Mick Forey Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Ouch. Better than hitting a moose, with their long legs, their body hits the windscreen, gives you a bit of a headache. Mick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tim hunt Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Provisional route for the Club Triumph Coast to Coast for Drive It Day has been announced. Entries are limited to 50 cars with a closing date of 17th April and the list currently stands at 41. The start is at Flamborough Head in Yorkshire at 19.00 on Saturday 25th April and the route then takes crews through the North York Moors including the climb of Rosedale Chimney Bank (everyone is advised to check handbrake operation before the start!) skirting Teesside and into the North Pennines Area of Natural Beauty on to Gretna Green for a break at 01.00. The route then takes us south to Hartside Summit and Alston and then into the Yorkshire Dales to Sedbergh and through The Forest of Boland to Slaidburn and then a well earned breakfast at the finish in Southport from 07.00 on. To be fair my wife feels the same way as Roger's missus but anyone who thinks it a waste of time to drive through the night when no scenery can be enjoyed is surely missing the point. To this enthusiast nothing can beat a long night drive in a well tuned TR with good lights. The cooler, denser night air must be good for a few more bhp whilst traffic is generally lighter and on sharp bends on single carriageway roads the lights of approaching vehicles give early warning for more safety. Can't wait! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tim hunt Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Thanks John, the organiser, with some help from northern members, put a lot of effort into it. It is gratifying to see this rewarded by a healthy entry. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SuzanneH Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 It looks a great route, perhaps Roger and I can recreate it in the summer in the daylight to enjoy the driving and the beautiful scenery, flora and fauna ( without hitting it ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
