OK,
As you are aware members on here give up their time to organise great drives out often giving up a lot of days sorting routes and venues. It seems that a few regular people always sort the runs out with the help of a few who offer to lead groups.
So the challenge is..
Who is up for stepping forward to help ? Offering to lead a group would help make these days a lot easier to organise.
Take the New Forest this year 2018. I have the need for another two group leaders as numbers are increasing on a weekly basis. Being a group leader is really easy, you basically keep and eye on the route, often now on sat nav files and the group behind you. Experienced people know that you keep an eye for the last member of the group who should be running with his / her side lights on. You go at the pace of the slowest member of the group. If you feel the need to pull over to wait, then do so where it is safe to do. The last car also acts as a sweeper to make sure the group is running well.
The reason this has come about is that the numbers of a group that can easily be managed are 7 / 8 cars. Any more than this and it becomes a nightmare to keep together. So when we are reaching higher numbers we need more people to step up to the challenge and help the organiser. It would make it a much better day if this was all sorted well before the event.
So the New Forest.... 5 groups of 7 is only 35.. I need at least one more to step forward and also a spare that can help incase of any absent people. I can then add the people on the reserve list to the run. I am organising a dry run for this run, so please if you can, PM me.
As for the other runs on here, please do ask the person organising the run if they also need help with groups. It would make it a much nicer day for us all.
I am looking at adding all my routes to myrouteapp as it seems to be the best way to share.
Thank you.
Paul Gunter.

I think that is the modern lingo
there is a lot of stuff to be done for a cruise and any small gesture is welcome i was certainly glad of the offer to help if needed to split into groups for last years Scottish run.
