*assumes available internet connection...

There are three things in my life right now - my kids, my zed and my obsession with Internet technology...

Thanks Dad, you made me tear up! Gaz Jr.

Yeah I know what you mean with obsession with things
I'm never off my ipad
It must get on Alan's nerves

I'm all booked in! See you all there while I'm cruising down in the Bertini. Not sure which one I'm taking down there yet. It will be either Blue, Red or my new Black one here is a picture of the blue and the red Bertini taken at last years London to Brighton. It was a lot of fun.

Hi Anthony, I'll be running down from Hemel on that morning so if you want can meet up and run in together. RHA. Roy.

So just wondering how this run actually works, maybe those who've been before can share.
I see we have set start times and will be given a route. Will there be check points?
Is it just a paper map on the day or can the route be plotted on Google maps in advance?
Anything else interesting to note?
Looking forward to it..

Nah...... just rock up and go with the flow

there are some turn by turn directions that we are given which I think are called Variegation notes and these are to be read to you by the Navigator as your going along some examples where supplied in the original "interest" thread so here they are again.

I'm available to navigate for anyone with enough money to get me there. I can read some English now that I've been on forum for over a year now. I love adventure and seeing new places. I'm good at focusing on the task at hand. And my granddaughter has gone on her third sleep over this week and the suns shining again. JIM

S**t Jim, is winter over already.

For today! This time of year is a crapshoot. Two days ago it was +19c yesterday and broke a record. Yesterday was -4 and blowing so hard on one section of the highway had vertually zero visability for about a mile. Welcome to my world. Did take a spin about with Nik on Wednesday though. Top down and grinning away. You're back on the road again I see. Nice!!

Isn't Variegation something to do with plants? Anyway there is no chance my other half would navigate...makes her car sick...lol...she just likes to sit there and look pretty....which is fine with me...she does...I just have to tell her when we are going to stop so she can lippy up....real girl

I know it's late, but I've just been confirmed as the last entrant!! Had to wait for my student loan so I was worried I'd miss the entry but fortunately not. Unfortunately my start time is at 11am so I won't be with everyone else, however, I've been told z.org will have group parking at Madeira Drive so it will be nice to hopefully meet a few of you at the other end!

 

[Dino D]

They just sent a newsletter round saying it's totally sold out, well done for getting in, should be a great day!

 

[brilie]

Look what I've just received in the post today
Departure time of 10.03 .Hope all the zed so are together?

 

[Z3Parker]

Just received mine this morning, 609. Departure at 10:58 unfortunately as I was a late entry, should be a good day though!
