Someone from Basingstoke mini club did this during the run last year.

It is scary. Was he new to driving? I know there was a young lad who had only just passed his test who rollled his mini into a bush last year.

THis year Phoenix is gonna stay at the campsite. LOL

i cant say i found the journey last year that tretcherious, it was mainly once or twice when i went round a corner on a single lane there would be cars waiting to pass at go back round the corner, id suddenly have to dart wide, happened once on some mud and back end came out...problem was as you say being followed by someone driving recklessly, i luckily was being followed by someone i trust and trust myself to not drive like a berk, if someone was driving too fast ahead of you, use the directions your given, slow down and make your own way

Well I wasnt their last year so I can't really say what that driver did but you don't do that much damage to a car doing 20mph. I think he rebuilt that car now.

My other half promised it would be finished for last year but when it wasnt painted the weekend before i knew it wouldnt be finished

i have to drive on this type of road all the time

they are only dangerous if you try and drive on a single track road at motorway speeds

[mini_mad69]

I didn't find the road dangorous at all.

Or am I missing something?

[Bungle]

about 50 MPH off your speed

[mini_mad69]

Is it just because of the country roads?

Ginger Monkey was behind the lad who rolled the mini he said that they wasnt going very fast at all think it was around 30mph he just clipped the bank/curb and it sent him over The driver and his friend was unhurt shame about the mini it was a minter!!!!!

Camping, although not sure I want to pay £25 for the privilage of camping on their site It's a bit much for me, I'm struggling as it is being a student I'm only going for the weekend, and possibly the Monday. Can anyone recomend local places which are fair prices?
