Leighton Buzzard Fun Run III: Turkey Regurgitated.

[Sheepy]

OK, so due to popular demand, we'll still do a run in the 14th of March. The orignal plan was a route out to the west, but due to my workload, I've been unable to recce anything. So we're going to follow the same route as the "turkey workout" run held over christmas.

We will still hold a run April / May time using the route to the west which is still under construction

The confirmed route is here (thanks to Darren - FWD - for not deleteing the route!!!).

The date is Sunday March 14th

The time is 10.30 for 11:00 departure (took us about ninety-minutes the last time). Please make sure you have plenty of optimax before turning up

The start is here We'll start at the carpark 'p' that is next to the A4146 marker. Entrance is off hockliffe street (Carpark behind library if you know L-B)

The finish is here"The Grove Lock" which everyone seems to like.

If you don't want to do the run, join us at the Pub anyway. We'll aim to be there sometime after noon depending on the A41 speeds . The pub manager recommended we arrive early, and is looking forward to seeing more Tivs than the last time, so Come on down You know you want to!

Important Notes:

1) We may shorten or completely can the run depending on the weather on the day. Hopefully it will be a crisp clear sunny day (like the last time), but trying to follow a route in the pouring rain isn't anyone's idea of fun!

2) I will be in the MGB. On the A41, those who want to "give it large" are more than welcome to do so ( permitting). I'll be pottering along as best possible. I propose that we all regroup after we leave the A41 near Bourne End

3) Remember before any overtaking that we will be filming the run. The resulting footage may lead to some amusement at a later stage

Nothing like a blast out in the fresh air to clear a dodgy head!

hmm, the 14th is almost certainly a no for me...

That's a shame. There's going to be another vauxhall coming, and you'd have made a lovely convoy together at the back.

Sorry Gary, couldn't resist a dig. Makes up for all the bumpy landings I have to put up with from your lot (I'm also jealous)

Lol @ FWD

Yup, she's still dribbling a bit. I haven't managed to keep the jag running for long enough to fix the MG!!! Mind you, even with a dribble, she does 30mpg, not bad for a '50s design!

I never got out of 1st gear

I didn't know Ferrari did an automatic box on the 360 (Or have you not realised that the car has more than one gear ).

Anyway, only four and a bit days till the talking stops and the begins!! My money is on the MG being first out at the start, and first into the pub!!!

Shall I put the AA on alert??

I thought the VX came with RAC cover? Or have you exceeded your yearly-allowance of callouts already?

[Sheepy]

I thought about washing the B, but decided that it would intrude upon my drinking time, so haven't bothered.

See you all bright and early tomorrow for a bit of regardelss of rain, snow, wind etc.

Where is the nearest shell garage between bedford and leighton?

If you look on the first post, I put a link to the map showing where the Shell garage in Leighton is.

Sorry you missed us Andy, would have been nice to see another 'B on the run.

Thanks to everyone for making it another sucessful run, I hope you all enjoyed it. I know I did (even with the rain!).

Next time, I may even have the Jag running which would be a shock to everyone one!!!
