Northants Run X + Dunstable Hoon - Oct 29th
Discussion
How long you planning this run to last? That could possibly be a fair way to take B roads.
Basing on the fact that most people's attention spans and concentration weakens after 20 minutes, which is why most track days are limited to around 20 min stints, going for more than an hour heavy driving may have implications.
Not saying I am shy of long drives, I've done a full days worth of heavy driving many times (trip to/from the Ring, Scotland adventures etc)but can I suggest perhaps a half way stop or something if we are to be out for longer than an hour?
For example. The fab Rutland Rumble held today had it's pub stop mid adventure. We also stopped in Uppingham too before continuing mini blips back to base camps. It worked really well! Also enabled the pack to keep together better, socialise and banter more.
Don't know your plans Oh Obes but just an idea I thought I would throw in!

Stef, run that up the flagpole and see who salutes it? Must admit todays "Rumble" worked a treat.

When did you scarper from Uppingham doode? We had rather a sweet Lotus blip back and it was far faster than with all you TVR's holding us up!
Sloped off with ya girlie I guess 
Looks like a stop is in place. I always read stuff properly but seeing how today went I'm liking the idea of split runs! Guess I have sun-stroke!

good news
take it you've found all the bolts then hows the 225, any good?
Still a few bolts unaccounted for
As for the 225 - I'll let you know on the 23rd Oct, it arrives then (although it was the 9th, then the 17th so we'll see!!).
only joking
Must be the "loved-up" atmosphere in Rutland today.

So what`s the deal at Silverstone?
In the dim and distant past, run number 3, we stopped off half way at Silverstone TVR, now Silverstone performance of a quick refreshment break, oggle at the TVr's and general chit chat before we started off again. My guess is the same will happen on this one
