Got almost 3 weeks off soon (again)...............
Friday 30th June  - Wednesday 25th July  

However, I have to do the following;
Airport Run. SWMBO, 'Small-Child' & in-laws, on Wednesday 5th
'Leafers At T'Pit' on the weekend of 8th/9th (probably attend Sunday?)
Great Yorkshire Show Tuesday 11th - Wednesday 13th  (Tuesday probably?)
Masham Steam Rally on Saturday 15th  & Sunday 16th (not decided)
Airport Collection (if I remember :lol:  :wink: on Wednesday 19th)

Weekend of 1st/2nd will be claimed by SWMBO
Saturday 22nd/Sunday 23rd is Billing


Might be free for a few mid-week runs around the county??, but hoping to fit in a 'Great North Road' road-trip along the Yorkshire sections.

Too much to do, too little time :wink:
