Fish and Chips at Scarboro' Anyone? - 17th February 2008

[vigilante]

This Sunday (17th February) its my 25th Birthday - When the Mrs asked me what I wanted to do to mark the occasion I thought for a bit. Then this morning I thought of an idea. Fish and chips at scarboroughthen I though of another idea - get as many people as possible to come with us (ps. I'm not paying for the chips for everyone before somebody asks! ) - its kinda like a moving birthday bash, but really I'm using the birthday as an excuse to drive to scarborough for fish and chips
I know this is short notice but would love anyone to come who can make it
So this is the provisional plan. (Bear with me, I'm making this up as I go along at this point )
-Meet up at the OK Diner on the A19 southbound near elwick at 10(ish). Take a few some photos in front of the diner for retro values then leave at 10.20.
-Then work our way to scarborough on a route to be decided maybe using (chimney bank and goathland). Route is depending on who wants to come (i.e. meeting points worked into the route ).
-Feast on quality fish and chips at the Oasis cafe on Royal Albert Drive (The North Bay seafront for those sans sat-nav ).
-Drive up to olivers mount for a couple of lesuirely laps and some more photos.
-Drive back the same way we came waving bye to people as they peel off to go home

This is a sort of MINI/Mini event but I'm welcoming anyone to come along MINI, Mini or whatever your currently driving .

Please Note: This is not a rally, its not a race and this is not an obese hedgehog called Reginald...Seriously though families will be amongst the participants (well mine at least) so no crazy overtaking, no bunching, no tommi makinen impressions (flying finns) and so on and so forth. Basically if you wanna drive fast then this isn't the run for you. If you wanna go for a nice drive out, have a laugh and get some quality fish and chips then this is the run for you

Goings:
1. Vigilante (Steve, Gwyn and Morgan)
2. Wills87
3. Vigilante's ma and pa - either a yaris or a 220bhp is200
4. The family Hall - Almera
5. Beefy - mini custom - nemc

Possibles:
1. Primmi's dad - mini auto - nemc
2. MiniCoopers53 - mcs jcw
3. Greendaychick - mini spi custom - nemc
4. Rob, rachel and the kids - cooper sport 500

Seconded, would love some quality Fish & Chips (although I prefer Bridlington ) They just don't know how to cook them properly down south
Happy Birthday for Sunday!

[Wills87]

i'd meet in scarborough or goathland as thats where i live mate (goathland)

[vigilante]

nice one! thats goathland offically on the agenda

[Hat]

really great idea, sadly a bit far for me, but good luck with it. chimney bank & the roads around that area are fantastic. a run through dalby is always good

[Fizzoid]

Cropton's always a good place to visit if you're round that way, The New Inn and Cropton Brewery especially

[vigilante]

thanks for the good wishes hat. We'll see you in march for the rwyb run.
Thanks for the tips fizzoid. I haven't been to cropton for a couple of years didn't know there was a brewery there. Lol usually passin through. Will look into that further.

Rosedale then up chimney bank back down again then fryup and over to goatland down the main road to pickering then straight along to scarboro. Grab some scran (bout 2) then up the mount for a bit play. Then home via helmsley or whitby whichever peeps prefer. Waddayafink?
