Sorry to be a pain but I am now making the assumption ( probably wrongly! ) that I may have been left out. To be fair I haven't emailed you but I am on the list. Do you require individual emails from everyone on the list to receive directions?
The short answer is yes, so email Longers through his profile.
Thanks QBee.

It is not possible to attach things to emails sent through profiles and even if that option existed I certainly haven't got the time to email each person one at a time! Do not worry Lone Star, I've received your email (plus a few others) today so will reply to them all in one go this evening wink

Some important points

Last year there were 50 names in the forums and 66 turned up. This year SO FAR there are already 67 in the forums so with maybe 80 cars or perhaps even more turning up on Saturday, subject to the weather behaving, please please please read and remember the following:

  • Be patient. I and some "willing" volunteers will get everyone parked... somewhere!
  • Make sure you do not block access for local residents or other customers of the pub if you do need to park on the road.
  • If on the road, please park facing north so the pub is on your right hand side to make it easier when we leave. The most straightforward way to do this is by arriving from the A43 NOT the A47. Map here http://www.theroyaloakduddington.com/contact-us
  • Be ready to listen to a brief briefing from me at 13.45 before we depart at 14.00.
  • Behave responsibly. Wheel spins, excessive revving of engines, etc, will only annoy the local residents and potentially spoil the day for everyone else.
Thank you for your understanding.

If you have not contacted me yet or do not have a satnav do not worry, I will have a supply of printed maps and turn by turn notes to hand out.

Uploading the route to a satnav

A couple of you have asked, this is what works for me and my TomTom:

  • Connect TomTom to computer. It should show up as a connected device or external drive/folder.
  • Open the file attached to your email.
  • Save it to the .itn folder in your TomTom.
Not all satnavs can follow itineraries like the one I have sent you, they can only calculate the route between a start and end point. This should not be a problem; I know enough cars do have a device with the itinerary planning so I am confident you will not get lost.

Cheers,
L'rs

Some of us are old enough to have learnt to read at school. And not to have owned a computer until my 30s. And to be able to use a map. Father was a rally co-driver champion.

I will be using your excellent written instructions and map again, even with no co-driver.
Reading glasses on each time we pause, read two or three instructions ahead, memorise place names and mileages.
Got me around the two missing or incorrect instructions last year.

Note for next time, please, Longers. On written instructions please put the mileages like you have, and the cumulative mileage to each direction. Then all I need to do is set the trip mileage on the dash to zero at the start to know how far to the next instruction. Thanks for organizing this run - it takes more work than most realise.

Sorry - you HAVE done exactly that - cumulative mileages. That's the one that works for me.
It's the other mob who have done the mileage between directions only

Oh yeah... Not sure what I thought you meant when I read it last night but it seemed like a good idea at the time!

Hi Dave, yes, it has been one of those days but not because of tomorrow!

I've sent you the files a couple of times from 2 different email accounts through today but they keeping bouncing back. I will have printed copies of the map & route notes with me tomorrow if QBee cannot sort you out. With such a large number of TVRs in the country's smallest county I'm sure another one will turn up soon if anybody does take a wrong turning wink
