flat tyres probably last checked pre lockdown 😁

Made it to the hotel. The weather forecast was horrible, but we didn't meet much rain. Well done to @marcusb @shutty1971 @Rickyboy100 and Gary in the Cobra for braving it. I didn't.

[Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO]

Day 2 started with a fantastic breakfast, just the thing to soak up the celebrations of England's 4-0 win the night before. There were a few sore heads!

We had an impromptu photoshoot by the great waitress who looked after us and just happened to be a professional photographer, thank you Charmagne Haxby Photography, photos will be on here as soon as possible.

Straight out of the car park and up Chimney Bank, the steepest road in Britain and over the moors to Thirsk, via Helmsley  and Sutton Bank where we said our goodbyes and headed for home. 

A great weekend, great people, great staff at the hotel and a great tribute to @BugMan. Pity he missed it, he would have loved it.
