Sept.weekend

[marky.t.s]

well we had a great weekend down Scarborough way,some crackin roads i have'nt been on for years,the last time must have been 6-7 years ago ,so it was pre-scooby anyway,for those that know the road to S/boro' the usual run up the Sutton bank was closed so a diversion was in place which took us on the" caravan route" avoiding the 1:3 gradient and all the tight bends.This was even better than the usual route!!!even with the car pretty well packed(the usual.....female takes everything for a long weekend scenario.)we had fun with the 90deg. bends,blind summits,twists and turns.The run up to Reighton sands where we were staying was even better but some of the pace notes should have read"caution,big jump,dont cut!!!!"i think the missus stomach still hasnt settled but myself and the wee man loved it .

Anyway,saturday was mostly spent at the beach

sunday was pretty windy, but dry so we took a run down to Bridlington,the sea was at its best at the harbour

edit....oops posted in wrong section ...sorry Andy

then it was up on the( newly opened this year)Bridlington eye,a very impressive wheel indeed,the view was stunning,and a bit scary at the top when the wind got a hold of the Gondola we were in.

a good view....

now,heres where it becomes interesting in an SIDC/Scottish scoobies sort of way,we were in the Pavillion on the sea front when a guy in a SWRT jacket walked buy outside when my son Ciaran said "thats the guy that was on the march run with us,he drives a Legacy estate!".So i moved nearer to the window for a closer look and thought ,mmmmm,mibbies aye mibbies naw.Either way if it was him i couldnt remember his real name never mind a username,and i wasnt going to rattle the window(shouting something like "Monkeynutz555") and have folks outside looking at me as if i was mental,so if you look at the following pic ,and you drive a Leggy estate ,follow the wall at the bottom right of the pic up towards the harbour the guy with the SWRT jacket is clearly leaning over the wall at the second lampost from the bottom

anyway back to work in sunny Douglas the morra!!

Sound's like you and the family had a great weekend Mark,last time i went to Scarborough i had a type 25 veedub camper van and it broke down not far from sutton bank ,well the AA guy arrived and put it on his flat bed and drove up sutton bank with it,i honestly thought it would not make it but he managed no problem and got us to our campsite all be it a little late.
