MR2 Rye Run. Sunday 5th April. Details.
The route has now been tested satisfactorily and the details are as follows:
The Rye run will be split into two legs.
The first leg is from the motorway services on the M20 (J8) to Rye Harbour where there will be a break for refreshments.
The second leg is to the Bentley wild fowl and car museum near Lewes where the run will end. It is not our intention to go into the museum but it is just somewhere convenient to end the run. (Please note there is no access to toilet facilities from the museum car park) If the weather is nice that day there is a pub down the road where we can have a beer.
Meet at the Motorway services on the M20, Junction 8.
The run starts at 11.30am but please arrive by at least 11.00am so we can hand out directions and any last minute details. We leave the services and head passed Leeds Castle, going through the Kent Weald via Tenterden to Rye Harbour, approx 30 miles of country roads. There is a large car park at the harbour with public toilets, a small pub and cafe. We will be there for approx one hour. Have a beer or cup of tea. A packed lunch is always a good option.
At 1.30pm we leave Rye Harbour and go through Hastings and then Battle ending up at The Bentley car museum. Approx 40 miles of lovely Kent country roads.
(Times are approximate and for guidance only)
Below is the route please feel free to print this as would be a great help to the organiser in the no. of copies they have to bring..
