Thames Valley Easter Sunday Run - 20th April
Discussion
Its been a few months since I organised the last run out, so thinking of arranging another on Easter Sunday.
Appreciate some will have family commitments or be away so I may have to postpone if the numbers don't work.
I have a route planned which starts at Newbury services on M4 and ending at Reading services on M4, eastbound. Nearly 100 miles, of mainly A and B roads, with occasional dual carriageways and motorway section. Google maps says 2hrs 30 mins but likely to be less than that, brief comfort break halfway through for coffee.
Leave 6.30 am sharp before roads get busy, finish by 9.00am so plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the day.
So who is in?

It was fun last time. Don't think we set off till near 7 last time anyway and that was with 2 of us rushing to get there.
Maybe less flood and more cars this time eh?
Provisionally, I'm up for this. My issue is whether my car is mended in time. Hit a chunk of roofing lead on the A33 this afternoon, took out my air con condenser and a large chunk of bumper. Not to mention all three plastic grille trims around the bottom.

Got room for another one?
Of course, all welcome, no matter what you drive - geekman is combining his hoon with an airport run 
I promise a snorkel won't be required this time..Sorry to hear about your car Jonathan - hopefully not too expensive to fix.
Will confirm time later in the week, if you are unsure if you are a 'maybe' please still add yourself to the list below and put TBC so I have an idea of numbers.
Cheers

tempted but 6.45 
You must have been out before that on Sunday!! I joined the convoy somewhere near Lechlade I think in the Porsche Spyder.I followed you all until Evesham when you looked like you were all heading in to the River Avon, so I checked back and got myself in to Malvern at 8.45.

We left Newbury at 7.10, it was a 'spirited' and enjoyable driveRight gents, there doesn't seem to be much interest but I will still go out for a drive on Sunday morning. Are any maybe's able to confirm?
For those still coming, meet in Newbury services from 6.30am for a 6.45am depart.
In hindsight, perhaps a run out tomorrow morning would have been better for people?! Its a bit late in the day but if this is more preferable to people, happy to look at changing days.
