Cars, Camper Vans, Motorhomes & Caravans
Once upon a time, way back when it all started and we were all young fit and healthy, our mantra was … No Cars, No Vans, No Pedestrians, No Excuses. And there really were NO excuses. Fast forward (or slow forward!) 25+ years and reality slowly hits home.
We as organisers, like you, our loyal customer, begin to realise that for one reason or another we can no longer ride as often as we would like, or in some cases not at all any more.
Does this make us any less of a biker? Does this mean we can’t party any more?
Of course it doesn’t!!! Providing you or your partner hold a motorcycle licence, you are able to purchase a vehicle pass for either your car, campervan/ motorhome or caravan.
All blue Badge holders are eligible for a concessionary CAR pass, but must prebook online.
For details on booking please call 0800 988 3199.
BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE CAN RIDE!
About...
Borne from an Identity Crisis
East Yorkshire Motorcycle Action Group needed to regain its identity of a rally running group after gifting The Farmyard Party to MAP Ltd.
1999, the first Into the Valley was held in a beautiful spot called Brubberdale between the villages of Fridaythorpe and Thixendale in East Yorkshire. With 500 riders attending the first rally, this increased to 3000 by moving the site to accommodate demand for the rally. With the rally being held on the first Bank Holiday of the year, sometimes at the end of April depending on the calendar, it can be cold, very cold! Occasionally, VERY occasionally, the temperature has been 25 degrees during the day.
MAP Ltd took Into The Valley under its wing as the rally got bigger because of the increasing liability on the organisers. In 2016 they eventually decided because of the unpredictable weather to move to sites with buildings that, if necessary, can be heated and has better road access. It’s still a rally with camping, bands, a comedy show, and a bike show, etc, but it now has the luxury of permanent heated infrastructure at Driffield showground.
