thehulkster699 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Hi guys. I've been a member of the FocusRSOC owners club for 4 years now, and in May I'll be handing over the keys of my latest RS with a heavy heart for the new WRX Sti as it's time for a change. I've been involved over the years with organising a few RS club days, and was wondering what the interest would be among Subaru owners for a Whitby day, and a Buttertubs run day (visiting Tan Hill - the highest pub in Britain) I've always enjoyed the getting together/meeting new owners, followed by a bit of sensible driving, enjoying the North Yorkshire scenery, and making passers-by smile at the convoy of performance cars going by. Would you all support something like this? 3
Gambit Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Sounds good to me mate. I will help publicise it best I can once dates and times have been sorted. Would be shocked if didn't get a bit of a turn out for it :) 1
Jay762 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Sounds good the NW region is doing pretty well with meets so far, would be great to add another
mfnick Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Definitely!! Especially if you've got the new STi then too, be good to have a nosey ;) I've had a driving day around those areas in a group once before and it was one of best days out I've had. Some awesome roads, little to no speed cameras or traffic and great scenery. Count me in. 1
Gaulson Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I'm up for this, I have driven Buttertubs a few times. Not been much passed there though so would be interesting
Gambit Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 My Missus loves Whitby. And I know I've been to Buttertubs but was along while ago.
Gaulson Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Yeah don't think I would go there unless I had a place to stay seeing as it's opposite coast to me ;)
Gambit Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 It's not to far from me I'm on the right side anyway and it is possible to drive there and back in one day for me without any hassle
tom_gr7 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I'm interested, a Saturday/sunday afternoon would be best for me though work 8am through 5-6pm mon-fri
Gambit Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 2 half hours for me 100 miles to Whitby just had a look :)
tom_gr7 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 2 half hours for me 100 miles to Whitby just had a look :) I'm looking at 56miles, so If I can make the date I'm in :) I've got a mate, with a white Peugeot 207 GTI, that would like to come. Would everyone be fine with this?
Gambit Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Not at all ;) Fine with me I've not said I will definitely go, all depends this year on other factor's :(
mfnick Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I'd say the more the merrier. It's about 2hours away for me too. Last time I went for a drive along Buttertubs and the surrounding area we started off in Carlisle which is about 3 hours from me. Was out driving for around 12 hours straight lol. It was well worth it then so an hour shorter journey to the start suits me fine. :)
Gambit Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Anything that isn't a scoob has to sit at the back or front don't want to break the chain :D 1
Gaulson Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Would guys be travelling to buttertubs then? Id happily meet for a bit round there, wont be travelling to whitby though. Not this time anyway
tom_gr7 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 lol i had google butter tubs, a bit too far for me I'm afraid :( I'm game for Whitby though,
Gambit Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 If I end up going Whitby would be more ideal. depends on how close to summer holidays also with Whitby does my head in when it's busy :D
thehulkster699 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 To be honest guys, the drive up to Tan Hill, followed by the Buttertubs is a lovely drive. Normally after the Tubs comes a drive into Hawes before driving back along some cracking roads to Leyburn heading back to the A1 at Leeming. The meeting point is in Richmond, not far off the A1, in a big Supermarket carpark, where we then set off towards Tanhill by driving up to a place called Reeth. It's the sort of day that doesn't need daft/fast driving as the scenery is so stunning.
Gaulson Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 You are not wrong there, heading back over the Buttertubs from Hawes is one of the best views once the valley opens out on the right just after the tubs :D
tom_gr7 Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 anything ever come of this? I'd still be interested in going :) 1
mfnick Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I'm still up for it. Although timing could be a issue for me now depending on when it is. Going to be tight for money for a little while.
