First run of the year, and the first one for a while. 

I met @marcusb at the service station at 10, then headed over to South Milford where Des'n'Debs ( @Breakable?) and @Curley were waiting. Then it was off to Stamford Bridge to meet the others. For once the times were keeping to schedule until a spanner was thrown into the works with a broken throttle cable on Curleys car. A quick repair was carried out and we were on our way in 20 minutes. @Tom Vale and Lisa were there with newbies @Nicholas Rycroftand Julie. It was then on to the NY500 and a fish finger sandwich, and meet Roger and Judy. The roads were damp and the cars got very dirty, but the weather kept fine and not too cold, even without a heater. After food, we set off for Thornton le Dale to go to Mathewsons of Bangers and Cash fame, unfortunately the museum was closed so we had a walk round the village instead. Home time and time to say goodbye before it got dark. We all made it home ok apart from Tom and Lisa who had to be recovered with a flat battery and possible alternator failure. 

A good day out, and hopefully the first of many this year.

No, car go forward, car go forward faster.

The 20 minutes roadside repair time consisted of 18 minutes trying to find which cable it was then 2 minutes fixing it 😆
