http://www.roundbritainrally.co.uk/ Saw the link from Bruce Smart aka round the world on a Gixer thou and thought some might be interested in getting some points. Its not the cheapest event to enter at £35 but there is clearly a considerable amount of work that goes into it , it can make 'going for a ride out on your bike / weekend trip' a bit more interesting when there is a task / project. In Summary , there are a number of landmarks all over the UK, your task is get a photo of your bike with as many as possible, and the more remote / harder to find ones attract more points. If you enter reply and we can keep tabs of progress - mods can you make sticky if a few enter this Entered Event: AlBlade Lozzy
Looks fun & a good way to see landmarks off the beaten track I'm going to be all over uk this summer so I might have a go at this....especially as the Repsol is the most photogenic blade
Ha....well being as I retire in April I'll have all summer in which to do it but don't worry...I shall think of you workers as I sip my vino at the end of the days travels
Retire? At your age? Only one profession that lets perfectly able bodied Peeps 'Retire' on ace pensions with years of service left in em!
Anyone help please....@Alblade I've downloaded the registration form for this off their website. It's on my samsung phone in google drive as a pdf. I want to be able to fill it in so I can email it back to them. It won't let me write in it? Is it because it's read only at the mo? How do i get it so i can write in it ? I honestly haven't a clue what I'm doing Can anyone explain in very simple terms how I can do this. I need to be able to do it off my phone as no access to computer at mo....
Great to see someone else looking to take part. I think you will struggle on your phone, so my suggestion would be to email the information in the required boxes to the address on the form and explain you are currently unable to print off or type into the document. If you pay the entry fee first I'm sure the guy will be more than happy for another entrant. There are over 1,500 folk registered if my number is anything to go by. I need to start plotting and researching the locations - a few I know and can get with up coming trips too
Thanks I'll try that & forward the fee through internet banking first. I'm really looking forward to this
I'm on the board! The Shroppie Fly Starting Point - Cafe Sleap Aerodrome Craven Arms 3 down, 83 to go!
Looks like its just thee & me carrying the Fireblade flame! Was going to do the A.R.S.E today but I've formulated a cunning plan to sweep those landmarks up on route to tick all the Wales landmarks off at Llan BikeFest time
Revised - Northern on Southern Need to work out better route, without a doubt a trek to get them all - will get a few end April but not sure about the farthest North ones
Ahh that's handy....far better than my Dad's Army mapping system I'm hoping for a prolonged sunny spell this summer in which to do the whole Scotish lot in one go & maybe share a deep fried Mars bar with some of our northern lads on here
This rally is quite serious affair - just had gentle wrist slap from for posting image of landmark from Sunday! Might have to delete them from here and maybe the map link!
Oooops.....just read the small print on the forms & it does say not to post anything like that I'll delete my map. Shame, would have been nice to share the photos but can understand why
