Yes, it is a go-er because I will be doing it, I am just trying to get more members to do it with me!
I have got to drive 300 miles south to get to lands end and then back up again....oh well!

Planning this will give me something to do at work!!!

Interesting idea........how long do you think it will take for the run?? 4/5 days??

Will watch the thread with interest

stick my name down for it mike. definately up for it. maybe the wife will have the guts to drive it by then, she`s scared to bits to drive it at the moment. ah well eh. keep us informed.

i'm up for this.

[mike213735]

Ok, just checked the distance and it is about 850 miles, so based on my 150 per day, we would be looking at about 6 days. I am allowing 2 weeks because I need to drive from reading to lands end, then to john o groats and then back to reading.
Mind you, I have put 2000 miles on my old girl in the last 2 weeks, so she should be fine!

Thanks
Mike

OK, I'm back for rainy Cornwall and would be looking at the following dates.

Meet at a campsite (for a night or two) somewhere near Lands End on either:
Friday / Saturday 14th / 15th Aug 09
or
Friday / Saturday 21st / 22nd Aug 09

With the Bank Holiday being Monday 24th. As I said, I am allowing 2 weeks for this, so I can take advantage of a midway BH or a days rest at the end before returning to work!

Lets see some genuine interest then:-

1) Mike213735 (hopefully with Family)

mike, what was you thinking of for the accomodation..Ie. tent, van or lodge

[mike213735]

My family and I will be staying in a tent, but you are welcome to stay in whatever you like.

Once we decide on the break towns, you could plan your accomodation if you didn't want to camp.

I will be trying to get the campsites we stay at on the way to help us in any way they can. Maybe a bit of publicity for them?

Thanks
Mike

ok. i was just wondering as we have a massive tent, it would be a bit of a bugger to put up & take down for one night stops... no probs, will go out & get a 2 person easy up one..ta.
