Hi all, I was looking to do something a bit different next year and wondered if I could drum up any interest on the forum. Basically, I would like to do a kind of gumball rally cruise from lands end to john o groats. This rally would involve no times, more of a major cruise really. I would look to camp along the way every night and would plan the stops in advance to make it easy for anyone that wants to tag along. I would look to do this in convoy with as many other cars as possible.
If not, I would be looking for a co driver or 2.
I would like to get all the local presses involved and make it a charity event.

I think that's enough waffling for now, just wanted to see if anyone is up for a major omega convoy across the uk?

The reason I say next year is to allow us to save the money and work out the route/overnight stops.

Thanks
Mike

    I'd be interested.

[Cumbria]

[Snips]

that is a bit different! better get saving. would cost a hell of a lot in fuel! we dont drive very economical cars here do we!

[al and omega]

Great idea i'd be up for it, imagine a huge convoy of migs, fantastic!

[The Red Baron]

who will be driving the fuel tanker then ?

who will be driving the fuel tanker then ?  

gordon brown whilst rubbing his hands together at all the money he and his corrupt cronnies will be earning from us, t*ssers

[m1ct]

First penny in the jar towards this good cause from me! Hope it works out!

[The Red Baron]

i hope it comes off also, & gordon brown can get stuffed. lets go for it

Wow! I am really pleased with the interest that this has attracted!
I am away camping in rainy (and I mean rainy) Cornwall at the moment. I am due back tomorrow, but just to confirm, this is for next summer, and this is a run from the far south to the far north on a sponsored basis for charity.
I have never organised anything like this before, so if someone wants to volunteer to help, I would be grateful. I am looking to have the camping stops planned in advance so that if you wanted to meet half way and do half the run, you would know where to find us.
I would be looking to get the local press and any Vauxhall dealers we could involved.
My intention is to get a largish map and plan 150 ish miles per day from lands end.

Thanks for your interest and I can't think of anything better than 20 or so migs running the length of the country. So, its £200 worth of fuel, surely its worth it?

Any interested runners have an idea of what charity we could do it for, UNISEF?

Thanks
Mike

could ask my mate in cornwall, he managed to get lots of sponsors for his run, but then again it was with a 1929 traction engine. he did top to bottom. will give him a call for idea`s. this sounds like its going to be a go-er. also, dont forget, that wherever you are in the country, if you do the whole run, that means you are doing the length of the country twice..ummm that puts your cost`s up a bit eh. thought i would mention that.
