Good overnight stop....

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

Good overnight stop....

Post by gltease » Tue Sep 25, 2007 2:00 pm

Hi All, I'll be collecting my 480 from Wells next the sea, Norfolk, and driving all the way upto Cairnryan, Collection is on the 9th Oct and I depart for Northern Ireland on the 11th, I will likely stop halfway and spend the night (10th) somewhere, anyone got any suggestions, somewhere pleasant, scenic maybe, and have a nice meal and a beer that night....

Leeds, Harrogate looks like the halfway point, maybe a bit further depending on time....

Thanks in advance everyone !!!

Hi Colm, hey we were in Spiddle (is that right?) just up the coast from you at the end of August on a whirlwind tour of Ireland....left PUS at home and went pillion on the Triumph.

Where are you sailing to...Stranraer or Holyhead?

Harrogate is a lovely place and well worth a visit, Leeds is ok too but very busy. You may be better off stopping north Lake District area, whatever, enjoy your trip and your new acquisition :D

No Chance

Leave your car for an hour and someone has nicked all your tools :angry: from experience.

Found a nice B&B in Malham, so will spend the night/day in the Dales.

Looking forward to it !

Malham is very nice! Been there on several geology field trips, staying in the old farmhouse by any chance?
