I had been asking on fb (a 'hidden' hooning page - acessible by invitation only) and have just had someone suggest a route (55miles) from Aylesbury area up to Gaydon. I have a link for it so will hold onto it for use on a similar short informal run out, ending at the Gaydon museum, maybe early part of next year

Put me on the list for that one when you start it.

Me too!

Steve,

Sounds to me like the Gaydon plan may be more popular, thoughts?

[897sma]

Tried that Mark and no one voluntered to sort a route, we have 5 of us confirmed so far for this run and we'll be in double figures by the time we go. It still is pretty central for everyone as many major roads and motorways converge around there.

No worries Mike, it would be nice if you can make it but if not there's always the next one.

If you are still on from Donington please move yourself up from the maybe list or delete if you aren't

Surely if you're in Herfordshire, Donington is easier/quicker to get to than Gaydon? An hour and a bit straight up the M1

[Tony V12V]

Looks like its Donnington this year and I will do a Gaydon one after Xmas using the route that I have been given (will try and extend it from 55 miles but it will be off a map as I'm in Norfolk so don't blame me if the roads are st )

In other words its Donnington or nowt this side of Xmas - so get your names on Steves list, He has stepped up and put something together !!

There currently is NO Gaydon list - your going to had to wait for that one

[sach1]

Will have to drop out of this one I'm affraid. Works Christmas party confirmed for the 15th, so I won't be making it too far early Sunday morning considering my likely blood alcohol!

Still on the maybe list, as trying to juggle other plans for that day, as donnington will probably be a longer day than planned.
Is there anybody else going from the Birmingham area?

Sorry guys, Donington is a bit too far for me that weekend.

A quick geography lesson for the those who believe "The North" begins at Watford and somehow Donington is an unreasonable drive from London. It sits somewhere well south of the centre of England right next to Junction 23a of the M1 motorway and in the centre of where the M42, M6, M69, A50 & A14 Converge. Man up, get in your Aston and join us for a drive. What else can be more exciting/interesting on a Sunday morning than a blast out with other Astons?

[baileyconstruct]

Is this just open to Astons only?

Hi Scott, as an ex Aston owner you're obviously a man of taste and character, if you don't mind being the black sheep in your flashy Italian thingy then I'm sure you'd be welcome

Is that map to scale? As soon as I leave the hallowed lands of Yorkshire everything seems the same distance away to me - Watford is London to a Yorkshireman - Devon & Cornwall are different planets I think

[897sma]

I'm not sure, shows it in the same place on this one too

I must admit I have turned away from the Aston brand but will be back one day.

I'm keen to come as it is not often the pistonheads community does any convoy or ride outs in The North.

As I have a second child due on 8th dec my better half will welcome me takin my little lad out for the day also.

Also don't mind bring the black sheep and you will be glad to know it is black and not ferrari red.
