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

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 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

Manson good to have you with us on the south wales run

Evening Jon,
Yep I'm staying over on Friday night, all booked up. I'm travelling up from Autolusso but doubt the car will be ready in time to travel up with you guys. (I'll see if I can get her booked in a day earlier so I can join the convoy)
Cant wait!

Hi - as a newbie can I say how gutted I am to be missing this as I'll be working all weekend. The Northern run goes within 3 miles of my house and a bit later within 400 yards of my work

I hope it's a cracking weekend, may the skies and the roads both be empty

Thanks Danny sorry you can't make it.. We'll be back next year and I'm sure Rmaxeman (the north wales rep) will be organising something similar as well
