Well the bank holiday weekend is fast approaching and that means only one thing. The North Devon Grand Tour. So is anyone else going?

Hi JamesM

do you have any more info on this for the members who don't already know about it?

[JamesM]

Yes of course.

The Devon run has been going for a number of years, in aid of the Childrens Hospice. Booking in I believe is on the Saturday of the Bank holiday.

On the Sunday it runs North to South along the coast and the reverse but on a different route on Monday (monday being a Bank Holiday).

Stops are varied and include a fair and teh Children hospital. Around 300 cars take part and the roads are closed just for the Mini's with motorcycles riding ahead.

We are taking four cars from the Saffron Walden & Cambridge MOC, it is looking to be a great weekend. I have never done it, being a quite new Mini owner in my second season. Love to stop for a pint with any of you that are coming down.

Oh I am taking the New Mini this year as my Clubby still isnt quite fixed yet. My fault

i was about to say, we had a pub meet at the southern mini owners club and that event came up as fully booked.

Excellent run where the roads are closed and a limited number of minis drive around.

Oh look at you Pippy, late night was it . The only reason he is taking me is because he needs to be shown how to drive it properly

If we see you minifun I am sure we will all come over.
