*************Annual Helmsley Meet 2013************

First main meeting point of the day: 11:30am (20min wait) in Thirsk, Marage Road Coach Park opposite Barleys Yard. (between B1448 & A61) only pay/display if cars left unattended.

We shall travel East along the A170 into Helmsley to the forester house car park on Cleveland Way its a large car&coach park behind the Helmsley Riding School, we should get parked up together there depending on other traffic, as its St Patricks Day and these little towns live for there Saturday and Sunday business we'll just see. After making sure everyones there, quick hello etc, then into cars at 12:30 for a full circle of the coach park to pip horns then off out......This will be 54 mile full loop route. From the cleveland way car park we'll start by heading north out of Helmsley on B1257 road through Great Broughton into Stokesley Then head west un'named road passing through Easby, Kildale & Crag Bank Wood. the road will end before reaching Danby then its turning right to head south through Castlton and the beautiful North York Moors via Fadmoor to Kirkbymoorside Village. Finally we then take the fast A170 west back to Helmsley and into the Cleveland Way coach/car Park. The drive should take about 60mins in total who knows.

Your welcome to pay and display here afterwards and head into the market square(2min walk) for a look about and some food. Plenty of shops, we had also been offered in: The Black Swan at £25 ahead or afternoon tea there at £18.

Which I can't be bothered to look through Hence the post :) Yes I'm that Lazy!

 

I'm in Hull next weekend for Mother in Laws Birthday, :( Shame!

 

If you're gonna make it a regular thing, that would be cool, Plus there is a local VAG meet at the Windmill on the A19 a few times a year, be nice for a few Rado's to turn up.....I wouldn't feel the odd one out then!

[sexybourbon 0]

Haha i must admit im a bit lazy with reading through threads some times , your welcome to jump in mine if your in hull im based in east hull but im guessing your down for the full family weekend , the other meet on the a19 is that the one thats behind the services at a car garage , think iv heard of it anyway mate

Yep, Hopefully be back to watch the F1.........

 

That place you're thinking of is the OK Diner, it sort of outgrew the car park there, so moved about 300yds up the road to the Windmill Pub, same side as the OK, but massive car park!

 

Hull used to have a big VW community, Demon VW forum etc, think some of them still meet at the Ketch Pub, near Waitrose??

[sexybourbon 0]

Yea its still on although i dont think the meet is massive anymore , and it is at the ketch up in willerby , iv been once but never felt any kind of group atmosphere , more of just seperate groups of mates all stood around seperate

 

The a19 meet sounds good id may e try and go to that although it depends how far up the 19 it is

I think I might not be able to make this now as I have been waiting for a pipe for my power steering and just been told its not available till next week(gutted)I don't want to bodge it and waste steering fluid so might have to sit this one out,,

 

 

If this is going to be a regular thing tho I will defo attend at some point,,

[Michael'durham' 10]

Russ that's a real shame :( your gonna miss a great time.

 

Darlo Steve please drop me a Pm I'm getting a census together of all northeast names and contact details. I'll give you my mobile number on return.

I have around 30 owners now, it's amazing.

[lilfuzzer 1]

Thats a shame russ would have been good to catch up next time though buddy

[20vtvw 0]

I'm really gutted ,make sure you take plenty of pics so I can see what I've missed out on.

 

Is there plans for this to be regular?

I'm thinkng a good 3-4 times a year, just gonna wait on feedback and suggestions I guess. it can only get better and larger numbers, like I said in the earlier message im getting upto around 30owners which is amazing.

[Michael'durham' 10]
