So what's the crack about overtaking, as I see a lot of old men in front

Bit of a long story Tony, I took it to a garage to have a window regulator fitted, they then rang me to say it had been done, when I got to
the garage the owner had driven my car into his steel ramps and cracked all the front splitter! He did apologise and ordered a replacement
the following day but its not a stock item so had to be made and now I am expecting delivery anytime! But it then has to be sprayed and fitted.
Its been off the road during all the sunny days we rarely have in Wales. Not a Happy Bunny.
Bugger! I should think you're not happy, we all know accidents happen but so frustrating all the same. Hope it comes soon for you.
Tony.

Just a quick update to let you know of the etiquette of these runs.
1. Over taking is allowed but only to be done when safe to do so.
2. The man in front should not turn untill they can see the car behind them and that that car has seen them turn.
3. Irrelevant of which Group you are in. You drive at the pace you are comfortable with. If the cars in front shoot off then do not worry as one of the cars will be waiting at the next turn/junction.
4. Always be courteous to other road users
5. Be very careful on single track roads
6 This area is a cyclist and walkers haven so watch for out for them.
7 No over taking of the lead car
8 Back marker only to have headlights on
9. when overtaking other vehicles, cyclists or walkers if it is safe for the next car to overtake then the car in front should keep their indicators on to say it is clear and turn them off if they feel the car behind will not be able to overtake
Basically drive the way you feel comfortable with and do not worry about the cars going faster at the front it is not a race and you do not need to keep up with them. There will be someone who will be waiting at the Junctions ahead.
So if you see you have been shuffled into a faster group then do not worry as this is a groups day out it is not designed for individuals.
I want weather permitting for everyone to be able to enjoy this and do not want anyone to feel they were in away bullied by the cars in front faster paces.
It is your day out enjoy it your way

Excellent. After the 3 days I've just had I could do with some nice weather.Latest weather prediction dry all day
You certainly don't want a day like it's been in Lincoln all day today. Sick of getting dripped on. . . . . . .
