Route Yet?

Route Yet?

Just come anyway Tec. I know why you're holding back, but it will be great to see you there mate.

 

[mwpe]

Route Yet?

We will find out when we get there.

 

[littlefeller]

It's never too late welcome aboard, and yes there will be places where others can join us if 10 is too early, I will be posting the route with an approx time scale to make this easy.

 

[Wilko58]

Add me please - supposed to be working but done my back and don't think I'll be fit by then!

 

[littlefeller]

route all done, need to add a time scale for waypoints for any later arrivals. total route time is just shy of 3 hours, with the customary stop off at Bourton-on-the-water for fish and chips we should be back at Toddington around 3.30-4.00 will try and upload the tomtom file, also got it in tyre.

 

[Tracy Dee]

3 hours run will there be a shorter run for people that have an hour or 2 before even getting to the Cotswolds.
Just a thought. Thank you for organising the event takes time and lots of effort.

 

[littlefeller]

it can always be shortened, how many need a shorter run?

If possible, thanks

 

[littlefeller]

time is a guesstimate as it was 2h 41min according to Tyre, i added a bit on just in case we need to slow/wait for anyone (which can/will happen after junctions) but if you factor in everyone's antics on fish hill it may well be shorter , it could quite easily be shortened by about 30min if need be, there will also be a break in the middle for food and a leg stretch (also gives us the chance to catch-up with one-another)

 

[Nodzed]

we kick off at 10 (gives the hotel/b&b stay overs a chance to actually get up after spending half the night talking zeds) and run till around 4, i will be posting a link for sat navs so anyone who want to take part but has limited time are welcome to join/leave when ever they need to, we will make a stop-off on route for a leg stretch and food, i think a couple left at this point last year (around 12-1) im still working on the route, trying to avoid traffic lights as there a real pain when your trying to keep a group together, busy road T junctions can also be just as bad.

@littlefeller Jason as lead car try and keep it under 60mph average this year mate

 

[Jack Ratt]

I'll be driving to and from Cornwall but I'm up for a 3hr stint.

I've still got plenty staying power

 

[PHILIP BAXTER]

3 Hours for me please. 4, if it's sunny.

 

[Nodzed]

I'm only an hour away so as long as it takes suits me Jason. How about a time trial up Fish Hill we can get @mid life crisis to bring the Yaris to set a target time, we'll do it Top Gear style.

 

[mwpe]

3 hours is fine for me, I am only a couple of hours away.

interesting idea

 

[Mint]

3 hours is fine as we're staying local

 

[pgunter]

3 hours good for me too

 

[Tracy Dee]

Shorter if possible but will go with the general flow as we have 2 hours circa 100 miles to Cotswolds.
I guess for some of you with autos and bigger engine models don't mind a very long day driving.

 

[Jack Daw]

Tracy,
I'm with you, it's two hours plus drive for us, therefore we may return after lunch stop, it's our first group drive so we will attempt to keep up.
