(31 Jan 2016, 9:59 am)ifm001 Except for last year, Wilkinson Travel of South Shields used to attend each year, taking their 1981 Tiger coach, but it was off road last year.

I have tweeted them to ask if attending this year, but no reply as yet, and nothing on their website yet either.

Two years ago when I went to the Kirkby Stephen rally, it took me two and a half hours to get to Bishop Auckland. I'd be interested in going with Wilkinson Travel, on the basis that I'd assume their pick-up would be a lot easier for me to get to from Sunderland than Bishop Auckland. A pick-up/drop-off in South Shields would be a one-hour round trip, as opposed to five hours to/from Bishop Auckland.

They brought their Leyland Tiger to the Seaburn Bus Rally last year - it looked like a well-presented coach with comfortable seating (which is exactly what you need when you're sitting on a coach for about two hours!)

Having said that, it would depend on the cost of the coach. I should have my car by then, so it may be more practical for me to just drive over (especially if another enthusiast wanted to go halfies on petrol!)
