If anyone is in two minds about whether or not to head out for this, I'd suggest you go for it!

I missed the first running day the NNRG did, but I done last year's and it was a fantastic day out. We ran a scenic route from Bishop to Barnard Castle and back (via Bowes Museum). NNRG brought National 4710 along, with two other Nationals joining, in the form of YFY4M and WHH556S (REV01). Craig and Ian done a cracking job in organising the day from start to finish, and everyone that came along was made to feel very welcome, which was refreshing! I've no doubt that this year's will be equally as good.

Here's a shot I took at one of the photo stops last year:

For those that do go along, could I suggest you consider making a small donation to the NNRG and other preservationists? Whilst I know they'll never ask for anything, it can't be cheap running a bus around for hours on end, so I'm sure anything you can afford will be greatly appreciated.
