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? biggrin

We can go earlier or later depending on what the majority want. If we go later the roads will start to get busy, earlier and no-one will be arsed getting out of bed - although there is bank holiday Monday if people are worried about missing a lie in!

Got room for another one?
Of course, all welcome, no matter what you drive - geekman is combining his hoon with an airport run smile 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

Right 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.
