The Epic Hoon in August

[hewlett]

We're organising a 350 mile Epic Hoon across some of the country's best roads one Sunday in August, with stops for both breakfast and lunch (and maybe dinner depending on progress) at some scenic venues. Ken Hoonas will publish details on FB and if you've not linked to him just ping a friend request across. Although the route is sorted any help with walkie talkies and suitable eatery locations, even drive-by photography along the route is most welcomed.

Thanks Pete, maybe have a chat on Saturday then - I'll bring along the route details. Cheers

It's 100% finished if you want me to send it across I can email it or if you're on FB there's an image of the route against a Ken Hoonas status update from yesterday I think

Dependant on what the Physio says I may be up for this - will ping a FB request

Steve, what date?

I want to go

Please be after payday, please, please, please.

[hewlett]

I was thinking 22nd, how does that suit?

[theboyfold]

I'm tempted and have added Mr Hoonas as a friend However, it's dependent on 2 things 1) Having a car worthy of such a run and 2) Being in the country, which currently looks promising!

Is the diesel allowed to participate?

This sounds a great run, just need to make sure I'm not working!

Sorry, not the physio, but can't do that day - have fun!

[shimmey69]

you wil also need to put in a fair few fuel stops aswell, mine should do most of that on one tank but i know the TVR boys will need at least 4-5 fuel stops

[omgus]

If I'm pressing on there is a chance the scooby will need 3 pit stops.
