18th April: Run out

Post by spokey »

I'm getting that itch again. :shock: :P

This will be a Sunday run for a change, so Garythefish can make it. :D

It will start at 10:00 (sharp!) from the A1 Services at Baldock, take in some "approved" roads to lunch at a pub in the Cambs / Northants border area and then an hour after lunch for those who want to finishing off at a pub in Northants.

Who's interested?

I've had to close the cruise to new entrants because it's already way too long for me to handle on my own. I've asked for people to confirm attendance, if it drops back down to a manageable number, you're at the top of the list! :)

12 cars, which is already 2 wings for me. I've had someone offer to lead a wing, which makes what I already have manageable, but I'm hoping to get one more wing leader to open it up for a couple more cars. :)

A wing is a group of cars. It's very difficult for the cruise leader to manage all the cars if you have more than about six, so the cars get split into groups or wings, which require a wing leader...
