Tam Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 For those of us wimping out of camping does anyone have any recommendations for accommodation? I've looked at the list on the Harewood website but wondered if there was any inside info or preferences 🤔 We're probably staying on the Sunday night as well.  Must have secure parking for 7s (not trailering) and ideally bar/restaurant within 20 min walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenEvans Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I usually go to the Leeds/Bradford Airport Travel Inn but I'm easily pleased. It's only 15 minutes from Harewood and has one of those chain type pub/restaurants attached. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Ken, thank you I'm also easily pleased 😳 and will check with fellow travellers that it's OK with them . Tam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.cavanagh Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 20 min walk??? are you mad!! *eek* 😬 😬 2 min walk is more like it to beer/pints of chardonnay! *eek* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 😬 Ahem - Mr Caravanner. A point of order. I was not the drinker of pints of white wine 😳 That was a certain other lady sevener 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Kipper Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Tam We are booked in at the Jarvis Ramada in Wetherby for Saturday and Sunday. Looks to be cheap(ish) and cheerful. Have also stayed at the Travel Inn at Leeds/Bradford Airport. Even cheaper, good parking, and as Ken says, has a Harvester of similar attached.   Kipper Fun is not a straight line.

Tam Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 Thanks Kipper. Travel Inn booked for the Sat and Sun nights On the Sat in particular it will just be somewhere to crash out. It's going to be a busy weekend 😳 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Kipper Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Tam A busy weekend indeed which is why we have chosen to stay over Sunday and take a leisurely drive back on Monday 😬 Worked well when we did it for Pembrey. Kipper Fun is not a straight line.

Mrs Kipper Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Tam I've just realised that this means that you expect your car to be up and running by then Enjoy your holiday Mrs K Just read that Michael took the car to Spa . Presumably it will be with you on yor holiday as well  Edited by - Mrs Kipper on 25 Aug 2006 11:22:56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 Mrs Kipper It is and it will 😬 Vulcan got the new block machined and rebuilt the engine very quickly and she's back on the road  Michael is now somewhere south of Troyes on his way to meet me in Nice tomorrow  See you at Cadwell Tam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Kipper - if you want to know which pubs/ restaurants in Wetherby are worth a look, let me now, I spent my formative drinking years in Wetherby! Looking forward to seeing all of the Club championship runners at Harewood, I'll be there in the Harewood championship! If you're driving in from Wetherby, watch out for speed cameras in Collingham village. Apparently the mobile cameras were out on the morning of the last Harewood event. I didn't spot them but SWMBO did 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Kipper Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Greg We will be looking for somewhere cheap to eat within a very short walking distance from the hotel on both Saturday and Sunday evenings so if you have any suggestions that would be great I don't expect we will be in Wetherby very early on Saturday as we will be driving up after the Cadwell sprint - we may even have to stop for a bite to eat on the way. Thanks for the speed camera warning. Mrs K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 The nearest eatery to the Jarvis is ASK (Italian, not too expensive, get busy). Follow the A661 into town, over the river and left at the mini roundabout. For Fish & Chips there's the Wetherby Whaler - opposite ASK. For curry, there's a reasonable place if you again follow the A661 over the river but go straight on at the mini roundabout. I can't remember the name of the place but its on the left just after the Red Lion. The curry is good but the service is 'relaxed'.  For pub food, I'd go for the Swan & Talbot - again straight on at the mini roundabout, about 200 yards on the right after Boots. Whatever you do DON'T set foot in The Crown or The George and Dragon! Any other preferences, let me know I might be able to remember something!
