    No I do not currently volunteer
    Not sure if its any help but I think she ran a number of tours (including the one I was on) in 1988 with just a headboard saying 'Mallard 88' (as in 1988) on it, which may be the headboard on these pictures. If I recall correctly the tour I was on was something like a York circular out to Newcastle then over to Carlisle down the S&C and back to York via Leeds so cannot be this one.
