Round Great Britain Run - Diary, Pics & Everything Else

They're Off!

Soggy Edit ....

Details of the route are here - please go along and support them on their way
http://www.mini2.com/forum/uk-ireland-discussion-event-planning/57731-round-gb-run-cartography-please-delete-thread-ta.html

... end of Soggy Edit


Just got back from leading the Wacky Racers out of Leeds & on their way south. All seven runners turned up, plus a guest appearance from Lorraine (H) & hubby Steve who decided to skive off work for the day & go as far as Melton Mowbray.

Managed to meet Taz, Ginge, Learner Driver & Minion at the hotel in leeds last night for a couple of hours, along with a drop visit in from Captain. The adventure started in the true spirit of the event when Ginge arrived at the wrong hotel but he found the right one eventually.

Taz is going to ring/text me each evening so i can let everyone know how they're getting along so until tonight here's a few pics of the assembled crew ready to set off from the Elland Road Stadium

South Coast New Mini Club, has suggested a donation of £10 per MINI thats taking part in the South Legs of the Round GB Rally. But of course feel free to dig deeper if you wish. Remember this may be a charity run, but people are out for a days MINI fun too

see you at the factory tommorow morning.

We left the gang at Melton Mowbray, where Goonery was waiting in the convertible
The weather stayed fine for us and we had a good journey down with a prolonged coffee break at Little Chef, where Taz was seen coming out of the ladies loo! well he'd done well up until then, he didn't get lost once

Good luck guys & gals for the rest of the run... see you Monday back in Leeds. Anyone who can spare a couple of hours over the weekend, go and support them, they'll be pleased to see you

Will post some pics soon, when I've resized them
