Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 I'm getting this one in early. The 2022 Run to the Sun will be on Sunday 19th June. It's also the breakfast meeting the same day so how about making a day of it? Breakfast at the Motorist from 11, then a steady run to the east coast for something else to eat then a run home into the setting sun on nearly the longest day. Destination to be decided nearer the day. Plenty of notice, so no excuses! Quote
Andy_R Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 Would love to but it's my daughters birthday AND Fathers Day on the 19th so not a chance of me getting out in the new (to me) Westfield 😪 Quote
Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted June 11, 2022 Author Posted June 11, 2022 Bump for next Sunday. Getting a plan together. Meet at the Motorist at 10, leave at 10:30. We won't have breakfast there, instead head to the NY500 at Pickering. From there over to Whitby and then along the East Coast stopping off as and when we need to. Taking in Whitby, Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington and finishing at Hornsea for fish and chips. From Hornsea take the road through Beverley, hopefully avoiding the M62 this time. We can pick up and drop out along the way depending on your start and finish. Who's coming? Quote
Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted June 12, 2022 Author Posted June 12, 2022 Possible cancellation. I've posted this on here, messenger and WhatsApp groups and so far I've had no one confirm that they are coming. I know it's fathers day, and some can't make it, I can even change the day to Saturday if that's better. Please let me know if you can make it, I don't want to be sat there on my own not knowing if anyone is coming. 1 Quote
Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted June 13, 2022 Author Posted June 13, 2022 Change of plan. The run is going ahead, however it will be on Saturday 18th. Same route as posted above. Who's coming? Please let me know. Quote

Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted June 18, 2022 Author Posted June 18, 2022 After much faffing about, changing days, routes etc. we managed 6 people, 3 cars and 1 bike. Meeting at the Motorist at 10 am, I was immediately insulted by the marshall telling me that there were some other Caterhams over there, when I told him "it's a Westfield", "sorry, nice colour" was his reply. Des'n'Debs and John were waiting for me, and after fixing my indicator we set off to meet Roger and Judy at Seaways cafe in Fridaythorpe then on to the NY500 for breakfast. From there, on to Pickering then Scarborough, missing Whitby (too far) and down the east coast passing through Filey and stopping off in Sewerby, parking up and having a walk down the coastal path. Fuel stop in Bridlington and down to Hornsea for fish and chips. We went posh, sitting inside, not eating them from the paper. It was then time to head for home before the rain came. Setting the satnav for "home" and avoiding motorways, I made it missing the rain. A long days driving, around 180 miles, but a good one. Thanks to @Breakable?and Debs, @Never Too Oldand Judy and @Barnsley John for coming along. See you on the next one. 5 Quote
