The Long Way North 2: WSCC Club Road trip 22nd/23rd June 2024

Hi - Approximately what time will you be leaving scotch corner, given I only live 40 miles south of there I may meet you there in the morning rather than overnight in the hotel.

We have also booked the Travelodge, Berwick on Tweed for the Sunday night,

Thanks for info on this @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative  I've also booked this Hotel for the Sunday night 👍 when we completed TLWN in 2008 we arrived at Berwick Upon Tweed at 4:30pm and it was then a 4 hour drive back down to West Yorkshire for us arriving home at 8:30pm - which was OK but a long day for us so the hotel this time sounds like a good plan 😎

Can you add me to the tour list please; Holiday Inn, Darlington booked, very tempted to book the Travel Lodge for the Sunday night too, rather than travel all the way back to Cheshire on the Sunday.

It would be a shame to miss Holy Island, if you have time to take the non direct route home on Monday.

@Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman you are added to list as requested 👍 and I also advise booking the Sunday Travelodge asap if you want it as prices are going up compared to Julies...  it must be popular !!

I won't be joining in with the run, but as it's on the same weekend as the Yorkshire "Run to the Sun" I thought it would be too good an opportunity to head north instead of the east coast and meet up at Scotch Corner on Saturday evening. 

I'll work out a route and times so we can grab something to eat with you all there. I'll also make a separate thread for my run. 

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Fantastic idea @Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO, it will be great to meet up with the Yorkshire crew as well that day, @Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator you will have one hell of a turn out👍👍👍

I was there in 2008. Good trip, but on the Sunday I was moving to South Wales, so did the Saturday, the overnight stay and then drove from there to Cardiff in the rain in the Westfield.  
 

happy memories, I hope you all have a good time.
 

 

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Nice to hear the memories, was anyone else there in 2008, or have any photo's?

[W Shep]

just a few photos, look closely and you might see a young Marcus! 😀

Love the cow photo's, it frightens the life out of you when a tonne of cow stands next to you and you are strapped in your car, unable to travel........and more especially if that tail should get raised....💩😮😂
