As I thought earlier in the week, I am unable to be at this now :'(

Have a great weekend all who are going to make it.

That's a blow Matt- I deliberately have not fiddled with mine, even though there are things that could do with attention, as things are too busy to allow for problems.

Gave mine a quick wash this morning and better put a bit of RainX on the screen given the latest forecast and the Limes 'leisurely' wipers.

See you all tomorrow.

Another 200 miles and I'm back home.

Many thanks to Chris for organising a superb weekend without it feeling in anyway regimented, being a great host and for providing top notch sausages!

Good to see the rest of you too! Sorry I had to bail this morning, but keeping to the spirit of things I stopped at the bottom of Sutton Bank, waited for a big enough gap in the traffic and then gave it some beans back up the hill before turning back around and heading south. Great fun, though the tourists at the viewpoint may not have agreed.

Where to next year?

Back home - just about- my fuel issue decided to turn up again about 5 miles from home so was like river dance on the pedals to keep it alight. Filter clear- but it only takes one grain I suppose.

A top weekend. Great to see everyone and thanks of course to Chris for his superb hosting and organisation. I thought Jacob did particularly well for a small bloke too!

I came up with a brainwave to improve refinement on trip back. The same upsetting of rucksack with zip open that produced the Betaboyz badge had also revealed a set of supersoft earplugs from my biking days. Hey presto- instant Bentley! The laugh was when I took them out when I got off the motorway - it sounded like the thing was coming apart. I seriously thought I had driven all the way with the door half open!

I will put my photos on Dropbox or something when I get a minute.

Once again, thanks and best wishes.

Team Trevi back home now too after a weekend total of 638 miles during which Trev didn't miss a beat. And the exhaust silencer stayed on  ;) ;D

I'll echo everyone else's thanks for Chris; thanks Chris for a superb weekend, for putting us up and putting up with us and for cooking us breakfast too  :D

A truly wonderful weekend with great company and great drives. I never realised North Yorkshire is so pretty  :D

I'll post photos soon, now it's time for coffee in my new Lancia mug  ;D .....

Some great shots there Theo and it looks like the weather stayed kind enough.

So pleased that you all enjoyed it and made it home safely. It was fun to see so many Betas blasting along 'my' roads and great to see the effort so many of you made to get to Yorkshire.  Theo has some great photos too - thanks Theo for getting them on the site so quickly and I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

If this works, my pics should be here. Flickr didn't seem to like the panoramic ones though.

My pictures of the weekend at http://s801.photobucket.com/user/Thotos/slideshow/Betameeta15?sort=9



Brilliant photos Theo. Watching the slideshow was like doing the weekend all over again, plus the bits I missed!

Will Neil or Theo be putting it, with a link to Theo's pics, on the LMC website?
