KENT RUN - THE BIG ONE

[jaykaybi]

After last year's 2 awesome runs organised by BarryJ and romanymagic (), I've decided to have a crack myself...

Here's the thread from Kent Run 1
www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=303758&f=65&h=0

And the second
www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?t=310799&f=65&h=0


Assisting me will be DamienCBR. This year's run has a new theme - it's gonna be EPIC!
The route has been devised and will undergo full testing this weekend (parts have already been confirmed).
The route is designed to cover classic English country roads, but will also incorporate more stints of flowing, open stretches.

As a double bonus, all being well, we will end up in secured private parking in an enclosed paddock to the rear of a CAMRA award winning English country pub, where the owner will be putting on an all you can eat BBQ for about £7 a head.

I am expecting to run it on Sunday 10th June starting early a.m., although this may be subject to change.
I will have .itn files for any TomTom owners participating, please put (TT) next to your name if you have one!




Additionally, to help me organise this efficiently, please, send an e-mail to [e-mail] to confirm your interest and don't forget to include your contact details.


So who's up for it?

Sorry to disappoint guys but the parking area isn't going to be big enough for silly stuff like that (well, not safely anyway, unless you're Russ Swift!)

[jaykaybi]

Guys, update - the 3rd is Damien's wedding anniversary (congrats mate) so it'll have to be the 10th by the looks of things, I'll edit the main post to clear this up, hope it's not too much of a problem.

RochesterBMW, the run will be done and dusted by early afternoon, you'll have time to play with stickers afterwards

That's confirmed then we need a dedictaed donut area for the hooligans my car is running Avon CR500's so when they are cold its easy but when they warm up you really need to dump the clutch to lose traction.

I'll keep an eye out when I test the run this weekend

[jaykaybi]

Nice to see you're in, Tim!

I hope the planned route takes account of thirsty cars as well as thirsty drivers.

I've got tom tom but am willing to try and A: Hear it in the car and B: load an ITN file to it. (anyone got one I can try as a sample)..

There are a number of fuel stations on the way round, no worries there.

There will also be occasional breaks where you can catch a sip, though as they won't necessarily be at shops I would advise taking a bottle of water with you in the car in any case.

When it comes to sending out the itn files, I'll post some brief instructions on how to get them onto your device as well. As for hearing it in the car, don't bother - just use it to catch up if you get held up or separated. Think of it as backup. You'll need to be concentrating on the road..

Hey guys, get this, I've just realised I'm on a Tunnel Run starting at the midnight before!

One hour's sleep between hoons is enough, right?



One thing's for sure - I will be looking forward to that BBQ!

Superb! I've never come across a CSL in the flesh, glad you could join!

I have my TomTom on the other side of the car, turned up full volume, roof off, with de-cat and noisey exhaust and can just about hear the woman. Basically, I keep looking every now and then to check I'm in the right place and it works well!

The ITN file thing is a piece of cake - just put it onto your TomTom and load it like you would any other itnerary.

Always good on these runs is a couple of places to stop and take photographs...we know of one place on the Rye road but with so many cars it may not be ideal - so it may just be a case of photos at the BBQ!

I live very near to Rye so if you need some assistance in that neck of the woods pm me.

Just so you all know, the mention of Rye above should not be considered a giveaway as to the rest of the route


Tony - ssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
