Starting in Etal village on the Ford and Etal Estates, the bikes and their riders will assemble on the street from around 9.30am, creating a most spectacular sight and sound.

Visitors are welcome to come along and chat with the owners before they are waved off from 10.30am, and returning between 1.30pm and 3pm. Part of the route passes along the road between Seahouses and Bamburgh Castle.

The event is organised by the Ashington-based Reivers Section of the national Vintage Motor Cycle Club, together with the Marston Sunbeam Club and Register.
