Jackman we cover so many miles its crazy. we literally drive all day around Yorkshire and depending on what they have planned sometimes we end up in scarborough.
Also Mike, loving the idea of birthday banners, never thought of that. so we went and bought a 9ft one that we can chop up. if you can bring yours as well that we be awesome.
1 week and 3 days to go!

well its 127 miles to the campsite, so 127 miles back. so 254 just getting their and back. its 30 miles to scarborough from the campsite but we do a wiggly line to get there, not just straight there. then back i would say 100 miles in total maybe little more and thats just the saturday. sunday is just as full of driving. id say in total about 450 miles of driving
Ed does that sound about right?

I'd say a bit more tbh, around 600.
I didn't measure the mileage over the weekend last year but over the week from Chippy Run 4 to the day after M&C I did 1100 miles.
Jackman, I know its not ideal but you could always drive it there, do the Saturday run to Scarborough then jump in with one of us (not me!) for the Sunday blast. Would keep the mileage down and not giving it death over the lanes.

I'm the only one to have seen the first incarnation of E719DCK. No one else could be arsed going out in the rain to see it.
That reminds me - hows Adam these days Jackman?
Jackman even though it'll go over 3k by then its still a fresh engine, I know if it was mine I'd only drive it there and back no back lane thrashing with the rest of us. I do admire your bravery and commitment though!
You know what mate, so what if we have to do an oil change when were up there - it'll take all of 10 minutes! I'll help you.

I do admire your bravery and commitment though! Adam is in eygypt doing a diving course then hopfully getting a job over there teaching diving. Not heard off him for awhile. Ed ill go to 4, maybe 5k. but on the back lane ill still give it a go but wont thrash it like the rest of you, but ill try my best to keep up with you. First thing first ive got to see how it goes getting up there, dependant on that depends if i take it as its not got set up at all.
