GBMUD Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Chris, he did say, it would be appreciated, a rough head count !! for meals, more so on the Sat evening ?? Hence my question above. I said that I would try to gauge numbers of people wishing to dine and let him know ASAP so that he can reserve sufficient seating. Please, if you can, let me know how many seats want reserving from each car Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Richard Jon, you are down for one dinner. Dicky; start, as detailed above, is 10AM. The route will take from 6 to 10 hours depending on how you drive, how much you stop and what the weather/conditions are like on the day. Driving at a sensible speed and with a few tea breaks/picnic you should be back at the finish, near the start, by 6ish PM. You must have a hot date Dicky.

Chris Maybe That sounds fine to me, if we find ourselves running late we can always miss off the last bit so I can get back.

Guest diesel_jim Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Soooo..... how did it all go? eveyone back and accounted for? any good mishaps? (that needed photographic tiddle taking evidence on here?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Well I'm back. Darn good day out, thanks Chris Nice bimble rounds the plain and reassuring to see so many routes still open. Biggest mishaps I saw was Denis damaging a tyre valve so quite uneventful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon W Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Brilliant day out, had a really good time, about 10hrs of lanes we did. Must have taken some planning Chris so thank you again for organising it all. Definately be along for another one if there is going to be one.

Guest WALFY Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Chris Cracking day . Best part of 8 hrs laning. Almost 90miles on the GPS. Got to meet a few more faces from the forum, if only briefly at the pub at the end. Mo, Mark, Les and DD. Good to see a few faces I recognised, Tim, Ralph, Jos. Mo and Tim thanks for doing the MM thing. Made it easier for us to concentrate on the clues. Some devious pics. A metal fence post, to be found after almost 70miles of lanes . Lucky to see it in the end. Looking forward to the next 1. Come on Ralph. I know you took some pics :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jos Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Hi, Thanks a lot Chris - we had a great time even if it did rain in whenever we were going down hill - and Mrs Jos was even inspired to have a go (and suggest I could bitch for her...). I was really impressed witht he amount of organisation: 9 hours + of lanes with only minimal road driving, a really good route. Also thanks to Mark, John & Richard et al for showing us the way! Good to see familiar faces from 7S again too: Chris, Walfy, Jo, Tim. Long day by midnight when we got back - and a worringly hot and stiff gearbox - must drive slower on the motorway... Cheers, Jos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthdicky Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 As everyone else has said, thanks Chris it was a fantastic day out. Memory Map says we did 89.6 miles over 9 1/2 hours, and averaged 9.5mph. We only got slightly lost once or twice (would have been a lot more without MM!) and saw lots of areas of the Plain I hadn't seen before. Only got 2 pictures as the weather wasn't all that great for getting out of the vehicle - this was when Jonathan was making the most of now having an engine that can cope with a bit of water! Cheers Mark, Jos & co. for teaming up! Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nas90 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Got back home about 23-30 last night, absolutely dog-tired having set-off at 06-00. Excellent day laning, many thanks to Chris, Si, Western and team for all the effort, weather not much different to the first outing, only difference was the temperature was slightly higher! Our outing on Saturday was about the only sensible sporting event available on the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
