Hi Dave1071,

Will there be final confirmation of the run going ahead?

Anything else you need from us before the run?

[wantanM]

Given recent weather might we have to take a rain check on this ??

Hoping that it will clear? But at present does look under threat.

At least there shouldnt be any snow or ice about,unlike previous north east run!!

[Dave1971]

I am a little concerned about the weather but all I can say is we will have to give it another couple of days and have a look. I know it's short notice and not ideal but I'd rather not risk it if the roads are not safe.

Guess you haven't been watching the weather John - need snorkels in parts of North Yorks, and even when it's gone there's lots of crap and broken roads left behind.
Happy for you to lead and test the water depth for us if you like - at least you can climb out the top when the engine floods.

[sammyz]

Just fitted my 'M' snorkel so put me at the front.

Forecast seems good between now and the weekend but happy to go with the decision of the locals!

[Dave1971]

Sorry to let you folks down but I feel it's the best thing to do. I'm sure you have all seen the news about the problems we have been having round here but just in case you hav'nt a 40 mile stretch of the A1 has been closed for two days the weather has been that bad.
Having spoken to some of the lads at work who live in the outlying villages(those that made it in) they have all said the roads are in a shocking state with mud, gravle and lots of water running across the roads.That coupled with the forecast for Sunday being very poor I just don't think it would be a worthwhile event. I know it's not all about the hoon but we did'nt buy these cars to potter round like we are driving Nissan Micra's.
Unfortunatley I've no free weekends for about the next 6 weeks so can not even postpone it. I do appologise if I have disappionted anybody but I'll try again next year.

Better to be safe than sorry.

[paulgs1000]

Disappointing as this was our first hoon but the right choice - the only choice given the state of the roads after the weather - the last time we had heavy rain the roads were in a right mess. No fun to be avoiding this - good call. Will watch out for next year - we can have some brilliant weather in March....

[wantanM]

Fair play Laine.

Thanks for your efforts in organising.

Next year it is . .

- the rival Pistonheads run is getting a huge drop-out too as the locals bail (!) Might not be too late for a gathering, but might have to be late notice when weather reports are better.

Sammyz - what's it like over yours? Possible to hi-jack the date and run around Bowland or Wales - but saying that the forecast's prety damp there too

[sammyz]

Forecast has got worse as week's gone on. I will see if I can organise a North Wales run if there is interest. Will have a look at the next few weeks and let you all know.

[misterken]

Fair comments - thanks for trying to organise. Shame - we would have loved to have done it. Best wishes

[Finisterre]

good choice, I was looking forward to a lovely day out and there is bugger all chance of that. Mud on the road has written off one of my previous cars, spinning along at speed is not much fun. Best avoided. Thanks for the effort and thanks for the intelligent response to the weather dave. Another time.

Easter Sunday is March the 31st
Spring Bank is May 27th


Easter? Or maybe the weekend before? Sounds good to me.
