My big daft northern adventure!

So, if all goes to plan I fly out of Newqay Saturday first thing to Newcastle, get picked up by one of our good MMA folk and buy a Fox Mustang that I've been discussing behind the scenes for some time.
Then drive to York and stay overnight with my brother, leave early Sunday morning and head for Shakey.
Do Sunday at Shakey sleeping in the car cos I can't get a tent as hand luggage on the plane

Have a few beers with the boys and girls and head back to Cornwall on Monday arvo
Weather looks triffic, what could go wrong

Likewise Ali, always like getting to Shakey. We should use it whilst it's still there.

Recovery cover paid up, Miles??

That could save you a ton of fuel money!

Good luck, I am sure it will all work out fine and be a road trip to remember.

We need pictures too!

Pete, quirky but it's 450 miles back from Newcastle or 450 return from Nqy to Shakey. Just a typical weekend out to watch racing

Nowhere sell a cheap tent on a Sunday enroute to Shakey?

Pictures when you get it home

I thought about a cheap tent, but it's a hatchback, plenty of sleeping space
Dave 'H' indeed

Sounds like a great plan, the makings of a good weekend

Hope the weather is due to change Miles, it's pi$$ing down up here at the moment.

Really? Been great here today; had two great surf sessions in warm sunshine.
I'll try to bring some of it with me.

Cheers guys, looking forward to it. Last time I visited the (relatively) far north was Saltburn on Sea for a surf trip about 25 years ago.

Shakey Sunday it is then.

Sounds like the makings of a great weekend Miles, new car, visit relatives, meet friends at shakey and drink beer.
Weather here is kind of ok at the minute, it's stopped raining now and starting to dry up.
