Evening all

i'm wanting to do the l2b this year!! last time i did the run a few years ago it was a pain in the rear getting out of C/ Palace and took me over a hour to get about 1.5 miles down the road??
There were loads of overheated mini's and and bad tempers. so i was wondering was it still the same or has it changed!!!!!!

I'd just go straight to brighton to be honest.

I met up with some guys there last year. Most of us went straight there and managed to have a nice look around while we waited for a friend how was on the run........took him 6 hours to get to Maderia Drive from Crystal Palace. :saywhat:

Needless to say as i am only twenty minutes from Brighton i will not be doing the run. :rolleyes:

Likewise pal :cool:

I'm contemplating whether to drive down early in the morning or whether to go up to crystal palace the night before and drive down.

At crystal palace you leave in a mass traffic jam of minis and its great fun! Just look at that view :cool:

Can you guess where my car is? :tongue:
