Summer Welsh borders run

[Molly GT]

Inspired by the interest in Mikey K's Spring NW run we've been thinking of doing something similar in the summer.

Likely dates would be mid/late July and the starting point we currently have in mind would be http://www.thegreenman.co/ before heading west across the border into Wales.

It's a bit of a way of yet and we will see how the NW run goes in April, but if alls well and it looks like a goer then would anyone be interested?

Hi Molly,
Lady S and I would be interested, dependant on dates

[Molly GT]

Thanks LBS, initially thinking of Sunday 15th July but that could well change for sooo many reasons! Bet it will clash with another PH event - does anyone have anything planned for that date?

[Tony V12V]

Pencil me in for that one please Molly

In case you don't know what Herefordshire has to offer I understand that Countryfile will be featuring Herefordshire and the Wye Valley at 7pm (15 mins time!). Don't know what they will be on about but might give you a clue

Nice area good for Elan Valley as well.
Could be interested dependant on dates.
15th July is in to school holidays so could be busy?

[Molly GT]

We are away on the Alpine tour early July and 3 months after yours seems like a good gap Mikey. Also I have a big birthday close to this time and thought it might be a memorable way to celebrate!

I'm out of touch with term times - does anyone know when they finish for the summer break this year?

Sounds good to me, however make sure it doesn't overlap with either Le Mans or Classic LM please!

I shall be at both

[Retman]

Hi Molly might be up for that, start venue certainly looks good. Will have to see how OH fares on winding Welsh roads in April . At Le Mans Classic 6-8 July and term ends around 20th July latest maybe week or so earlier for some so that might make things tricky.

So far as I can see other relevant dates don't clash:

Le Mans 16th - 17th June
Le Mans Classic 6th - 8th July
School hols 24th July (?)
Hever Castle 24th June

Add to that:

IOM TT - 28th May - 8th June
British MotoGP - 15th-17th June
British Grand Prix - 6th-8th July

I might be up for it, will confirm closer to the date

[robgt]

If you are going, you can be sure of me going as well !!

[Jockman]

Just a minor correction Molly, darling.

I do believe the Hever Beaver to be in June as opposed to July

[WantanewV12V]

I too would be interested - proposed date is ok with me.

Isn't the Hever Castle meet on 24 June? or have I got the dates wrong.

I stand corrected. I had put Hever in the wrong month.

I'm not allowed one so watching them race about is the closest I can get. I love MotoGP even more than F1. There's a little 46 sticker on every car (and a 58 on one) that I've ever owned

I'm going to the TT for the first time this year Can't wait, my view is, see it as soon as you can before those health and safety wkers ban it.

Hi Molly, thanks for the PM and the link - definately interested

Come on Georgeous, put your foot down with a firm hand - everyone should have one

Lewis, what's the matter with motorised bicycles - I love 'em, especially classic ones
