Plenty of members travel from the Northeast, Newcastle, Durham and Teeside. About 1 - 1.5 hours drive.

I'd estimate it at 60 miles min. it takes a good hour with an average of 60mph ;)

it's 84 miles from mine in Durham going via the A1

it's not the size that matters but the quality that counts

It's always quality when you're in a Lotus. 8)

I would think the gang from near Lincoln have one of the longest trips. 8)

For anyone new coming along, it might be worth pointing out that decent food is available (nothing too fancy, this is Yorkshire, remember) now we seem to have a settled management team at the Buckles. Suggest you get there early if planning to eat. :)

New faces always welcome! :D

:D York and Norway are roughly the same distance, as the crow flies, for me.
