Camp Carrots Summer holidays to Yorkshire

[Martin Bell - (Bellyboy) East Anglia AO]

As many of you are aware. Our East Anglian area is very flat indeed and the only thing that we look up too is not mountains but carrot tops. After just completing malvern kit car show, 3 of our cars are embarking on a trip to Robins good old Yorkshire for 5 days. We will be visiting many places as well as tasting the local cuisine from the 10th -15th june. 

 

Our aims to have some fun and do some spirited driving at times plus not get chucked out of Yorkshire. We will be based in Pateley Bridge and go from there on. We will be updating our progress as we go and hopefully the weather will be nice. 

 

Watch those ferrets Robin. The carrot crunchers are coming to town.

Let us know where you're going and I'll see if we can meet up.

@Martin Bell - (Bellyboy) East Anglia AO if you do the Buttertubs Pass (you should, it's possibly the best driving road in the area) please be careful on the top as there is a damaged cattle grid, it is signposted as damaged from one way but not the other, nice!. When you see the safety barrier like in this photo, you are close by

 

 

Don't forget the Diamox!😁
