ABRs "Ecky Thump" Rally 2025

[Steve T]

Wandered onto some new to me turf last week – North Yorkshire Moors to be precise, for the Ecky Thump rally organised by a very nice man over on the ABR forum.

Based here . . .

With memorable local sites that many will remember from a certain TV series

The little "blob" in the distance is Fylingdales sneaky beaky radar site . . . sh1te photo cos it was getting near "dark-O-clock"!

Local steam train and beer festival (based around the train stations) saw the rails full all day of old lunkers and puffers . . . and some steam trains as well !

Typical Yorkshire – waste not want not . . .

Me, I went a wandering to view some other local attractions and then some trails

Wandered along the coast, taking in some views . . .

Whitby was mobbed . . . even on a Friday, so didn’t get any fish & chips , just this arty photo of some flash apartments . . .

Finally the camp site and the hoards. Around 12-14 machines when I left the site of Friday morning. Over 60 by the time I got back from my wanderings later the same day!

Good event, well organised by Steve, with catering for the "pig roast" done by a man named John - well done both of you

Nice. I remember some of those views, goathland and the station from the national in rosedale in 2010. Or was that 11?

Lovely area.
I have a picture of Geoff and me outside the "Aidensfield Arms " I will try to find it later
We were inside too, but it was too early for a pint -- not for us, but for the licensing laws
