Surrey Run 4: Dawn Raid - Sunday 4th May
Discussion
I'm happy to plan the next Surrey Run extravaganza and suggest an event on Sunday 4th May.
The idea this time is to set off nice and early (like just after sunrise
) so as to take advantage of clear, numpty-less roads and drive a fantastic route to our breakfast destination.
Times, details and route to follow: email me through my profile if you'd like to be kept up to date with arrangements. Current idea is to head coastwards...

It would be good to have you along Don - and in the Porker.

In all seriousness it would be good to have a greater variety of cars on the runs: this is very much a PH community thing, not a TVR thing. The past runs have, in my opinion, been all the better for the presence of Ultimas, Nobles and those funny wedge things.
Oh, and if its fine I'll be in the Caterham anyway...
and I'll send it out to you all. Directions for the route have been emailed to all those who have replied on this thread or emailed me. If anyone else would like a copy, contact me through my profile.
We will be meeting in the car park outside The Tussaud Group offices in Silverglade Business Park, Kingston Road (KT9 2NN) at 6.15am, aiming for a 6.30am departure. The business park is on the A243 very close to junction 9 of the M25 (on the right if coming from the M25, close to Mole Valley TVR and just after the BP station).

The route is about 80 miles and it will take 1.5-2 hours until we reach our breakfast-by-the-sea destination.
Hopefully with our early start we'll have the luxury of the roads to ourselves.
And the opportunity to wake up Petworth, which will be nice.

Seriously Good Breakfast 
Thanks to the efforts of one of our fellow Dawn Raiders, PHer scooby_snax (Steve), we now have a superb venue for our slap-up breakfast-by-the-sea!
Steve has arranged for us to be fed at the Hayling Island Sailing Club (www.hisc.co.uk) who will provide a "5 item" breakfast for £2.50, or a "7 item" for £3.00 (coffee is an additional £0.70 I believe). The club is a brand new multi-million pound development right on the seashore, so should provide a spectacular location for us to scoff.
So that we can give the club some idea of numbers, can you let me know if you plan to have breakfast there (so far I've assumed we'll all be hungry....).
The plan is that we will follow the previously published route to the Inn on the Beach, after which Steve will lead us in convoy to the sailing club and oversee parking. I have emailed you all a revised version of the instructions with this information.
See you all bright'n'breezy on Sunday morning.

Who's b*****y stupid idea was this - my body doesn't work properly at this time in the morning Harry - you are perfectly safe. That scamera only works in the opposite direction.

Otherwise I would have mentioned it, wouldn't I!
