HERTFORDSHIRE HILLBILLY RUN


SUN 1st JUNE 2008

A few of us from East Coast Mini Club are organising a summer run in Hertfordshire and a blast round some of the best lanes the county has to offer?

Meeting point will be the A1 (J 10) services at Baldock at 10.00am for a 10.30 kick off.
The run is a circular tour and will also finish here.

Baldock Services
A1/A507 Radwell
Baldock
SG7 5TR

The start point has plenty of facilities including a McDonalds if you fancy getting there early for a spot of breakfast. There's also a Shell petrol station on site if you need to top up with V-Power

The distance is about 70 miles in the morning with a pub lunch.

The lunch stop will be here plus there's a Shell garage next door if you need to top up again!

The Chequers
Watling Street
Redbourn
St Albans
Hertfordshire
AL3 7AD

In the afternoon there will be another 30 mile run back to Baldock.

You are most welcome to do part or all of the run. The lunch stop is about 5 minutes away from the M1 for those that may need to shoot off early!

I'll confirm a rough route nearer the time but everyone taking part will receive a copy of the run notes (just in case you get lost)

So who's coming....?

We'll need to sort out the catering at The Chequers...."I ordered chip's, as in more than one chip".

And I'll be there as long as I don't have to drive behind that girl who's car smells of chip fat and sound's like a taxi?

Noise? Check! Those pesky petrol MINIs have the good ol' farmer rattle going on too

Lack or power? Errr, with the same torque as an S, that would be a no then

Nice try Paul, nice try

When I said "lack of power" I was refering to my Bitsofmushi L200 which does the 0 to 60mph in a yawning 17.8 seconds!

Did you know that diesel turbo's are very tweakable you know......?

Ohh i'll be tweaking it soon if its not careful tweaking it with my foot against its bodywork
