Does anyone know how many miles the route is going to be roughly?

I have only got my Tesla this weekend so kind of have to make sure I will make it.

Hi nitz,

The morning leg will be about 75 miles, the afternoon leg approximately 60 miles

Thank you to everyone who joined us for another Late Summer Run.

Despite the very late notice (again I apologise for this), we had around 20 of us taking on some lovely roads in (mostly) dry Autumnal sunshine, save for a bit of rain in the morning.
We all managed to stay together for the most part, too!
Another wide variety of cars and superb human company really made for an excellent day out.

I had a couple of narrower sections which I may rethink (trouble is the alternative route is a tad boring!), and I hope next time we don't encounter an angry Mondeo Man or bizarre farm owners walking into the road!
The afternoon section was almost all Mark's previous years' doing, so thanks must go him - you were there in spirit, buddy!

Welcome to the newbies who joined us - please get in touch should you wish to be added to my mailing list

Feedback, whether positive or negative, is always welcomed as it only goes to help improve the next one!

As with all other Events this year, my photos will be uploaded in due course, after which I will post a link

I'm sorry to say that's it for Runs this year, but I plan to be back with another Winter Run at the beginning of 2017.
However we're not done with 2016 yet. Plans are afoot for something in November (subject to dates) and the Christmas Dinner is now confirmed for Sunday 18th December.

I hope to see you all again soon, and thank you again.

Darren
