Might be a good bit of PR / advertising to include that.
I mentioned this on a previous run and it was agreed that although this is an ESOC organised event, other marquees are often seen in attendance.

Similar to above, you dont need to be an ESOC member to attend anyone, subaru or not is welcome

Dan,

Sure it's because you have been plenty busy as you've already mentioned, but any word on the official thread?

I don't mind stepping in to start it if it seems you can't get round to it anytime soon.

Would love to complete one, few years back my car gave up with HG failure mid way round. Could be more fun with anti lag and RCM team ice....

Will check with the boss!

So yes, absolutely - keep it free and get involved. It's for a good cause.
Maybe this Run VI from 2009?


and this Run VIII from 2011

Thanks Dan, Lorraine, Rab555 for getting this all kicked off and organised this year

Been very busy of late with training for my new job position ! It's been like going back to collage and learning a completely different job
But I've got a few weeks off now until i start my next bout of training

Thanks for heads up L.J.F with VRX lot planning a tunnel run on the same night

Unfortunately it's going to be a busy night up London on the 26th Also VRX lot will be meeting at lakeside also and leaving at 9pm ALSO

It should be fun

Maybe it should be re-branded as the ...... Scooby vs VRX Battle of the Tunnel Runs


Anyway ..................

I have the routes / circuits done

The plan is to give out the maps, with the stickers + H4H merchandise sales

Maps are quite easy to follow

It will be a 3 printed maps with 5 to 8 postcode directions on them with re-group postcode locations and leaving times

You can loop the circuit until you've had enough, then head off to the re-group location

If your having fears of not knowing where you will be going then take a look at the Summer or 2012 Tunnel Run routes for a basic idea
It's not really changed much from them routes !

I've just made it a bit simpler with having the postcodes of the route way-points printed on the map. Loop / circuit points will be stated on the map also So anyone with navigation app on there phone can use these routes No TomTom or Garmin required
You should have time at lakeside to program the postcodes into your phone, save them under favorite locations and then just navigate from postcode to posecode Or have your shotgun navigator inputting them on the fly

Hopefully we won't get too many lost scoobs this year ...... Lorraine

Hopefully the weather won't be as cold as last year also

Lets make it a good one and dig deep for a worth while charity

I would worry about another car owners forum turning as I doubt they will have 1/5th the size of the Subaru's turning up.
