Dates prevailing ... I'll definitely be up for this.

Amazing drive, just dug out a cheeky snap from last year as a taster (afraid it is my little 206gti in the frame not my zed.. )

Sunday 3rd of March??

Or maybe Sunday 24th of February??

The March day would be better for me... :)

Come on Stuart, get this organised so we can all see your garage Queen out of the garage and where it should be, on the road!

Somehow managed to miss this thread up to now, but I'll be there if I'm free. Can't do the last week in Feb, but at the mo pretty much anything else should be good.
Not been on a run yet, so would be good to meet up with some of you guys!

Don't mean to open a massive can of worms here, but... Is it worth considering an alternative route/location? South Wales was mentioned previously?

Fine to look at a South Wales run, but Cheddar is one I want to do so let's keep this thread for Cheddar an open a new one for South Wales. If someone with local knowledge wants to step up and organise... :thumbsup:

Maybe the thread title should be renamed 'The (not so) Great South West Run'... :tumbleweed: :yawn:

Visiting family today otherwise I would've been at the Midlands one :(

Come on country bumpkins :lol:

I love the comment about geology and geography - talk about stating the obvious... If you build a road up a gorge, it doesn't stop being a gorge, generally created by running water :lol:

Better drainage required - bloody great storm drains might work.

On topic, I'd love to do this, but it is still rugby season (even though it was cancelled this morning because of frozen pitches and snow :( )
Current... Silver Grey ///M Roadster, non-flimper spec, Imola Red nappa, permanent ear-to-ear grin 8)

Previous... 3.0Si Sport Roadster, Black Sapphire, Dream Red leather with lots of toys and lots of mods...

I'm still up for it! The weekend after is looking better for me at the moment, but I *might* be able to make the 3rd if that's when it happens.
