[MangoFury]

Got it. Thanks David and Oli. See you at Ropley Dean. I'll do my best to be there on time but don't wait

Excellent run out today chaps, really enjoyed it & no break downs (that I'm aware of). Thanks all.

That's easily the second best thing to do on a Sunday morning before 08:00.

[OliilO]

Really enjoyed it too and good to meet you all, great route with some varied roads. I'll have a look and see if any of the video I have is any good this evening.

& no break downs (that I'm aware of). Thanks all.

Indeed, even the BEC survived unscathed!

Nice run today guys - glad that I got up for it. Top breakfast too in the glorious sunshine - I'd give it an 8.5/10.
Good to meet new member Oli with his 'blade engined car. Hope that we see you out again soon.

That was a nice run on the return home too David, so thanks for planning that.

[SteveRST]

No pics - didn't happen.
Come on - I saw the cameras out on the day. The 'short run' boys managed to post up some fantastic pictures. So get your pics out

I'll have to post lame phone phone pics I took then.

07:15 meeting point... some garage somewhere in the middle of nowhere. 8 cars raring to go!

The photos look pretty good to me Steve.
Compton Abbas airfield is rather more photogenic than the Chalet

[David T]

We both really enjoyed the run. Thanks to Mark for the outbound route and Mango for the return route.

For any doubters, here are a few of Mrs T's pics:







Or perhaps we just copied last year's identical pics. Anybody else take any?

So, where are we off to next?
