The Cambridge Region are planning a run to Rutland Water on the 21st April. Please register your interest now - more details to follow...

Grahame

 

Yep, I'll be up for it! Worth a post on www.scoobycity.co.uk too (if you haven't already - haven't looked yet).

The only day I have free now to help you recce the route is the 20th now though That's assuming you still need a hand .

Cheers
Richard

 

Put me down

Rob

 

Oh go on then

Had any thoughts re meeting place & route??

Hugh

 

Excellent

I did a recce of the route on Easter Monday and it takes in some nice Northamptonshire countryside and even skirts under the grandstand at Rockingham Motor Speedway. The roads aren't bad either

I propose we start from our usual place - the pub in Barrington (The Royal Oak - cheers Richard) and stop for lunch at The Eight Bells in Abbotsley as we did on the Grafham Water run. The first part of the route follows The Grafham Water Run route up to Kimbolton but then goes across country to Oundle with a stop at a watering hole before continuing on up to Rutland Water. People can then return home down the A1.

Richard - thanks for your offer of assistance, but I'll need to get the directions sorted and printed before the 20th. Where can I find the route symbols that you used on previous runs? Maybe we could do a dummy run on the 20th?

Hi Grahame,

It's The Royal Oak at Barrington. I'll e-mail you a document with all of the symbols on to make life easier .

20th for a dummy run sounds good...

Cheers
Richard

 

Yep

 

Back to the top...

 

Two more here

 

Keep 'em coming...()

 

would love to come along the first thing the old woman asks is what about the kids are they welcome?? any other brats attending?

 

Count me in please !
Stan

 

Sorry, won't be coming on this now - small rearrangement of paintwork/bumper/PIAAs courtesy of one fence and one incompetent driver (me) on the way up to The Big One today I might pop over and say hello before you set off though. Grahame, you'll have to find someone else to do the dummy run too, sorry

Richard

 

Not 100% sure but if I can, I will

If I do, I'll bring the Ez too

Of course kids are welcome, Ez has done 2 Ring of Cambridge Runs

Richard, get your m8 to redo in CF

 

redo in CF?

Sorry, being dense... what do you mean?

 

Richard
Sorry to hear about your intimacy with a fence Can't you just tank tape the bumper for the run (and you don't need the PIAAs during the day)? Hope nothing too serious.

Tiny
As Puff says, kids are welcome.

 

More damage done to self-confidence than the car, Grahame... structurally the bumper's fine - deep gouge marks where the wire fence cut into it. Decided never to do another run as I don't trust myself...

Where's the other watering hole you mention? I might meet you there or at Abbotsley...

Cheers
Richard

 

if my car is out of the garage ill attend.

bye

Driving lamp, not headlamp Anyone know where I can get PIAA lenses (only) from?

Cheers
Richard

 

Richard,
The other watering hole will hopefully be The Mill just outside Oundle (going north, take left turn off the A605 signposted Oundle - on my map the turning is opposite a village called Barnwell St. Andrew). Pub is on your left (a large mill like structure ). I expect we'll get there around 3- 3.30.

Grahame

 

BH

Sorry, I had to......

Replacement lenses - GGR, Demon Tweeks etc - see a list of stockists here www.piaa.co.uk

About £45 IIRC.

 

Count me in. It sounds like the route your planing will be within a couple of miles of my house, Just hope you avoiding the B645?? we wouldn't want to upset too many bikers now would we!!

 

Just had the menu from the landlord of the pub where we'll be stopping for Sunday lunch. For 9.50 there is a choice of:

Roast beef
Roast leg of lamb
Roast leg of pork
Fresh fillet of salmon with lemon and parsley butter and blanched almonds
Vegetable galette with cheddar melt

Choice of dessert

Coffee & mints

To ensure you get your first choice, let me know what you want.

Grahame

 

Are we still all ok for this coming Sunday - I understand the sun is going to shine
Does the lunchtime menu tickle your tastebuds?

 

Grahame,

I'm definitely coming on Sunday, as is another (newly Sport owning) mate. We are probably going to bring a couple of young lady friends too

Food sounds good.

Ben.

 

GMAY YHM, thanks again.

Dr Pepper

 

I'd be up for this.

Anyone on here fancy being co-driver /navigator? As I will have made use of my regular co-driver on the MSA Motorsport Classic on the Thursday and Friday and he has to go home....

I promise to drive sensibly

Robin

 

hi just wondering if theres ne drections, and would it be ok if i tagged along as it would be my first run with u guys

cheers
matt

 

Full route instructions will be handed out at The Royal Oak in Barrington. The village of Barrington is SW of Cambridge. Come off the M11 at junction 11 and onto the A10 towards Royston. After about 2 to 3 miles, look for turning on your right signposted Barrington. Go along road passing through Barrington's wide village green and the pub is towards the end, depending upon which end you come in on .

Can I have your food orders if possible.....

We can't make this now - sorry! Long story but our new dog has come into season and therefore has to stay at home instead of going to my mums for the day where she would drive their male dog mad

We'd bring her with us as she likes being in the car but she'll make it a bit messy if she's in it all day
