A further change to our running on the day. After A very busy weekend last week I have decide that 4710 wont be doing any runs on the shuttle.

Also due to parking arraignments after 2 runs on the shuttle 4855 will join the National's in the static lines.

Fuel is A expensive necessity.

That's a shame.

We'll probably get there about 1pm, this time (visited twice, last year, as we went to the botanic gardens after lunch, last time)

But this year, we're off to the farmer's arket at Wynyard hall before lunch, will eat some of our spoils, then head out for a leisurely wander, maybe a ride and maybe we'll actually talk to someone for a change. I did sort of introduce a couple of us to a few people at the metrocentre rally, but was greeted with tumbleweed.

I shall not be attending this one. I try and avoid doing too many rallies in the North East. Usually sticking to the main 3 which is Teesside Running Day, Metrocentre and Seaburn. I'm off to the Peak Park Rally in the Peak District.

They normally bring one or two.  They Dominate the Metrocenter but Durham Rally is Arriva territory normally (Out of the big 3 anyway)

I was a little disappointed by the event today - mainly due to the small turnout.

Whilst there was a notable improvement on parking arrangements with the static vehicles, the ones running out on shuttles didn't seem to be parked up very well at all. As there wasn't very many buses on the shuttle services today (with most being static), I felt as though the space could have been better utilised, with buses grouped together instead of just parked up.

Apparently there was a 10-minute frequency on the shuttles, but speaking to a few people today, some had to wait up to 30 minutes for one to turn up.

It appears to be a 15 minute frequency that is being run, if the waiting for 30 was what I said this morning, I was only waiting 30 minutes as I decided not to get on an IndiGo Solo to the site.

Have to agree on the poor attendance though, seems like there is a fair bit less than last year.

I'm still at the event.

I couldn't go due to Fathers Day, Though by what everyone's saying it doesn't sound like I missed much.

For various reasons, I decided to give this rally a miss this year. However I do intend on attending both the Whitley Bay and Seaburn events in July and August.

Yep, it was pretty quiet but a lot of visitors seemed to be on the shuttles.

Husband has been added to the nearly ran Jimmi over club, anyhowBig Grin Rather single mindedly focused on getting photos of the fairways bus with the comically large bumper, of course.
