I expect to be there just after 12:00 but the run is quite long with several pick-up points so lots of things could transpire to make us late or early. 12:00 is a good estimate

Also a couple are joining the run from the lay-by on the A19 Northbound of the Silverlink Roundabout, the one opposite the old Siemens building. If your coming from the North Tyne areas, and don't want to do the double trip through the Tunnel, then the run should pass that point shortly after 10.15. The run won't be stopping at that point, so if you are joining there, can you ensure you have printed off a copy of Bob's route map (as previously issued). I'll have some spare copies with me for those joining at the A184.

See you all Sunday thumbup

That sounds interesting.

Yes the sun was with us all day, unfortunately so were the police. They had set up along the way and so we behaved, they didn't. They couldn't find anyone speeding so they picked off a T350 doing 74mph on the A1, arseh0les. Later on, a lot further north and once the bib had established our route they set up a camera van. Too late, we drove passed before he got set up hehe

37 cars lined up in the Holy Island car park, it was a good day
