Having just returned from the Cotswolds and the excellent run organised by Soggy, Washy and Co. I would like to guage possible interest for a run in Devon/Somerset which I am more than happy to organise.

Today I spoke to my local dealer who has indicated they would be prepared to assist (maybe lay on a BBQ??) along with a couple of other local businesses that may well be in a position to contribute.

Given that this will mean a long drive for many members my initial thoughts are arrive on Saturday for a Sunday Run.

The question is would there be any takers??

I will let this thread run for a while whilst I see just how much interest there is. If you are interested can you please indicate so in a quick reply along with any suggestions eg. campsite etc.

So, are you up for it???

Oh, before i'm asked, you don't need a Passport for Devon

Finally, if one the Administrators/Moderators could make this sticky for me I'd be grateful.

Tinkerbell · Aug 12th, 2003, 07:25 PM

Yes please! Looking at all the piccies I'm a bit miffed I missed the Cotswold run.

I'd love to visit the South West, but we'd probably have to make it a 2 night stay, in which case school hols would be the best time (unless the run was on the Saturday)

mad brummie · Aug 12th, 2003, 07:47 PM

Sounds good count me in depending on the date some cracking roads way down there!!!

bumble · Aug 12th, 2003, 09:43 PM

Its Cornwall you need a passport for, you have to show it when you go over the bridge

Yes I'll be interested in a South West run

Shamster · Aug 12th, 2003, 09:54 PM

I'd be interested too but the only thing is it would prob need to be a 2 dayer and at some time when there were less tourists.

My previous holiday trips to your neck of the woods have always resulted in getting stuck in traffic jams even on B roads.

Love the area though!

Tonyt3 · Aug 12th, 2003, 09:58 PM

Yo Midlife, I'm ready to go for next weekend, as I have nothing planned, so get on with the organising!!!!

PS, wouldn't mind having a go in your motor, test out those OZ Superleggers, and the rest of your mods!!!!

p.s., Splitter damage is minimal and not really visible from eye level....

regards

Re a go in the car, no problem though I added another mod tonight and have some more planned for the weekend.

Re the splitter, I have the original of that "inspection pic" if you want it

Presumably interested parties are aware of the South West Meet coming up Saturday week - starting at Tiverton?

taz2822 · Aug 13th, 2003, 11:10 AM

How much wine can we bring back through the tunnel?

Interested, bit of a hike but love to come down sometime providing the conjestion isn't too bad, always seemed to spend hours in long traffic jams.

ButtonIt · Aug 13th, 2003, 11:15 AM

SoggyCornFlakes · Aug 13th, 2003, 11:45 AM
