Don't have nat sav, so just a quick question, is the route from Gypsy Patch Lane to Great Stoke way taking in the railway bridge at Bristol Parkway?
Yeah we will be - I have typed up directions for those who don't have satnav

Got your email thanks Sandy. I work in WsM so by the time I've actually finished, got back home (for sat nav) and then got to you guys I'm probably going to miss out on most if not all of the run, but may give you a call depending what time I actually get out of here.
I have typed up directions if that helps? If not you're more than welcome to meet up half way or even at the pub after.

Thanks to Graham and Sandy - a comprehensive tour of all the tunnels I knew, and some that I didn't.

Here's a quick vid, but it doesn't really do justice to just how staggeringly loud that Corvette is.

Great time, even as a mini convoy of 5! thumbup

There's only so much noise a 1.3 can make, but 9.5k rpm helps!

Will post some pictures up after beers and sleep!

Excellent event - great to meet you all. Many thanks to Graham and Sandy for sorting the whole thing - you did a really great job.
I think my new tyres are scrubbed-in now.
Will upload a couple of pix tomorrow.

Poor old Gaffer is on her way back to London now, nursing her clutch in the absence of traffic smile

Yep thanks from us we had a fun afternoon/evening out, sorry to run off from the pub but the cineama called, The new Star Trek film is great but was getting a numb bum after all the driving and banging around the back lanes so glad to finally get home and get to bed.
See you all soon.

Thanks for organising last night - a thoroughly enjoyable time. I thought my Chimaera was loud, but I have been humbled!!

Our first PH run and we had a great time. Sorry we had to leave before making the final stop, we were double booked for the evening.

Graham and Sandy - thanks for your organising efforts.

The TVR's all sounded great, but the Corvette sounded like it was going to rip a hole in the sky biglaugh

Finished work late and then got 'persuaded' to go to the pub, but thanks for the offers Sandy! Glad to hear it sounded like a great run! Was that Corvette one of the ones that was at the Gorge meet?

When can we do another one and please can it start at 6 if on a Saturday!
