Bristol Tunnel Run #2

[MudSkipper]

As there seems to be interest for another run before the weather turns against us, and for me to hear what my exhaust now sounds like on a TR

Plan would be to stick to what we know works, start around 16:30, finish at a pub for a chat and munchies around 19:00.

The only dates i can currently do in Oct are...

Sorry hadn't had enough coffee when writing this earlier. Meant to be Sun 18th.

[MudSkipper]

It means an extra hour in bed the following morning

[MudSkipper]

Usual timing is starting at 16:30.

[MudSkipper]

25th is currently looking the most favourite, but it does partly depend on the weather...earlier in the month we're likely to get the better weather, so i guess it depends if people are bothered by wet/possibly muddy roads or not.

[MudSkipper]

Apologies all, life and work have gotten in the way this last few weeks. I now can't do 25th, so we're down to either 18th or 24th.
Evenings are usually better as it means the pub is open so we have somewhere to stop at the end, have a drink and a chat etc.

Currently this Sunday 18th is looking most popular, but I'll give it another day, 2 at the most to see if there is any change.

Sorry all I can't make it this Sunday but should be good for the 25th

You could if you weren't staying down there...I'm playing taxi back to Bristol for the rest of them. Much cheaper and your own bed to sleep in

No worries, appreciate you organising them in the first place. Just sods law I keep missing them!

That's because you keep letting that thing called work get in the way of play.

[MudSkipper]

OK, seems like this Sunday 18th has a couple more people interested and the weather looks like it should stay ok...so I reckon we should go for it.

Tunnel Run #2 - confirmed Sunday 18th October

Usual plan...Meet in Staples at the bottom of the M32 from 4pm, aiming to leave around 4:30 pm.

I'll have copies of the route instructions for those attending.

looking forward to it..
Do you reckon a navigator would be a handy thing to have ??

If you have one, it won't be a bad thing we've got a decent amount of regrouping points along the way so won't be an issue if you don't have one.

Synchromesh is on his way over, we're going to give the MX-5 a bit of tlc - hopefully see you at 4:30, unless we're knee deep in bits of door card.

No problem. If your on your way and want us to wait a few minutes just give me a shout. We'll be leaving just after 3:30 to make sure we're down there nice and early....Well that is assuming the rugby finishes by then!

Hope it was a good run, James and I finished working on the Mazda at 5, so we spent the next hour retracing the old route to see if we could catch up with you guys - unfortunately, we didn't see anybody

Sorry. We didn't need many regrouping stops as there was only 4 cars in the end. We were up at Hambrook by 5:20.

[MudSkipper]

Sorry have only just seen this thread revival :-)

I'm sure we can arrange something one evening...we usually do them later in the year, but can sort one earlier if there's enough interest.

[MudSkipper]

I'll sort out some dates this evening and see how much interest there is.

[MudSkipper]

I promise I haven't forgotten about dates...just waiting for some work diary dates to be confirmed. I should know by the end of this week.

[MudSkipper]

Sorry. Trying not to be a let down, but the wifi in this hotel is about as st as the town it's in!

I'll start a new thread with the possible dates :-)

[MudSkipper]

Thanks. Trying to copy the links on my phone isn't easy
