North Yorkshire Moors

One of the great things about working shifts is having days off in the week, on the other hand getting weekends off to join the odd zroadster cruise is a nightmare.

Anyway spent the day on the North Yorks Moors - virtually traffic free (most of the holiday makers have headed home

)

Sun shone all day

- only saw a couple of Z's, both on the B1248 at Bainton, an 'R' atlanta blue (hood up

) and no wave on the way up this morning and a black (top down) with a wave this evening on the way home.

Me thinks a connection there - top down means a wave, hood up unlikely?

Best bit of the day? Open roads, glorious weather, superb scenery.......

Nope........my in-laws, both 78 years of age, are staying with us at the moment so I took them out for a quick run in the Z before we went out.

To see the look of glee in my father in laws eyes, then listening to the mother in law 'screaming like a girl' as we sort of 'trundled'

around and the excitement in their voices as they compared 'notes' at home afterwards made my day

I too took advantage of the fantastic weather and Zeeeeed over to Yorkshire today. It was so exhilarating driving on the "A" roads, roof down, wind blowing through my hair!!!
I only saw two other Zs . I waved to another Silver one on the way out of Blackpool, no wave back. Then a Blue one near Burnley and got a very strange look but no wave, they BOTH had their roofs down .

Glad you had a great time too

Looks like my 'hood up = no wave' - 'hood down = wave' theory is dead in the water then

When I take my classic Mini Cooper out for a blast I always get either a wave, flash of headlights, beep of the horn - or all three when I meet another Mini

I was also on the hills of North Yorkshire. Not many Zeds on the top of Pen-y-Ghent though.
It has been a glorious few days but unfortunately the Zed had to stay a home as i still haven't mastered getting two people, a labrador and three days luggage into it.

That looks like the A59 atop Blubberhouses Moor?

My dad loved Zippy and quite often said "eeeee love this is a nice car". My mum hadn't ever been in him until recently when I dropped her off at Bingo

unfortunately I had to get out to help her out, her knees are not what they were but she enjoyed the wind in her hair.

I then wondered if that would be me in 20yrs time

Given the great forecast for this week I'm hoping to make the Evo triangle and Snowdonia on Thursday with hopefully holiday free traffic as the kids will be back at school

That will depend on whether you play Bingo

Lass! Gill is quite definitely not a bloke.

The border is between Diggle and Marsden. They keep the yarkshire lot out by charging a twopenny toll.

Cheers R.

Not officially, perhaps. But most people who have lived in Saddleworth since pre-1974 will tell you that it is in Yorkshire.

Well that's another nice mess I've gotten into!

I didn't actually say the photo was in Yorkshire or Lancashire. I said I'd been to Yorkshire, in fact I went to Slaithwaite which is definitely in Yorkshire and was on my way towards Saddleworth when I took the piccy. Whether it was in or out of Yorkshire isn't relevant really unless as a "man" I got totally confused as to my whereabouts

Anyway this Yorkshire lass born and bred in Lancashire loved every minute of the day !
Thanks Rob for your confirmation of which gender I belong to

It's the same as I am a Lancashire lass through and through but "officially" I live in Greater Manchester.... but I always put Lancashire for my address

You sure have

But you said it in reply to a thread about a day on the Yorkshire Moors
And you included a photo having described the A roads of Yorkshire
And now your trying to wriggle out of it

And naturally we aren't going to let you off that easily

And you got us so confused, I even mistook your gender - apologies again

(PS - I still think it's the A59 at Blubberhouses )

There's nothing wrong with that.
It's consistent
Both are on the wrong side of the Pennines

Loving that site... thank you..

I realise Titan is being pedantic, but then a great drive over to Yorkshire had to involve travelling from Lancashire and back to Lancashire .
At which point I actually crossed the border ,whether it was before or after I took the photo doesn't really change the fact that I enjoyed my drive on "A" roads to and from Yorkshire...

Of course Titan can think it's Blubberhouses if he wants to , in which case it would be YORKSHIRE!!!!
