The Heartbeat Run/Dales Run 2005 Videos ready now

[Mini-Trainer]

Well Blimey I've only got Two months to plan this run but I'll give it my best shot
The runs previous to this event have lots of fond memories shared by hundreds of people, myself included!!!

The start destination will be in the Tesco carpark just off the town center of Thirsk, North Yorkshire. More details later......
Start time will be 9am prompt from Tesco carpark
The run date will be 10th April 2005

When I got the chance to run this nationwide attracting event I took it up straight away, what a privilege to run an event which is one of the pinnacles of the Mini2 calender.

My recent event was the Bronte Run held on the 5th of Dec 04' this was hugely successful and enjoyed by lots of regular Mini2 members as well as a good mix of first timers. Check the video out.... post #527

I feel this run will promise to be as popular as it's predecessors, so get your name down early.

So what will this run offer :Without giving too much away.... It covers a large portion of North Yorkshire, featuring stunning views and great roads, it boasts long straights, beautifully curved corners and views for miles, selected parking and toilets will be included!!!!!!
I'm going to try and simplify things by adding pictures to maps. I don't know of anybody else who has done this before but it has occurred to me that pictures can and will make all the difference on a route like this, I've attached a couple of snaps below of various road signs, danger points, Points of interest and Road layouts to ease the chance of getting lost. All points will be colour coded

I've selected points on route where video footage WILL be taken, I've chosen these points purely to make one of the best videos yet and to try and get everybody's car on film.
I'm wanting to make a different film from following the same mini, I want to make it more professional with cut-aways to wheels turning, people enjoying and beautiful scenery all around.

I understand the ethical laws with regards to filming/photographing persons and there cars against there will, on entering this event you must be fully aware footage will be recorded , nothing illegal will be shown, and every piece of footage will be edited. Any questions or concerns please feel free to PM me.



The route is Superb nearly knocking on the door of 143 Miles but it's all Fab

1, Hazards such as cattle grids and narrow bridges in Red
2,Junction layouts will be in Blue

I'm going to be following the original route on Sunday 13th Feb to plan the initial stages, from there I've planned to do something every week there-after.


I'll initially limit the numbers to 50 cars, judging on the parking space and route.

Admittedly, the lights were very Chris The way they were arranged, as well as looking into the finer details of adding little foil bows around the interior shows careful planning and thought went into it..... Your car was a work of art on the day in its own right

[Veron781]

Rams, following on from the success of the Bronte run.........and what a wicked run that was ........then I have no doubts that this one is going to be brilliant People, this guy is a top notch organiser


You can def add me to the list please



Cheers,

Veronica
