That's what I was worried about in view of the Air Show at Scampton Bill, so I kept in contact with their planning team to keep up with their road closures. We didn't lose a single person and everyone got fed in good time too.

Just a reminder what its all about... Just a few of the runs I have sorted. These things don't happen the weekend before, it takes a lot of work sorting these events out. That is SPA on two separate runs and I know have the details of the Track Safety manager and we talk on a regular basis via email. Its the same with BMW HQ UK and also now... at last Goodwood.

But by god they are great when it all goes well, but somethings like roads being closed are just in the lap of the gods.

@Pingu I am not going to say what I think to your comment.. but I can honestly say you have not been on one of my runs have you...

I think a few might have other ideas.. The point of this post is to get some others involved and share the fun that can be had by organising a satisfying day. May I suggest you try and run one yourself too, it might open your eyes a bit.
I agree that zroadster.net is not a "social" site. The link was not meant to create any controversy. It just shows that the problems have been around for ages, and what some of the solutions are.

I don't know if I've been on one of your cruises. I've been on so many. There is a common factor in every one. Not everyone knew what to do when something went wrong. To be honest, it makes for a fun time on the forum when people get lost - but the point is they shouldn't, and if they do, they should know what to do. How many post-cruise event threads have mention of someone getting lost and having to go home because they didn't have any contact details, or know where they were, or where they were going?

As to arranging cruises - I have arranged a few;).

There is a simple rule that will ensure that every cruise is a success - do not lose sight of the person behind you.

I'm happy to lead any cruises I'm on, but it's more fun being "tail-end Charlie":whistle:.

The point @Pingu is to get more people involved.. The more that can help out the better.

Spot on here. I try to get a nice, bright orange Lotus at the back of my group so Shirl can spot him back there.

Common sense is a great thing and most of us have it.

That belongs to the amazing Drone Flyer.. Rusty... Awesome guy and amazing with the drone. The epic shoot of the tour of Europe last year was just one of the greatest videos I have seen shot by a drone. Almost as good as a Top Gear one. Its a long video but well worth watching it. Great memories.. Watch it if you dare... you will be off to Europe tomorrow.. Its addictive.
