this run although semi-organised is classed as an unoffical run. it starts from reading services westbound on the sat of may bank holiday,(the first one in may..) plaques are handed out on a first come-first served basis out of the back of a miniworld mini in the services carpark, usually aroud 8am. detail of stops etc will be printed in miniworld nearer the time but there is no set time plan/route to take, the info in the mag is where the mini world mini etc will be stopping, which is pretty much ever single services along the motorway. this takes forever if you do it this way but if your in a group you can pick and choose as there is minis no matter where you choose to stop. its pretty much make your way down to newquay in your own style kinda thing.... i have been going for the past 7 years and no two are ever the same.

Correct! Makes sense to stay where we're starting from, saves a stupidly early morning!
