My s***'s custom!
Despite being a relative newbie to the forum I have managed to attend 4 events this year. Each one different but each one brilliant. These events only exist because people stuck their necks out and put them together so.....I fancy trying my hand as host.

Me and @Twin Turbo are looking to organise a "season opener" to welcome the (hopefully) better weather next year and also blow off the cobwebs for the drivers who SORN their cars through winter.


Sunday 24th April 2016.

It will start at Morley Hayes golf course as a start point (DE7 6DG) and finish at Chatsworth House (DE45 1PP) taking an indirect route via some great driving roads and landmarks.

Huge update 17/04/16:

As most of you know this is both mine and @Twin Turbo's first event we have organised, and both of us are really pleased with the interest.

I would also apologies over the last few weeks this forum page has not been updated due to work so I would like to thank Twin for assisting during my absence.

I know a more information has been requested, so we hope this will answer everyone's questions.

A couple of questions for every one to think about?

  • Do peeps prefer an single group, or an fast and slow?
  • We will try and avoid an route with speed cameras, as no one wants to win in that game as points don't mean prizes
  • Is there any routes - of special interest?
  • Would people prefer an half day 30-50 miles - or full day 100+ miles

I think getting people comments will be beneficial as we, so we can get most out of the day.

I would prefer less miles as I turn up to most events and I am all the way down in Aylesbury :happy:
