Default Yorkshire Tour?

This one I'm just putting feelers out for, as I think we could make this an awesome day/weekend event.

There are some superb roads 'oop north' just ripe for a quick blast, coupled with some awesome tiptronic testing, twisty bits.

Throw in some of the best fish and chips, and roadside cafe's around, and you'll start to see where I'm coming from.

Now my intention would be that this would be a September(ish) event, and would likely cost us all a full tank of fuel, just for the tour, not including getting to the starting point, and back home again

So, if you fancy this, and I'm sure it'll be an absolute blast, then put your name down below.

This one will be open to other clubs (TSN) too, and may involve some of the local (many) VAG forums, as I have been incredibly impressed with their enthusiasm for the hobby we all enjoy

I might be up for this but could only really consider near the time, we are off on a 3000 mile europe trip at the end of August so its a bit tight timescale for me.

So that's 2 days driving!

I'm up for this but already committed for the first weekend in Sept. But the rest are free and I might just have a few days I could use either side.

September would be OK for me

Is this family friendly or just a day or 2 driving event?

Guys plans are being put together for this now, so commitment would be more than welcome

I'm also looking for anyone who could help with taking video/photgraphic footage of the event, as I'd like to put something together that we can all remember the weekend by.

Any volunteers? Family members welcome to help, not sure if you want to bring family along to the weekend though, as it is intended to be 2 days of hooning around the Yorkshire countryside
