Talking B.A.B.S. TOUR OF BUCKS AND BEDS. 6th March

To kick our event season Ive planned a drive touring bucks and beds ending at a pub where we can have something to eat and drink

We will meet in Milton Keynes from 9am to 9:30am (PLEASE BE NO LATER THAN 9:30) We will put people into groups, those that like a Spirited drive can go in one group and the likes of the Casual drivers/Sunday drivers in another. The first group will be leaving at 10am on the dot followed by the next 10 min later and the next 10min after that and so on till we are all gone. There will be a couple of stop offs on the way, the main on being at Dunstable Downs where there will be toilets etc. We then head off again in groups to finaly end up at the Red Lion, Elstow where we can have a meal etc if we so wish.

The whole route should be around the 120miles so make sure you have a full tank of fuel before you turn up at the start. It will take about 4:30hours to drive including the stops so we should get to the Red Lion from 2:30pm.

We will be holding this event on Sunday 6th March. The route will be printed off and brought to the event and given out on the day.

PLEASE BE AWARE THIS IS NOT A RACE, LOOK OUT FOR OTHER ROAD USERS AND PLEASE ABIDE BY THE LAW. IF YOU GET PULLED FOR SPEEDING OR HAVE AN ACCIDENT WE ARE NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS.

Aye the fuel prices are not helping anyone at the moment, filled mine up the other day at a cost of just over £70

We are staring to get a few more people coming now as it gets closer which is good so should be a decent turn out on the day. Just hope the weather is fine for the day to get some good photos at the stops on the route.

Fill up from 3/4's of tank empty makes it seem alot cheaper

Are you refering to me ! I can't see any post shooting you down or saying anything about you bumping the event to the top

Heck all i said was the fun of having a scooby is to drive it....Have a scooby then drive it..... That is not shooting anyone down....

No not in the slide show.....In their own slot down the page a bit
Had a great time and the weather couldn't have been better even if it was a bit on the cold side...... Got some great views from the Downs though..
