John Morrison Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 So four guys fron North of the county, met for a coffee at Penrith, and just took off heading up the Eden Valley, and across the border into SW Scotland for a picnic. Great stuff and a real, un wind and a chuckle. What could be better with likeminded friends? John. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rod1883 Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Had a very pleasant few days on the Coast to Coast run organised by Paul Hogan this last week. Setting off from Portchester Castle on Monday morning to a great hotel in Usk, via a lunchtime stop at a canal side pub and Avebury where we spent a good couple of hours around the stones, in the little museum and then in the manor gardens. Tuesday saw us heading off from Usk to a spectacular hotel on the Anglesey side of the Menai strait, via an early lunch stop and then Portmeirion. We headed toward home on Wednesday stopping overnight at the Fleece Inn near Evesham and then on Thursday a nice hour and a half or so at Hidcote Manor Gardens before the last leg home. In total we did a little over 700 miles in the 4 days. Edited June 20, 2021 by Rod1883 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bob In my younger days, three of us collected a Thames camping skiff at Lechlade and over three or four days rowed it down to Reading in homage to Jerome K. Jerome. We had a 'one pint only at lunchtime' rule otherwise the whole tour would have gone pear-shaped! We slept(?) on the skiff each night. The seat boards were removed to the bank, large iron hoops installed and a heavy canvas cover secured over the top. Definitely not as comfortable as the Shetland, but definitely a tour we all remember. Miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted June 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Out at the mountains you see your tiny TR a short time before we arrive at our mountain hut (up in the rear) Me and my queen hope our servants prepared everything for our convenience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnwill Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 5 TR's from Coventry Group, and a Stag (and a Jag F-Pace, as owner had problems with his TR6 recently) went on a trip to Northumberland last week. Stopped over on way up at Bishop Aukland, then Beamish Living Museum and Angel of the North the next day, before arriving at hour hotel near Alnwick later that day. Visited most towns on the coast nearby, sailed out to the Farne Islands, and drove to Holy Island. Visited Cragside and Rothbury. Mostly incident free, apart from my starter motor packing up, and lots of pushing by the rest of the group... And an exhaust coming apart on a TR3, but that was quickly sorted by a really helpful mechanic in a garage in Embleton. Must say, my first visit to that part of the Country, and I was very impressed. Trip was organised by scenic car tours, apart from stop-overs on way up and way home. They did a good job. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Excellent ! glad you are getting the Shetland out and enjoying being on the water Bob I have just sold the mighty Kedr as the combination of Covid and Brexit made it just too hard to get any use out of it this past year. So i may buy something in the uk or hold off for a while to see how things pan out for Med boating. steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
