[bodnet]

Heston Services, 7am... Just Sir Nick and myself here!! Where's everyone else?

Ooh... As I type I hear another Atom arrive...

Three set off, picked up Bruce en-route, then Max at Tower Bridge

[Sir Nick]

Another great raid on a sunny capital!

Good to meet some new faces, thanks all for your company.

Now to edit the hours of gopro (reminds self to auto-save every 3 mins!)

Great run home the long way!, with Bod, cheers mate.

A friend of mine from Liverpool, in London for the weekend texted me this morning to say he had just seen a number of Atoms driving through the city. I explained there was a meeting and drive through the capital. He was very impressed, estimated 8 cars.

Four or five, depending when he saw us

But who did we pass heading the other way on Regent Street?!? Mystery Atom!!

Splendid day out for our first real trip out in the Atom. Thanks to all and it was good to meet you.
Big respect to Bod & Nick for their "epic" run all the way from Bristol. I know it was a Sunday afternoon tootle for you hardened enthusiasts. We'll have to toughen up a little and leave the trailer at home. It will also save a bit of a hassle! Chris G & Ewan.

If you don't already have them, I'd recommend getting helmets for motorway/long trip/early start/unexpected rain! They don't need to be expensive ones necessarily, it's to keep rain/insects/stones off your face, not like you'll be at risk of sliding head-first across the tarmac...

As you might have noticed, I pick and choose helmet/shoggles depending on the situation

Great day out

Note to future Dawn Raid planners: Constitution Hill and The Mall are *always* closed on Sundays

Excellent way to start the day and well worth getting up early for.

That parking spot by Tower Bridge for the pee break was great! we should make that a regular regrouping point...

Lovely to see everyone - Bod - it's been far too long!

I'd love to know who that was that passed us on Regent Street, too... I seem to remember that it was black with a red nose tip?

[Sir Nick]

I have got 2 videos to share, one short one at 5 mins and a longer one at around 20 mins.

Hope I got everyone in some where!

Does anyone have any snaps of this and fancy doing a brief writeup for the website?

Could do one of the previous meet Tom if that's helpful? I've got snaps and a clear recollection of a damn cold 7am meet

Hi Tom.

All done mate. What's your email address and I'll ping it over.
