I'll stick at the back with Dai too I think. Need to get some video footage.
Hope the weathers good.
Gav: That "Ferrari" must have been an MR2 conversion because you're car sucks!

Whats up Dai?! I need more footage to sit in the drawer of my desk, next to all the track footage of your car, and the Wales run!

We should all, as already stated by the Welshman, just stick together and take it easy for once. Its all very well making a bit of progress in small groups, but when there is a lot of cars out it can get a bit edgy.
Its not a race, lets just enjoy it!

Ok, here's the proposal. We split up into two groups for the first bit of the route. I'll take one half from the Unicorn up to the car park where we are meeting mykp. This will be a gentle(ish) drive as a kind of warm up.
For those wanting a more spirited drive, straight out of the blocks, Dai has offered to take the other group a different way up a certain well known local road.
You can decide yourself which group you want to start in, as long as we end up close to 50/50 split.
The two groups will then meet up again at a pre-arranged rendezvous (sp??) point, where people can decide if they were comfortable with the pace or not.
The next leg of the journey is the best bit imho as it's several miles of long straights, off-camber corners, hairpin bends, blind corners and even airborne activity (if you want). Those who want to press on can go to the front behind me, those who wish to trundle can stay towards the back.
We then regroup at the bottom of the hill to compare notes and grins (hopefully!) and again, decide if you would prefer to move up or down the pack.
The rest of the route is relatively straight forward with the exception of two town centres, but I would love for us all as a full group to convoy through them, as the accoustics between the buildings are awesome!!
I'm collecting 3 spare radios from cw42 tonight and we will have a mobile phone number swapping session before we leave, so we should be able to keep in contact somehow.
Is that ok?
(Please forgive me if the above is a load of rubbish but this my first go at organising an event.
