Post subject:  Thames Valley - End of year drive out

I'm thinking of organising a drive out on Sunday 31st December & would like to get an idea of possible numbers. This is NOT a firm commitment on my part or yours; I'm just trying to gauge interest at this point.

The format I am thinking of will be a drive of around 2 hours followed by a pub lunch.

Please reply in this thread if you are interested.

D'oh! Nor can anyone as the 31st isn't a Sunday! I guess it could/should be on Monday 31st. Any takers?

I'm thinking along the lines of an 11am start from The Red Lyon. I have a route (thanks to Craig for this) which I think should be a couple of hours but I have yet to actually drive it - hopefully will do it this weekend. Of course, timing such a long route also depends on several factors:

1) How much traffic - hopefully not be too much on the 31st
2) How committed the attendees are with regard to "making progress" - no worries on that front with Paul & myself!
3) Weather :?

We were very lucky with the weather for the same event last year. I do remember the "summer" one though :roll:

I covered most of the route yesterday afternoon (100 miles in 2:20) - I think I'll need to modify it a bit.

This is what my (previously) totally clean car looked like this morning:

If I could work up the effort to drive the 2 hrs I'd most definately come along for this! Would love a drive out.
