John has just reminded me that there's a Yorkshire Overland Gathering on 31st Mar/1st April, up in North Yorks.
Rather than spell it all out again, I'm sure John won't mind me copying his S2C post here (below in red)
Just had it confirmed by Brendan at 4x4O that this little do is happening the weekend after next:
'Yes YOG is still on for 31st March/1st April
Camping is at Cherry Tree Barn, Nawton which is approx 1 mile from Trek, have a look here [url]http://www.caravancampingsites.co.uk/no ... e.htm/[url] Camp site fees payable direct to campsite, costs are about £10/12
We will be providing light refreshments during the day at Trek FOC BUT (there is always a but) there will be a donation bucket for Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
Two navigational scatters have been arranged, just pick up a clue sheet and go. Tarmac based so should be non vehicle damaging as long as minor country roads driven with care. Some green lane routes will be marked on a map
We see this as a social gathering so that people can actually talk to Tim and Clare (Trek) Kev and Stuart (Mud) and Barbara and myself Brendan (4x4O), which at the main shows can be difficult. We will have some stock displayed so that if you want to compare for instance an Autohome to Howling Moon roof tent they will be alongside each other.
So costs to you you are fuel, food and beer plus campsite fees'.
Although clearly aimed at showcasing their products, it sounds like another excuse for some good craik to me with the usual excesses of alcohol and (Moroccan?) food. I have booked Fri, Sat and Sun nights for me, SWAMBO and the Rapido folding caravan at the campsite (01439771603) forgot to ask exactly how much though - doh - £8pn up according to the website.
cheers
