It's time for another tour guys, and I've opneed it up to other cars this time.

It’s on Saturday 16th starting outside Shrewsbury then around North Wales before finish outside Chirk.


If you just wish to join for the day or a few hour then please join by adding your name.

We'll start out at Shrewsbury at 9.30am, stop for a pub lunch around 12 and finish around 4.30pm. The route is around 180 miles of unbelievable roads.

We'll split into two groups this time as usual to suit different driving styles

Here's few shots of last years run

The route will avoid the main tourist routes and take in more challenging scenic roads. We’ll take in our favourite roads from the last trip.

We’ll start out a few miles closer at the Shrewbury Dobbies garden Centre Roundabout Roundabout. The same one used for the October tour.

I recommend purchasing some cheap walkie talkie this time like the Binatone MR150. You can get them from Asda.

I've got Autoroute 2006 so you can download direction and TomTom Files. I supply details a few days before the run.

Anyway post if you wish to join.

The crew so far

1. JohnBear with Cmr2Payne as co pilot
2. Pistnskint
3. John McKeown
4. Fairclp
5. Sound Chaser
6. Tamster
7. AdrianEagle

Hello Chaps, as a fellow Furballer (FB5K), I would love to come along on this mini road trip. Due to work commitments I've been tied up with work all summer, hence have not done many. But I think I can make this one, are there any free spots? Possible cars are either M3 (E46 BMW) or Evo VIII. Feel free to drop me an email me wayne_bhagan@hotmail.com.

Thanks

W

I'm interested in coming along, possibly with a friend or two... however, we're karting in Loughborough @ 6pm, so wouldn't be able to make the whole run.

Could you post a route so that we can decide how much we might be able to do with you all?

Thanks!

I'd really like to come along to this if I can, provided my cars all back on the road for the weekend and I finish work early enough to drive up on Friday I very likely shall!

Where in Shrewsbury is the meet? Or is this top secret information?

Would have loved to join you but sadly working. Just a note. Dont forget the Flower Show is on this weekend so make sure you can get into Dobbies car park!

Have a good one

Not much talk on this topic.... is it still going ahead? If so, is the garden centre still the starting point and what's the route?

Cheers!
