The second summer expedition was organised rather later than the first. With a short deadline, a few UK options were floated, before we decided on [[Rowan de Pomerai]]'s suggestion of going to... Yorkshire! Rowan was joined by [[Jonathan Bufton]], [[Kate Rushworth]], [[Kev Larkin]], [[Sarah Leese]], [[Tom Hughes]], [[Dave Baker]] and on the trip to The Deep [[Richard Ash]], [[Rob Humphrey]] and [[Cally Nixon]]. The locality was actually a very good idea as we saved money by being able to sleep in our own beds every night, and saw bits of the region we'd never got around to - such as a day in Scarborough, visits to the ''York Dungeon'', Bradford's ''National Museum of Photography Film and Television'', ''The Deep'' in Hull, York Minster, a boat trip down the Ouse and the York Brewery. The trip to Bradford began in confusion about whether we could actually travel due to the 7/7 terrorist attacks on the London transport system. | The second summer expedition was organised rather later than the first.

Highlights included Kev making a sandcastle out of a Tony Blair rubber mask, Sarah's monologue to camera slightly worse-for-wear at the end of the first night's drinking games and Rowan's spoof Parkinson-style chat show at the end of the week. | Highlights included Kev making a sandcastle out of a Tony Blair rubber mask, Sarah's monologue to camera slightly worse-for-wear at the end of the first night's drinking games and Rowan's spoof Parkinson-style chat show at the end of the week. | ||
