Well, after owning my zed since November and promising myself a road trip, I decided last minute to have a few days away last week. The wife had a couple of days off work so after doing a couple of jobs on Thursday morning, I made the dreaded call home to say pack a bag we are going away in an hour. After the shouting had stopped we threw some clothes, smellies and an iron into the boot and we were off.
We had no accomodation booked and we headed off up the M62. I decided to use Scarborourgh as the base and after the motorway we hit the A roads for the 40 or so miles to Scarborough. The roads were long and straight giving a chance to stretch the legs of the zed with good overtaking oppourtunities. We arrived at our destination about 4.30 and parked up on the front, we went into a pub to quench our thirst and look on the web for some accomodation. A pint and a half of local Alpine lager was £2.46, I knew then it had been a good choice.
After we sorted some nice accomodation, a meal and a few drinks, bed was calling. The next day we were up bright n early and decided to head off starting on the front.
Then we headed off along the front heading towards Whitby. The weather wasnt too bad and with the roof down we hit some nice roads. We headed off onto the B roads for some fun
We headed off up towards RAF flyingdales and the roads were quietish, just enough traffic for me to blast past with the wind in our hair.
Then off for some more driving before a spot of lunch. The miles just clocked up and the car didnt miss a beat. It was my first long trip and as with any used car you always worry about reliability but the car performed great. After many more miles we ended up in the heartbeat village for lunch
After lunch in the Aidensfield arms it was time to head back over to Scarborough
We stayed up there til Sunday where we had some lovely drives out around Robin Hood Bay, Whitby, Bridlington, Helmsley, Pickering etc. Some lovely roads and well worth a visit.
