What kind of time do you expect to get back to Northampton? It looks like a VERY long day, but I might be able to swing it

Hmmm, leave MK at 6:30am back 9.30pm

OK I'm a softie but 15 hours in the saddle is just too long, and an overnight stop just don't work for a full time Dad.

I'll have to pass and just get all miserable when I see the pics

Have a blast guys

That's it, steal my glory (joke - I have no intention of planning a run so far North you need Oxygen )

100 MINIs up Staxton hill They really are good roads - I'll happily lead away as many Southerners as there are for the run back down Sarf

It's not THAT bad

It'll be 20 mins ( if that ) to Northampton, 90 mins to Ferrybridge - 15 minute break, and 30 min to York from there. then it's an hour or so standing around chatting with folks before starting the run. The run itself has numerous stops so you are not in the car all day by any means, if . Then at the end we'll wait for an hour or so before heading back. Sooooooooooooooo, it's not 15 hours in saddle, it's about 450 miles in all so really not too bad ..... come on you know you want too, you'll just be depressed when you see those pics

Can we think for you Sir??.... Surely if Soggy can get a green card then anyone can

As for coming on the convoy with you soggy... i'm afraid(well not literally) but I have my SON cleaning and buffing CoopRaNite

Really hope you can make it ABG as there are some really nice roads and the COMPANY.. well that’s second to none .. apart from Brushy.. but you'll get used to it in no time

Goonery is added at some point or another
