yep..I do! got to take the coastal route some time this year, would be good to drive it with a gaggle of tvr's

[chrisj]

I'll be up for this.

[andy4200]

Yep, I fancy that....

Can I suggest a few dates??

17/18/31 July, 1/2 August.

[tvrbob]

Count me in. I almost took the Chim over on my way back from the Boarders earlier this year but the tide was on the turn and I chickened out.

Possibly include Bambrugh Castle as well.

inc Bamburgh

andy we'll look at your dates
some are BBW others are Griff Growl

Im going to neither but I think there may be a whole contingent away

bob - what ya think?

17/18 July OK but very close to BNG

31 July 1/2 August is a Bank Holiday weekend so parking at these places will be interesting.

August looks quiet for the more northern groups, though I expect some folk will be holidaying.

[andy4200]

Could possibly do the 7th August also if that's any better but I know you lot don't normally do Saturday runs.
I noticed the BBW and Griff Growl but it might give the folk not going something to do.

[gemini]

I think the 8th Aug sounds good

Does that clash with anyone else event?

[andy4200]

Damn my mate for deciding to have his wedding reception on the 8th

[gemini]

youll get to one do eventually!

It isn't. You're thinking of 31 May or 30 August.

I'd be up for this, providing I can get enough browny points in the bank!
18 July - ok
25 july - BNG
01 Aug - Can't do
08 & 15 Aug - Spain
22 Aug - ok

OK, odds on who's going to get cut off by the tide

Ah well it is a Bank Holiday in Scony Botland and Holy Island is a place them Scots like to visit.

[docevi1]

I'd be up for it as well, but any chance of a Saturday rather than a Sunday? I work Sundays and have no holiday left for the rest of the year now

I finish Uni a week on Wednesday until oooo, September so can help with organising the run if you like...

[gemini]

Sometimes one just has to wait until manhood

When one hits the working world (ok Im a cop and some say thats not work) one has to hoon on a sunday

OK, am I the only one who hasn't a clue where Holy Island is? More to the point, if it is an island, do I need to go out and start making the Chim amphibious ?

From across the vast expanse of cyberspace, welcome to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne!! Our physical location... Our delightful, unspoiled, historic island lies just off the extreme Northeast corner of England near Berwick-upon-Tweed.

I'll be up for a run out and i'll have a spare passenger seat as the wife won't be with me. Apparently, I drive too fast and I scare her, wimp!

So does this mean you'll be able to enjoy the afternoon sessions from now on?
