The Great South West Run...

Used to be able to park on the beach at Uphill, excellent place for photos (just watch out for tides:))

There was also an excellent pub at the base of the Mendip Way in Churchill, again excellent for photos, that we used to visit a lot when I was stationed at Locking...

Would love to join this for the memory lane trip, but a 4 hour drive to get there is a bit far :(

Tapatalking...
 
:( Just been told by Mrs that she is working nights on the 27th. :headbang: best date for me is the 20th if thats possible, subject to weather ofcourse. :roll:

The Crown is still a hidden gem of an old-skool pub if you like CAMRA quality beer and good food, unfortunately Tim the landlord for 27 yrs passed away a couple of months ago. He was a great bloke with a passion for big Healeys so it's always been a car-club friendly pub, if you can park and get in the door!
 
Just noticed this thread but living in Bristol I'm up for it as long as I'm home. I'm working 8th to 22nd Jan and then 31st onwards. I also know a fair amount of routes in this area from my biking days.
 
I'm hoping to confirm the 20th. I might have to cry off my own run though, I don't want to contact the office for any reason if at all possible

I'll change the title and add the 20th as a date.
 
Folks, thanks to some feedback from locals (thanks Greg) it appears the Gorge road is still closed and somewhat damaged by the floods.

I think this run is best postponed until February or when we know for sure the road is open

Sorry folks, Rain stopped play :thumbsdown:
 
Heard, then saw a TVR T350, then Sagaris come through whilst the wife and I were walking...I was pretty envious! Had my 3.0i at the time, think my M with bypass pipes should sound closer to the TVR next time round :evil:
