    I'll be there Steve. Not allowed to eat anything tasty or drink anything alcoholic but it's better to be there keeping an eye on these pikey buggers rather than staying home waiting for them to camp on my lawn again.

    For the record, no one slept on your lawn.
    Dropping their kecks in the middle of it? Yep, guilty as charged. :D

    I didn't mind them driving on the grass. It was the ploughing of the borders on their way out...

    Right dudes, is everyone ok to meet at raven cafe at 8-8.30 am? Have a quick brew, then off.

    Let's prey for nice weather!

    I think we are best doing the drop off system, man behind the leader waits at a turn when there is one and points the rest of the guys. We will be stopping for fuel and the odd fag break and lunch in the way....this ok for everyone?

    I'll take my turn at the Devon Hotel roundabout.

    Sounds pretty okay to me Si:)
    Sure I'll join up with jetmad-Thefirebloke-Craig somewhere on or around theM55/M6.
    Have we got final attendance runners/riders & a rough idea of a route yet?

    I think, judging by numbers, there are 14+ of us. Some are meeting in Devon at the Hotel.

    As for route, down the A49, and peel off...i'll be using the sat nag, and avoid motorways if that's ok? Also, a good stretch on the way includes a hell of a lot of double whites, and judging by last years trip, the traffic was chock a block in places. But, a good run never the less, and great to catch up and chew the fat at night. I haven't booked a table at the restaurant as yet, does everyone want to eat there? I'll do some waypoints on the way, but the drop off system shouldn't lose anyone at all, so we should at least all be together....

    I Should be able to pop down, its only 1hr 15min from me. The blade is in the garage and not sold yet so might be able to meet you for your final leg of the run. Alternatively I can come down in the van, park up and drink the night away with you.

    Book a table if you like mate, saves messing about trying to get us all in somewhere else. But I'll go with the flow..

    Book a table Si the chance of 14 booking a table at short notice would be pretty slim I would think.
