South West England / South Wales Run Out 26th July

[Karl V]

Update - the mid point and end point stops have changed; The Lake cafe opens at 9am with outside seating. I'm looking at booking tables at The Anchor Inn, Tintern for the final stop.

Updated Google Maps route from Uncle Nick here.

I also got some TomTom time, so created the GPX files below - pre and post pee stop - for anyone who can use these in their SatNav.

If I'm an owner by then I'd like to come along too please!

[Sir Nick]

Welcome Antong, feel free! But, you are now officially in charge of the weather!

[Antong]

I can tell you its absolutely glorious in the wye valley at the moment - they're all local roads to me and I can vouch for their entertainment value!

Weather still looks marginal

Don't forget to bring a face covering!

[mention]Sir Nick[/mention] Not related to this, but I saw one of your videos recently and noticed your horn sounds different from mine - actually much cooler! is that an aftermarket horn?

It's the child in me, it's a klaxon

[Anon]

It sounds very cool. I think I may get one put on my car! Where is the horn located and is it an easy swap?

[Karl V]

Are we good for this? Looks like tonight will be rain, passing during the day tomorrow.

Are we chocks away?

[hk65]

I'm having another look at the weather forcast tomorrow pm and make a decision then as it is still 50/50 for showery rain Sunday in Wales.

Ok peeps, this event is declared a GO.

See you at Aust, leaving 0730 sharp.

Looks like we will start dry but may catch a shower up the mountains, then should finish dry.

Don't forget your face coverings!

[Antong]

What time do you reckon on hitting the golf club? I won’t make Aust but potentially the latter part

[Karl V]

Anton - the route has changed slightly - here.

The mid point will be The Lake Café and according to Google, it's a 1h30 min drive, so estimated arrival time roughly 9am.

Nick needs quite a while to dethrone / rethrone, so I suspect we'll be there for a good hour or more.

Happy to chat Nomads if you can make it!

I'll show you what I did when we meet up at the East England run if you want [mention]simonrhart[/mention].

A must have when you have Sir Nicks blocking your path ;-)
