on facebook we seem to be having some interest so I would like to firm down dates. Hotel wise I have picked towns with numerous hotels. It will be down to individuals to book their own rooms, as at the mo no 'party bookings' would be honoured. I will post where I have booked mine. Routes will be on 'googlemaps' which I will email out and some hard copies. Date wise I'm suggesting the week after Easter - starting Redditch the morning of Friday 9th April. I will post this on Pistonheads. At the mo it is NOT an official TVRCC event. There will be a disclaimer to sign.
Redditch - Yeovil - Okehampton - Cheddar Gorge

Indicate below if interested.

Note I am going to run a Northern run too

DATES NOW SET - Covid permitting

Starting near Redditch (exact location TBA) around 10am
I have booked myself and my son in to The Premier Inn Yeovil Airfield BA22 8UX night of 9th April cost £68 + meals as using the flexible fully refundable price.

I have also booked us into The Travel Lodge Sourton Cross Okehampton EX20 4LY night of 10th April cost £35 + meals, again the flexible refundable price

If you wish to join us the you will need to book yourselves a room - there are other hotels in the area and we can set off from the hotels I've booked at approx. 10am

I will look at (suggestions please) places for lunch/snack, but again you can sort yourselves into small groups and stop where you want.

Thank you

I have added onto the route but it is quite near the start for that day, just less than an hour in.

Hello!

I'm in Devon and would love to join for a portion of the journey. How RE:Fuel escaped my attention living around 15mins away I have no idea.
No 'S' but i can bring along something with a TVR badge.

I assume these two threads somewhat overlap now, as alluded to over here.

Cheers
yes this is the same run out. Also on the fb TVR S Series Owners and Enthusiasts page.
The route will be on google maps and I may have a few hard copies.

Obviously the run cannot be guaranteed due to Covid but as long as back to Tier 2 I will give out the routes via an email request (click on my profile)

TBH if it runs, I won't turn away anyone. I will ask for small groups to leave at intervals. Also will have a disclaimer for you to sign.
I hope to have chosen (with a little help) an interesting scenic route. Take at your own pace, be it slow or a little more briskly - but keep within the law. The route will be on 'googlemaps' unless someone can transfer to gpx or itn files.

Is it worth a detour at Porlock to take in the toll road as we are just coming down the A39? I'm thinking it may well be.
Could some-one do a photo and upload a marked map or similar please.

Due to the Boris road map I'm going to postpone the run until we can officially stay in hotels and have indoor pub meals - after 17th May?. If any individual wishes to have the daily routes as they may be able to drive them, then please email me.
