Further to my 'Summer Welsh Borders Run' post (below)

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

have decided to go for it, so put it in your diary, get your name on the list and meet us at The Green Man at Fownhope (near Hereford) http://www.thegreenman.co/ on Sunday 15th July from 10am ready for an 11am start.

We will show you the best routes over the borders and into South/Mid Wales including routes through the Brecon Beacons that our friends at EVO told us about (when we spent a couple of days with them in North Wales - but that's a different story and will appear on another thread !)

We promise to seek out the best roads and find fantastic scenery (plus the odd watering hole) and really look forward to meeting old friends and new.

We have been to The Green Man today and had a chat with the manager. At time of writing he has 9 double rooms available for Saturday 14th July and we have negotiated a deal on the room rate. If you pm me I will give you his contact details and the special rate.

As with Mikey K's April N Wales run we think it best to limit car numbers to 20 so please add your name to the list below:

1. Rob & Molly GT in the V8 Vantage S
2. jamespconnor - DB9
3. bananarob - DBS coupe
4. Yeti - DB9 cryptonite edition

6. RichV12 - V12 Vantage
7. M@H & Mrs H - DB7 Vantage Volante
8. Vergis - V8 Vantage
9. Mikey K & Mrs K - V8 Vantage S roadster
10. Adam V8V + 1
11. t1blk
12. Lady Topaz (Di) & Tony

I'll be there Molly! What happened to all the other interested parties???

I'll be keen for this -

jamespconnor - DB9

Molly, if you could make it 11am depart from the Green Man (I could ork from there remotely if they have internet), we will come along. However, if you've got routes planned and places to be, I understand...

We are a possible!

Here's a couple of places I'd suggest for the route

1. Rob & Molly GT in the V8S
2. Lord Brett and Lady S, Tim and Georgie, DB7 Vantage Volante
3. jamespconnor - DB9
4. bananarob - DBS coupe
5. Yeti - DB9 Volante 6.5

Seems to be half hour slots - we are there for 4pm - don't know what times they are running from or to but suggest you give them a call on Monday or you may miss out. Hope the snow will have gone by then!

Spoke to Rachel this morning, am in at 3 so will probably cross over. I believe I have met Rob before at Millbrook when he was toying with the idea of buying a Vantage. Look forward to meeting you too!

I'd love to join you for this if I may. My side of the country so easy enough to get to.

1. Rob & Molly GT in the V8S

No two cars the same yet.

Hi Rich, have added you to the list.

I've thought of a couple of alternatives for local accomodation if you, or anyone else, can't get in to The Green Man:

www.thebowenshotel.co.uk which is in the same village,

or

www.thefalconhouse.co.uk which is 3 miles away.

I know it's still 5 months away so plenty of time for others to opt in but we are giving it lots of thought in the meantime. Indeed, in the name of research, we will be off into Wales for a stopover and to try out some ideas for the route in a month's time. Hoping for some sunshine, looking for great scenery and the chance to put the V8S through its paces round those Welsh mountains
