I'm getting that itch again.

This will be a Sunday run for a change.

It will start at 10:00 (sharp!) from the A1 Services at Baldock, take in some "approved" roads to lunch at a pub in the Cambs / Northants border area and then an hour after lunch for those who want to finishing off at a pub in Northants.

Who's interested? biggrin

Can people just let me know what car they're likely to be in?

Thanks!

Sorry, can I also ask who's staying for lunch and the optional "part 2"?

Er, 18 April? biggrin

Starting point is here: http://www.motorwayservices.info/area.php?area=128

Ending point hasn't been finalised yet, but it's likely to be near the A45/A14 junction.

Nigel, I won't be going fast enough for any such shenanigans.

Unless of course they leave me behind!

If people have TomToms, please let me have your email addresses and I'll send you the ITN when it's finalised. I generally provide a couple and decide at the last minute which one I want.

I'm a bit worried that people think this is going to be a hoon ... it's just going to be a nice gentle bimble.paperbag

Has everyone who wants the ITN files sent me an email? Anyone who wants general directions for manual navigation, can you email me as well?

ETA: As far as I know, I've had emails from CarZee, tom-p and 300bhp/ton.

Sorry folks, because I don't have anyone to lead a wing on this one, I'm going to have to close the cruise to new entries now.

Can I ask people who haven't answered the questions about lunch and part two to please do so by close of business on Monday? If I don't hear from you, I'm going to assume you don't want lunch and you're not coming on part two.

Can I also ask people to reconfirm that you are coming, please?
