Nice touch.
As we are having a meet on 14 th March would it not be better in April?


Chris

[RPWC]

I already knew about your meet Chris, which is why I said late March, so if we go for March,will be the last weekend mate, so as not to step on your toes.

[stevestrat]

Nice touch renaming it Richard. I'll be up for it again this year, last year in the fog and drizzle was memorable!

wonder if Keith will be up for the hill climb again:D

[stevestrat]

Never got to the bottom of that did we. Sheep were too far away to see if they were attractive ones :D

I'm passing through your neck of the woods tomorrow, heading to a town south of Leeds to bring a ZT260 home!

[FLYER]

wonder if Keith will be up for the hill climb again:D

I will bring my binoculars just in case he sets off...:D

[stevestrat]

With the distance he covered I think you'd be better off with a satellite tracker George.

[FLYER]

As discussed with you Richard this a great idea to honour two departed members.

This meet is your baby and I'm sure you will settle on a date.

I can taste the pies already...:drool4:

[roverbarmy]

When I saw the name Carter Bar, it brought back all sorts of memories of driving over the top with dad in his Ford V8 truck, back in the fifties. I could literally see him sweating (even in the depths of winter) until we got over the summit with a load on. :duh: No heater, no power steering, rubbish brakes. The flask used to be well used on those trips!

[stevestrat]

Excellent day at the Bar .

We had the lot .
Bright sunshine , Siberian winds , Flakes of snow and hailstones :eek:.

Nice toasts to our departed friends and thoughts for Grandy.

That T4 is useless , Brian could,nt get the football on it :duh::D.

Oh and Rodders the wife munched the pie and says thanks .:D

[Fusilier]

Enjoyed the few hours up at Carters Bar, the drive up was through some lovely scenery, and the group remained convoy disciple very well, and was even better once we passed the horse boxes

On way back drove back down the A68, all the way to Bishop Auckland, then back home at around 1600 hrs

Was nice to meet the boys from the North, who brought the varied weather with them, but had a lovely sunny drive back home

Thanks to all

Stu

[Katica]

Great drive out, pies were grand (cheers rod) good crack and ah some nice cars as well. Good to see everyone again :}

It's amazing how many photos there are of George with a pork pie on its way to his mouth :D

Them there hailstones look a bit serious - I got them for about 10 minutes as I headed South down the A68, but after that it cleared to a nice sunny afternoon.
