I have heard on the grape vine that a number of engines are roading there on friday too, i believe there is a showmans and a wagon coming from scarborough, there could be a couple coming from potto on the road, and there is 3 full size and 3 half size heading there from thirsk.

Always a good rally, just hope the weathers right.

Cheers

Hi everyone may be visiting saturday anyone know if any turn offs from A1 affected by road works.
Will be travelling south from Durham, normally take 3rd turn off for thirsk from A1 then via thirsk industrial estate and up sutton bank to helmsley.

Hi, Turn off on A1 to A168 to Thirsk is open, just watch it because there is no slip road.
