The date has to stay as the 11th Sept. guys as others who have already said ok to that cant make the 4th I'm afraid.
I went out on my planned route today so have some mileage and estimated time for you so maybe it will be ok for you
ZTec and the party time??
Different route from last year, but a little of it will be the same! I have reduced the time and mileage so that it also may
be better for people who have to drive home later.
Start will be Sarn services, Bridgend. Jct. 36 M4 again, Hotel on site for anyone who stays over! Get there for 8:30 to leave at 9 am.
Mileage is about 125. Drive out for about 3 hrs. with a wee stop and Optional 1 hr. stop for chat and lunch.
Then I was home by just after 2:30
9am until 2:30 pm. so about 5/6 hrs. Includes lunch stop but as I say we could make that a half hour stop!
Some great scenery again for photo's and some twisty and some quickie roads too! :coolsteer) Sunshine has been ordered at no extra cost!
No worries Brian but we shan't be coming as we had already put our names for Tony's meet months ago for the 11th and don't want to miss it.
Hope it all go's as well as last year it was one of the best cruses we'd been on :).

The meeting point will be the same as last year, they have built a new services now on the site.
Exit M4 Jct. 36 and meet up at 9am to set off at 9:30 from the services car park, CF32 9SY.
There is a Days Inn adjacent to the services if anyone needs a nights stop a double is currently £60 and its the same M4 exit
and same post code but in a different car park.
Lets hope the weather will be as good as last year! :coolsteer)

Hi all, well not long now to our drive over the beacons I have asked for the same sunny conditions as last year!:rolleyes:
As said lets meet up at 9am at the Sarn services, CF32 9SY junction 36. where we have access to fuel and a coffee can be had before setting off at 9:30 sharp.
I did another run around the route today and noticed that the after lunch return drive some roads had slightly flooded area's so I have changed
from that run now to more accessible roads back! Bit shorter but that may be better for the longer travellers.

Usual courtesy applies, will you all keep the driver behind you in sight, if they drop out of view please slow up to wait and if we turn a corner hold back until they catch up so they see you turn and don't get lost!!
I have planned a wc stop along the way and another pub stop at about 12ish. there will also be a few photo pauses along the way!
After that we will be heading back and it should all be over by about 2:30 for your home runs.:thumbsup:

Bri.

We're heading for Welsh Wales tomorrow morning, staying with friends in Tenby and then meeting fellow Zedders for the Brecon ride out on Sunday. Last years run was great and we're really looking forward to this one too

Really sorry to have to pull out at such late notice. Jill's back is playing up and she says she doesn't feel much like sitting in the car all day.
I thought about coming on my own but don't want to leave her here alone.

Hope you all have a great day

No problem Garry, its understandable that, hope she gets better soon. We ended up with 9 cars and the weather was kind to us.
