Sunday
Today we make our way over to the east coast of England.
Another glorious day beckons.
Today was an interesting day. Going through the cobbled streets of the village of Dent, i realised i missed a turning! I really need my co-driver!
Ended up causing the only traffic jam the village has ever seen!
The road ahead was closed due to landslide, so we did the thing no man must ever admit to and ask someone for directions! We headed back to Dent and took an alternative route.
Two cars had taken the correct turning and were miles ahead!!! And rubbed it in when they arrived at the Tan Hill Inn. Thanks guys, LOL.
Once on the correct route again, he drove towards the Ribblehead viaduct.
Almost an hour behind, we destroyed the Buttertubs Pass and made our way to the Tan Hill Inn.
The highest pub in Britain.
After lunch it is on to the A1M for a few junctions and to fill up. Again.
Good chance for a photo.
The Yorkshire Moors are now the destination. A quick rest stop before we tackle them.
Marek removing more bugs from his windscreen.
Still fantastic weather.
We head drive the A170 to Helmsley -> turn left up to Stokesley, right to Commondale, then down on to the A170 and acrossn to Pickering. And the final stretch from there to Whitby via Goathland. It was here that the E60 M5 decided it had had enough abuse for one weekend and threw an aux belt off. Scott had no air con or power steering. Thankfully, we were only 9 miles from Whitby and he was a local boy and had a short trip home afterwards.
In Whitby for 5.15 and all parked up.
Waiting for our fish n chips.
Final reward of fish n chips.
We said our goodbyes and headed home, but not without the E92 deciding to drink some oil. A litre in around 850 miles!!
In just over a week we're on our way again, this time to Bimmerfest.
Thanks for reading.
