It'd make a nice group photo at the top of B'tubs, give those SMACS upstarts something to think about 
(That's the 22 cars, not JB's ****)

To clarify a few points:
Meeting point 1 : Rhubarb Triangle pub
DEPART at 6:30am
Meeting point 2 : Airport tunnel
DEPART at 7:00am
Meeting point 3 : A65 Layby
DEPART at 7:30am
PLEASE make sure you're where you should be WHEN you should be. It's not going to be fair on everyone else to waste time waiting for just one or two folk
My mob number is somewhere on page 3. If you are going to miss a meeting point then call me and I'll give you details of the next stop / rest / natter point so's you can catch up.
I'll be printing out a sheet for everyone with the route on, as well as some other info. If you get lost or we end up getting split up, use the sheet to find the next regroup point, there's a good few of them on there just in case.
20+ cars is a lot to keep together, but if we're all sensible about things then it should go nice and smoothly.
Above all, we'll be going through some stunning scenery on some fanastic roads. Enjoy the day SAFELY.

Anyone have anything to add?
Who's got some walkie talkies?

I do have four functioning Binatone devices.. however... they were not the best things the club's ever bought..
We thought we only had three as we believed one to be broken as you couldn't understand what was being said.. I quickly realised that this was only slightly worse than the other 3.
The only thing they are good for is looking at the little red light that says 'power' or holding down some paper that might blow away. You can merrily press the button and talk into them, but unfortunately the signal travels just short of 23.6ft and promptly dies on its ****.. put a thin pane of car glass in the way and you're buggered ... IF & I mean IF you got the right atmospheric conditions and were going down hill with a decent wind, then it MIGHT just reach another Binatone device. Hopwever, the resultant noise coming from the speaker will bear no resemblance to what was uttered in the other end.. even if you managed to hear a recognisable syllable.. the car would have to be doing 0 MPH as any noise above engine tickover drowns out the other person..
I believe Bary had one clipped to his seat belt inches from his ear and all he heard all day was a comedy noise that sounded remarkebly like a vertically challenged Brtish Rail announcer shouting over a 1946 speaker system... this was Dazza shouting.. 'Come in Chocolate tea cake..my man ***** are jiggling about, 10-4 good buddy' (in response to the T20 suspension set on 9.)
This came out to Barry as 'lllllllllllll pzzzzz hiss pft Boob xxvvtty rrr zzingg poof...'
If they've not been burned or drop kicked into a fast flowing river, I can bring them along and we can try them for 30 seconds before throwing them into the footwell..
Otherwise.. we can look to buy something better or borrow them off a Truck company fleet manager / owner, BT worker **cough** or similar blagging...from someone..

How long do these trips normally last?? I might be able to make a few hours but family engagements in the afternoon will mean me turning back by lunch time.

NOTICE TO ALL
Just put the route into my navi and it's 242 miles from the FT to Squires!
If anyone feels that this is too much say so NOW. If there's more than the odd couple objecting then I'll revise the route.
PoB: Yes, there'll be a lunch break at a nice pubelick house, dress code is OTW (Owt Tha Wants)
Anyone fancy a Redbeck brekky at around 5:15 just to get the day a-going?

It's not much less in a Scoob.
...and the Evo has a smaller tank
There's a V-power equipped filling station at the 100 mile (or so) mark
