The Bamburgh Run is an event held annually for motorcycles with flat tanks and also for post-1930 motorcycles with girder forks. The routes consists of a road run of either sixty or eighty miles around north Northumberland, England and sometimes pop over the border into southern Scotland. It was instigated in 2015 by Mike, a member of both the VMCC Reivers Section and the Marston Sunbeam Club and Register, to promote the use of old motorcycles in the beautiful Northumberland countyside.
For the first two years, we began the run inside the grounds of Bamburgh Castle. However, as there was also a running race taking place there on the same day, we had to look for an alternative venue. The Ford and Etal Estates came to our rescue, and were happy to hire out their village hall in the picture postcard village of Etal. This provided the perfect setting for the start and finish of the Bamburgh Run, as we were able to cater for the riders before and after the run.
The start of the run at Etal, 12th June 2022.
