Hi All

Crikey you've all been busy 4 pages of unread posts to plough through when I got back  Grin

We've done 680 miles in our tour of the East Yorkshire/Northumberland over the last 11 days - managed an average of 29 mpg which wasn't too bad considering how it was loaded up/hilly terrain in some parts.

Wasn't entirely uneventful - had to have the AA out once - was gradually losing power and then ultimately wouldn't start as the points had closed up, will defo be fitting the electronic ignition soon.

Some bloke in a black Audi also drove into it when parked in a car park but luckily it only appears to have put a couple of black lines on the side of the pod - should t-cut out - did more to his colour coded bumper!

Other than that had a good tour went to Skipsea, Bridlington, Filey, Scarborough, Whitby, Saltburn by the Sea, Durham, Alnwick and Berwick amongst others.



We even managed to see a few rascarrys in the process - put the details in the spotted section.

Hope you've all been having fun

Cheers Mark (Chop)- aye it wasn't too bad really, only took him 5 mins to sort - felt a big of a berk that I couldn't fix it myself Embarrassed

Nearly called in on the way back from Brid today to see your pickup, but hadn't brought your number with me and didn't want to call in unannounced.

Like the new look of the truck by the way!

No spotted section?!

So, we saw;

A white G reg romahome in the Alnwick/Dunstanburg area of Northumberland on Sunday 3rd July - got a light flash and a wave.

There was a nice C reg red pickup in the car park behind the beach at Saltburn by the Sea on Thursday 8 July.  This had black gloss painted sides on the flatbed - nice tidy looking thing.  Couldn't see the owner but it had moved from the middle of the car park to the front when we returned.  Sure I've see this on a post on here somewhere.

We followed an E reg white Bambi through Bridlington today - it had just left the South Cliff Caravan Park.

Anybody own any of these/were you driving them?  Grin

Cheers
