Run to Chatsworth from Solihull area

[phillpot]

Bobhon and myself will be meeting at Mc D's Shirley (B90 4EL) around 8 for an 8.30 departure, cutting across to BP station at Coventry (CV3 6RQ) to meet Stew Mc and anyone else who'd care to join us, should be there for about 9.

From there probably A46, one junction up the M69, onto A5 to pick up the A444 but open to suggestions from anyone who knows the area/roads better

Well, looks like I've been sussed.....I'll bring my kit along a shoot a few snaps.

Gents, the TVRCC is meeting at Bassets Pole McDonalds at 9:30-9:45, so maybe adjust your meeting place to there? is only 20 minutes away?

I was going to meet up with you guys until i spotted the thread on the TVRCC forum.

Their convoy is starting out at Meriden 9:15 and coming via Bassets Pole, planning to arive between 11 and 12....should be a big convoy...

[blaze_away]

Just to be clear, are we talking Saturday or Sunday ?

[Robertjp]

Sunday for me...just double checked the TVRCC site and its definitely Sunday that their convoy is headed up....

[blaze_away]

Sunday for me too, it was best to check though, see you at Meriden then.

[phillpot]

Sunday Morning.

I had read of the big TVRCC run from Meriden but this is an option mainly aimed at a few local S owners I know (but everyone is welcome and ironically my S won't be ready so I'll be taking the Taimar) who may wish to "avoid the crowd"

Hi Mike/ Bob.

Was going to make it a family day out. My mom, Wife and 2 sons but weathers killed that idea!!
Can I tag along and bring up the rear in the Tata boot space if needed.
See you at Mucky D's. just after 8.

Simon.

[phillpot]

No prob Simon, shame yours isn't finished but would you want to take it out in this weather anyway ?

I shall give it a go unless it's really hammering down Sunday morning (could be just you and me!)

Have been waiting to see what the weather was doing and not good. Gonna give it a miss this year, post some pics!

[Bobhon]

Still planning to go on this one. But might need an outboard motor at some stage.

Decided not to go this year as the forecast is bad and the grounds already water logged. I have got an outboard motor you can borrow Bob.

Yeap... That was a wet one.
Stayed till just after one, wet enough by that time.

Nice route Mike. Trust you and all got back ok ?
Good to chat again with all, Stew lucky one with that learner

Welcome back to Tiv ownership Frank & Chris.

Yeah, Nice work on the route guys, and very nice to meet you all.

Had to chortle, we did travel from Hatton to meet you at Solihull, only to then pass back within 20 yds of my front door !

Good to get the new chim out and discover its fine in the rain though, although go home with a wet a*se for reason, will have to investigate that one, and some kind sole nicked my Moet & Chandon umbrella from under my car, whats that all about ??

Looking forward to many more (dry pls) events in the future.

Take care all

Cheers
Frankj

[Stew Mc]

Just about dried out now.
Good to see/meet you all. The learner was a bit of a close call but we all had to start somewhere and he missed me so no harm done.
The old motor never missed a beat so happy days. Hope I can say the same after the Euro trip!

Cheers, Stew.
