North East Herrington Country Park

[JAGMAN]

Proposed North East Meet, Sat 17th February 10.00am

Any takers or interest in meeting at Herrington Country Park

The venue is two mins West of A19 / A183 Junction and sits in the shadow of Penshaw Monument ( the large Greek Style Folly on the hill )

Plenty of car parking and dog walking space. Lots of room for kids to run wild.
.
Plus Large cafe / tea rooms / Garden centre adjacent to the Park or pleasant stroll up to the
Monument for stunning views of South Tyneside and Sunderland ( if that’s possible )

We will pop along to see your Elgrands and have a catch up (oh and return your NC500 book, Peter).
Haven’t got a van available to come in, so it’s the little Kia again.

I will have a couple of E51 bits to sell too:
- Exterior wrap around black out cover for screen and two front door windows
- front grille
- see what else I find in the garage may be some camping kit if I can fit it in the little Kia

Open to offers, all proceeds go to my van conversion kitty

 

[Magnu]

Put me down for this one.
Here's a link for the park

The park has been busy this weekend and all hard standing car parks were virtually full by 10:20 this morning.
The café and toilets are in the white buildings by the top car park.
The middle and lower car parks don't have any facilities.
The grassed parking area is currently closed. There was some standing water in the middle and lower car parks today.

Shame but catch up later Kev,
My van is coming together but there is always the mess to start such as cutting out panels, seats out for reupholstering

 

[dognero]

Bit of a clean ready for tomorrow

 

[jamson72]

Not going to make tomorrow unfortunately, stuck with taxi duties for the eldest.

 

[sg66]

Just noticed this, I would have called down had I not been working.

 

[Charliez13]

Hi guys I can't make today, the Elgrand is in getting stainless exhaust fitted.

 

[dognero]

We are all down the bottom carpark

 

[Magnu]

Good to see people again.
I think we should try this location again when the weather is better. We could then park on the top grass field which is next to the amenities.

The constant churn of cars being parked was doing my head in but the mobile coffee van was a welcome site.
