    Well after some playing around i have the new route on google maps so people can import it onto their phone which may make life easier..
    also here are the post codes for stop points incase anyone gets lost..
    Currently works out around 60 miles.. which is about 2 miles less than the old route.. but some new and exciting roads..

    we do also have a completely new route going a different way completely which will be run later in the year.. was test run couple years back and is much fun and would love to run it again..

    then next stop will be Worlds wonder TN26 2LU

    I would be up for this, but i may be in the MK2 as the Aw11 is currently off the road for a restoration (or at least enough to see it back reliably on the road). I assume SW20's are welcome?

    If I get my brakes and tyres sorted I may feel more confident doing this, at the moment I can't stop or take corners fast at all....

    No need to sign up or anything like that. Just turn up. It's very easy to find the starting point, go down the M20, exit at Junction 9 (Ashford), take 1st exit at roundabout. You can see the large retail park on your right and we gather outside Burger King

    If anyone makes it on Sunday please come and say hello. This is my Mk1 with a boot rack, that's me in the red cap which I shall be wearing on Sunday and that's my son Mark on the electric scooter, he'll be there as well. You can't really miss us.



    Here's looking forward to another great day

    Cheers Alan, looking forward to it. Just need a phone mount so I can get those routes on my google maps and use it as a sat nav.
