Without giving too much away I was wondering how people would feel if I organised a little something to do on our last night since it’s our anniversary tour and last for a few years... call it a reminisce of the years :idea: I should also add not to take away from any of the pre-planned activities we already do. Can’t remember what night we do the quiz lol

One space left (Room) for next years HBT. Get your name down before it’s gone.

Be great to have another full house for the anniversary tour. It’s been an amazing trip over the years and the 2019 one I’m sure will be just as good if not better.

One space as William mentioned is one room so book the time off and join in the fun c’mon, c’mon, c’mon you know you want to ...

If you want to see what’s happened in the past check out the pervious photos, write ups, etc from previous tours.

As Carlsberg would say “ We don’t do the HBT but if we did it still couldn’t be as good as this ...”

Is this hopefully a mistake?

Is this hopefully a mistake?Just for winter, IIRC they always close for the winter

[DigitalLemming]

The team rooms have closed, but the B&B will reopen in the spring as normal.


Please note as of 5th November 2018 we closed our Tea Rooms due to a change in direction. We want to thank all of our customers, friends and Grainaryites for visiting us over the years.

That's a pity the tea room has closed, hopefully the new direction keeps the Grainary as we know it.

Hi William,

Presume that the Lion is the place on the Moors that we stop at for lunch?
I normally only have a sandwich there, as I’m stuffed from the Grainary Breakfast! [emoji4]
So I’d rather not order a proper meal now, if that’s ok?
Hope I can order a sandwich on the day.

Grainary for me:

Pate
Steak Pie
Ice cream

Thank you very much!

Like T, we are normally quite full from brekkie so Davy usually has baked potato and I usually get a Brie starter.. So we will just hopefully do this again.

Lion Inn:
Fish & chips.

The Grainary:
Potato & leek soup.
Fish Pie.
Ice cream sundae.

There’s no way I could manage more than a single course at The Lion Inn ‘cos a Grainary breakfast and then burgers there at night would normally be more than enough for me just on their own.
[emoji4]
I s’pose that I could try to drink more at night to wash it all down though...


Sent from Yorkshire wi an hint o’ sarcasm.

Scrap the orders for The Lion Inn as this was to make it easier for them as they have another large party in around the same time that we will be there. But as this seems to not be what everyone wants we will revert to the normal menu and take our chances.

See? I’m taller than you think!

Home now and washing vast deposits of Yorkshire off the car. What a fantastic few days, and how quickly they went... Firstly I wanted to repeat what we’ve all been saying, a HUGE Thank You to Clan Harper for all their usual hard work, and all the extra which went into the Awards Night. Thanks to Davy for his excellent quiz, but seeing as how I’ve obviously lost my mojo, I’m requesting 70s Prog Rock and Military History rounds next time! Sorry Cat, almost forgot the excellent and quite vicious B... Bingo!

So good to see everybody again, it’s as if we stopped the clock after HBT 4 and just picked right up again where we left off. Magical. Lovely to meet some new faces, including a very small one! Also very glad Malcolm & Sioban were able to join us via the internet if not in person. That was the only ‘minus point’ in this year's tour... Next year folks, all present and correct!

Sad that this is our last time at the Grainary, which was the perfect location for our annual ‘Family Holiday’, but times change and I’m sure everybody will agree that it’s ultimately the PEOPLE who make the memories, and we can make more wherever we are. Hope everyone gets home safe and sound, Love & Peace to all.

ps Stone Chip Update: 4 new ones! Can’t think of a better way to collect them, it’s a Badge of Honour!

Well said and couldn’t agree more.



For once the weathers didn’t get the message that we where visiting, but it didn’t dampen the spirits and I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say it was a great time full of the usual laughs.

Big thanks to the Harper’s for the organisation and keeping us all in line, not an easy job. Special thanks to Megan for the awards night, I know how much effort you put into that and it really was brilliant (and no I’m not just saying that cos I got an award...).

Thanks Davy and Cat for the quiz and bingo, interesting twist this year on the quiz to keep things fresh, must remember and bribe the quizmaster next time for a suitable round.

Special mention for the smallest member of the NMS family, no not Elfman, but wee Arwen, hardly heard a peep from her, such a smiley wee one. I’m sure she’s going to grow up and be a racing driver, so another lassie in your life Ali that’ll be quicker than you ;)

Cracking photos Andrew, so I’ll let you off with the ‘small’ remark! (It’s also true). I’m always hopeful somebody’s going to start using that ‘Taller/Slimmer’ lens in my photos - and not the mirrors in the Scarborough Fair entrance hall...

Just realised I entirely forgot about the weather!!! Proof that it’s what we did rather than the conditions we did it in. Also must mention Christine’s “Half an hour” comment about our Rob - this year’s “Oooh Matron!” moment, taking its place alongside Malcolm’s all-time classic ‘Tranny Incident’! Memories...

[Twisterboy]

Cracking pics Andrew, Scarborough’s waves looked a bit wild, but looks like a good time had by all.

Love it!! Brilliant photos, love all the photo’s that are captured without people realising

[MINI William]

A huge thank you to each and everyone of you for making another very memorable HBT. The weather wasn’t the best but we didn’t let it dampen our spirts. Yes it may be our last year at The Grainary but it will definitely not be our last Tour.

Ill get get some pictures posted later and have a look at the videos I’ve gto.

Many thanks to Family Harper, Davy & Cat for all of the hard work that you have yet again put into this years HBT.
Malcolm & Siobhan you were sadly missed and I did raise a bottle or 10 for you both.

The weather was a tad inclement but that did not dampen anyone’s spirits.
Apologies for losing my driving “Mojo” on Wednesday morning but I’d like to think that I made up for it in the afternoon.

I had so many ideas for some great video footage but sadly those will have to wait until the next time.

Just want to say thank you for a brilliant week... Enjoyed every minute of it and met some great people. Thanks so much to everyone - especially Brian and Christina and William and Megan - for making me feel so welcome. Looking forward to whatever is in the works for next year [emoji16]

[EcosseGP]

Well all I can really do is echo the comments made by everyone else so far. It was a slightly different tour this year with everyone looking forward to “The Oscars” and it didn’t disappoint. An excellent evening and a lot of laughs, tears and memories. I don’t want to repeat what I said on the evening as it’ll have folk in tears again ... but thank you to all those involved in making it another great trip.
Congratulations to all those that won an award ... and hats off to Pete who was this years quiz winner with William a very close second.
A massive thanks to The Grainary and the staff again for all their hard work and it’s been a great 5 years. Who knows what next year will bring but fingers crossed something can be sorted ...
Some excellent photos posted already and I’ll try and get some uploaded as soon as I can (work permitting). Thanks to each and every one of you for your company and “until we meet again, who knows where, who knows when ... “

Like everyone else has said, another fantastic few days at HBT5.

Thank you so much to Brian and Christina for all their organising and hard work.

The highlight of the trip has to be Megan’s award ceremony (not just because I won two awards lol). The effort put in was phenomenal and very much appreciated, was just a fab night and as Davy said, full of laughter and tears.

Malcolm and Sioban, as others have said you were sorely missed, it was lovely to keep in touch while we were there though. Hopefully Malcolm will be back to full fitness soon [emoji3590]

The weather didn’t dampen our spirits, and didn’t stop us from doing anything, the usual laughs and carry on every day.

Thank you to The Grainary, nothing is too much trouble for them and I for one will be sad not to be there next year.

Lastly, how lovely to have wee Arwen with us this year. She is an absolute angel and I loved all my cuddles.

Roll on next year whatever it may bring....
(Sorry not to put any photos up, I’ll do so when I have a spare few hours lol. Or get Davy to do it as I’m sure I must do it wrong as it takes sooooo long)
