Just an address update for those that don't know where this Meet is. It's up the track that leads past the Shoulder of Mutton pub, which is on a very nasty bend with a concealed entrance.

Addy for satnav. Church Street Little Horwood, Milton Keynes MK17 0PF.

Most certainly The more the merrier and we positively encourage as many as possible to attend, and that includes those with cars other than the ones the rally is for.

I'm organising the convoy run as I live fairly local to Little Horwood and know my way around the area, which actually makes it hard as despite this part of the world being home to me, I have great trouble thinking of anywhere remotely interesting in the locality Luckily my kids have given me some ideas and I'll be recce-ing possible runs tomorrow...

The convoy usually happens on the Saturday but if Sunday is thought to be a generally better day for it then I'm happy either way...

great look forward to that then. i'm coming from bristol. so anyone coming from the south west want to organise something? could meet at Leigh Delamere services M4 eastbound?

...yes, as Jim has said anyone and everyone is welcome to attend and don't forget the great value it is this year- £5 ALL WEEKEND and FREE CAMPING.

Been out for a (very) long drive in the Activa today recceing the convoy drive. I've found a great destination and have two possible routes to it. One of about 30 miles and the other of about 12. Both are scenic and both hardly touch built up areas or main roads except where necessary or it adds to the experience.

The destination offers a fairly quick blat back to the rally site along mostly main roads should that be wanted.

Both routes comprise far more left turns at junctions than rights and no right turns out onto main roads unless absolutely unavoidable. So far, just one on a quiet B road. I've also tried to avoid really congested little villages where cars are parked twenty deep in the road.

Question is, is the consensus for the long or short route, given that the long one is over an hour's run from the rally site due to the twistiness and smallness of some of the roads. Please give me your thoughts.

Although I'm keeping quiet about the destination, I think it'll go down well. there's some interesting stuff to do there (all free) and it's perfect for a picnic.

Robyn and I will test drive it soon to test the navigation instructions. If Robyn can find it then anyone will be able to (don't let her know I said that or I'll be toast )

So long as its gentle on my clutch Jim i dont mind

It's OK Dean, we don't really do hills around these parts.. It might be like the Alps compared to the Fens where the National was held last month but generally the steepest stuff around these parts are hump-back bridges and slip roads...

Your clutch will be fine

if im there on saturday i will do the long route Jim.

if i wanted to stay over, where the best place to stay? (havent got a tent) as i could come saturday afternoon then stay over and get a good start sunday morning!
