depends on the size of the run, if its gonna be similar to last year then a pub would be fine, if were talking loads of cars maybe choices would be better

im fine, pub grub would be OK, ideally a location where the accomodation is within staggering distance of the pub. i like the idea of a themed halloween pub if possible Paul..

I can't remember what time we were at the pub
I do remember we had some great food

I didn't get home too late so we couldn't have been there later then 9 I'd say. We didn't stay in the pub to last orders that's for sure

Hi all

Is there going to be a limit to how many cars take part?

Would you do different start times for groups?

I doubt we'll get that many, and as it's a night time run, one some challenging roads, it will be all in one group unless we have a massive take up. Last time there were around 20 cars and it worked well. Only lost a few.

Last place was good I agree. We'll see.

Also, people seem to have a habit of loosing their way on my runs?

The run this time will include the location for these shots:

Question is, do I make this a "you're in, you're in" run, or do I allow for get out routes?

I think its a you are in or out run, this kind of run requires balls of steel anyway, or was it stupidity?

Same difference

No escape routes!

That was my thinking to be honest.

What was it someone said on the last run... "I knew something was up because I saw braking going into a corner".
