Right who’s up for some of these nice roads then

http://inlinethumb14.webshots.com/14...600x600Q85.jpg



As the title suggests there will be two separate runs happening over the weekend so you can choose to do either or both if you fancy making a weekend of it.

We are currently trying to arrange some deals on overnight accommodation for the Saturday Night – and we have identified a hotel and a campsite in close proximity to the start point of the South Wales Run (details to be released shortly)

If you are interested in attending please state in your RSVP whether you’re doing the North Wales or South Wales Run or Both – if you are planning to do both please indicate if you will require accommodation on the Saturday evening and whether you would like to camp or stay in the hotel so we can get an idea of numbers.

E.g. North, South, Both – No Accomodation, Both – Hotel or Both – Camping,

-----------------------------------------------------------

The Run Details

The North Wales Run II is on Saturday 11th October

Start Point is the Holiday Inn Chester West - meet at 10.00am for 10.30am Start

Its in the garage at the moment. I was going to do it myself but after waiting 3 weeks for the parts to arrive I thought stuff it and booked it in.
This is what happened, the balance belt snapped. Fortunately the cam belt is still attached so it could have been worse!

Edit: 18:25 - Got a call from the garage today, No compression in any cylinder so its a new head and valves as well! £2300 for the repair! Think the Red Wine may be making an appearance tonight!
