The weather forecast for the West (Skipton) doesn't look great, how would folks feel about heading East as an alternative.

Sticking with the Ice Cream Parlours theme,
could go to the Groovy Moo in Malton, https://www.facebook.com/groovymoo,
Mr Moo's at Skipsea, http://www.mrmoos.co.uk/,
ending up at The Scrap Box (Fish & Chips) near York, http://www.thescrapbox.fish/.

Just over 100 miles in a BC riding time of 3 hours, plus ice creams and fish & chips.

I'm hopefully in, but will see what it's like this side of Skipton in the Morning 😫
Is it Morrisons Wetherby for breakfast again 😄 ?

All being well, I'll be at Morrisons Wetherby for a 10:30 departure.

Will confirm in the morning before setting off around 09:00.

Perhaps those attending could update with a "nowcast" from their local, plus an ETA.
