That was a great day. I love those photos.
Congratulations to Pete for all his hard work planning the route and stops. Thanks also for all those of you who came to join in the fun.
Well what a day! This was the Sunday when the sun shone all day long and the temperature reached 23°C. With a new route to try out Pete was slightly apprehensive at first but really pleased 19 cars turned up for the run, 14 Mr2’s and five others. We all met at the Hythe Services on the M20 near Folkestone where we had plenty of parking space. So much so we decided to line them all up and take a few photos. At 11.30am we set off on our country run and guess what? Someone missed the first turn and those behind him all followed. Typical! They soon realised their error and turned back and joined the rest of us who stopped to wait for them. That was the only time we got separated. It was a leisurely hour’s drive through the Kent Downs heading towards Canterbury but once we were about to join the main road we turned and headed back along the A2 towards Dover. Shortly after passing the Lydden Hill race circuit we turned off the main road once again onto the country lanes. Our first stop was for an hour at the Battle of Britain memorial, a tribute to the pilots who fought the Germans in the sky’s over the English Channel during WW2. There was only a chance to glimpse at the memorial but what we saw was very humbling and made many of us to promise ourselves to return on our own some day to pay our proper respects. The second part of the run was a bit hazy for me, the author of this report as I was late getting ready and I missed the boat. By the time I was ready everyone had gone! I knew the route they were heading and thought I could take a short cut to catch them up but I got caught behind an old lady driver in her granny wagon on a county road and lost all hope so I went straight to the last stopping place just outside Dover called Samphire Hoe. I had never been there before but I learnt that Samphire Hoe is a new piece of land created by Eurotunnel during the construction of the Channel Tunnel and is now a wild life nature reserve.

It was a great day out. Love the photos Jane and I enjoyed the day. Bring on the next one.
Great write up... made me chuckle when I read about the first turn and half the group got separated.

Next day at work was quite embarrassing as my face was bright red from the sun. It could have been august.
Apologies if my pictures are duplicates of the others but I'll post them anyway.
Well I was busy with work and didn't get time to wash it myself
Those cool bonnet graphics
