Maybe, could do, think about it BTW thanks mate for doing the sweeping today and making sure every one was en route BUT did you have to nick half of the Zeds at the Huntley A40 Traffic Lights?? you caused total confusion

Well we made it back to Gloucester in one piece.. lol.. To be honest we got fed up being so slow behind some bloke in a sliver Z3M...

Hmmmm I believed I was threatened to keep within the speed limits plus there was no Yaris to race with

Great day Niall - All your hard work and detailed planning and numerous dry runs is appreciated. You did a fantastic job.

The weather was pretty dire on the trip down but magically, the rain stopped, skies cleared and it was sunshine and blue sky for most of the day - Turned out to be a lovely perfect autumn day.

What a fantastic route too. A nice pace with time to take in the wonderful scenery. Thanks to for the caterers. Having 30+ people turn up want food at the same time can't be easy. It was very tasty and lovely and hot which isn't always the case.


Here's a few photos including some of the unexpected interlopers at Tintern Abbey.

Thanks Steve. I didn't do many today - too busy talking
You've got a pretty good record of the whole day yourself.

Here's a couple more - but in mono.

Thanks to Niall ( @NODZED ) for all his efforts in organising todays run. It was our first trip out with fellow Zedders, and it was a very enjoyable day. We met some lovely people and had some great food too. We will be back again. Thanks again Phil and Linda.

We had a great day. We definitely will be back. Hopefully I will notice the event before the actual day next time, so we can be there from the start.

A big thank you to Niall @NODZED for organising today. Not easy to organise routes that will cover every eventuality. The weather was great for this time of year considering Christmas is 10 weeks today Ho Ho Ho. The photos uploaded are great and so many of them. Met a lot of people that I haven't met before,as they say, strangers are just friends you haven't met yet.

What a great day out you've all had. So pleased that the weather came good in the end, better that way around. Great show of pictures, thank you all for sharing. Would've made a nice birthday present but maybe I'm just being greedy !! Did manage to escape for an hour in my Z this afternoon in the sunshine though.

Tony.
