Dash for the Coast - 25th March
Discussion
hope to see you in the morning.
Well that was fun, but had I have known I was in the lead car I might have taken the time to read the bleedin' maps before we took off. I told my poor kid, Sam, that he was responsible for navigation so he was nervous as hell. However, he was more or less faultless in his navigation. Well, until the last half mile!! Well done Gruffy for some good instructions and a great route.
Great turnout guys and girls, especially for a dank and very early Sunday morning!
The idea of groups arranged by different paces went out the window when everybody joined the 'nutter' group (but then what would you expect from people who get up that early to go hooning?). Awesome to see that we pretty much stayed as one 50-strong convoy the whole length of the route. There was a point about 30 minutes in where we all slowed on a really open hill coming into a village - great sight, a train of varied petrolhead metal (and plastic) as far as the eye could see in both directions.
Huge fun in the greasy conditions I thought, but definitely one to do again in the heat of summer when we're guaranteed great conditions and daylight at 5am. That'll definitely be an early one!
Hopefully see most of you on Sunday for the Goodwood Breakfast Club. Don't forget, we're meeting at Guildford Cathedral this time, rather than the old retail park.

Got a headache now. Blinking V8s. Thanks Mr Yellow S3 man for taking care of my rear!
Can't get the image of that mush in his Xmas sweater out in the road trying to slow us all down. I swear I was only a couple of inches from him as he jumped out on us. What a noodle. Do you reckon his bruver lives in Bruntingthorpe?
Nice to see you all
