2018 Wynyard Hall Run
15th April Report by Mike Cowan, Photographs Dave Simpson
Arrival at the start was rather disturbing there was a strange glow
coming from the sky. We have never seen anything like it before, at
least not for a while.
Yes, the sun was shining and with cars just out of hibernation they all
looked stunning in front of the 18th century Wynyard Hall.
Twenty cars were out for a spring jaunt which maybe turned out to be
more of an endurance test for not only cars but drivers and navigators
alike. That said with the sun out and temperatures on the up it was time
to "Keep Calm and go topless”.
Yes, the roofs came down and the smiles were wide and why not it's been
a long winter.
Along with my nagging navigator we headed to the hills to check that all
was well. It was only after we had been there for an hour that I
realized there was no phone signal. We then got word of a gaggle of
members had stopped in Stokesley for a comfort break, so we headed back
down the run and quickly found all but one.
We toured round and then from out of the back of the high street we
spotted the missing one so all was well. Or so we thought. Sadly I later
learned it had refused to start. After an hour it had fired up and all
was well but quite rightly he headed straight home. This was after he
tried to call me but yes you guessed it we were out of reach.
The finish was at the Sutton Arms at Elton and it was a welcome site. We
were well served with a proper Sunday lunch. The perfect end to the
start of the summer’s activities.
