Thunder in the Hills 2021
Discussion
The numbers registering for the event have been fantastic, but. If you are intending to go and have not registered yet, I would advise that you do so soon! Please visit the web page (https://blackpoolthunder.com) and go to "Events". Remember NO PAYMENT IS REQUIRED AT THIS STAGE. Payments will be taken on the day.
Keeping fingers crossed for no further Covid setbacks.

Madwud's comment:
I hesitate to post this as I'm only on the cusp of getting back into TVR-dom. I have a question about the intended route for TITH in June.
A click on the link above shows a glorious shot of the top bends of the road from Barber Booth to Mam Nick. Surely the organisers are not suggesting this steep, narrow, windy lane is a suitable for a convoy of TVRs--or any other cars--on a summer Saturday? I'd go as far to say Edale generally is a poor choice for a route.
This stretch of road is NOT being used on the route. The photo was intended to be a generic for the types of road that we will be driving on in the Peak District.
Hope this clarifies.

So Boris has kyboshed us again which means we cannot go ahead with the planned events on 26th & 27th June.
So we will go for third time lucky and plan to run Thunder in the Hills on SATURDAY 21ST AUGUST and Richard Thorpe Memorial run on SUNDAY 27TH AUGUST. Again has to be pending Covid situation!

TVRMs - not sure what runs you have been on - but there are no single lanes or uneven surfaces on this route or indeed in my previous life with Thrills in the Hills. Have you actually done one of these? Because 132 cars came to the last event without complaint!
You will see from earlier post I did a recce run - that was on A & B roads, so try it before knock it!

Hopefully third time lucky for 21st August!
Twenty days to go until Thunder is heard in the Peaks! As a result of the date changes there are some spaces available due to several holiday commitments conflicting. If you are thinking of going on this event or The Richard Thorpe Memorial on Sunday 22nd or have not registered yet, the link is : https://blackpoolthunder.com/thunder-events/#!even...
Looking forward to seeing you all at Hassop.
