I'll let you know a little nearer the time if I can make it. Had a lovely Dorset weekend last at DD1(? or 2??).
We were at DD1 with you Don, not sure if you did 2 or not as I wasn't there.
Could be up for 5 if times work out.
Remeber the cold?

It was DD1 we were at, then. Yes I do remember the cold...brrr...I also remember getting lost and following a gentleman in his S at breakneck speed around the route catching up. It was ace!
I also remember the fabulous road that went directly along the ridgetop with the tank firing range on one side - FANTASTIC!
If its the DD1 route again I am *really* going to have to see if I can make it...really brilliant fun.
I have altered the route a bit to take in Chalky Road so its about 71 miles this time. Not as long as the Yorkshire runs but quality not quantity ! How many other runs have taken a ferry as part of the route ? If we take off over the humps on the B3075 we can travel by land, sea and air !

Aw shucks, that's kind of you to say but I don't think I'm quite in Tuscan-R territory yet...
However since you last saw me I have fitted some 330mm Brembos and some chassis tweaks, so the car is actually quite a bit faster than it was (Note to any Police Officers : around the race track).
The brakes are just awesome on a car of this size. They allowed me to take 30yds off everyone in the braking areas at Castle Combe the last time I was up there. I've even managed to (accidentally) whiplash the brunette with them
Anyway I've got the MOT due next weekend - keep your fingers crossed for me as it's an old car now and I always get stressed about this time of the year when it goes for it's medical!

Will try and make this one,don't remember which one I did, but the group got split and we mostly found each other at the bottom of zig zag hill
Tony
That would be DD4 where we did ZigZag twice . This one goes across the ranges - we just have to hope they are not firing that day
See you all on the 10th

Which run was the zigzag hill and the tunnel, that was a very good route
