The runs always start and finish at the Forest Green Rovers football ground in Nailsworth starting with breakfast and finishing with a dinner in the afternoon. Its organised by a local branch of the Rotary club and all proceeds go the charities.
The runs mainly travel around the backroads of Gloucestershire, some of them being very narrow and rough [:(!]
It is open to classic and older cars and sports cars upto present. Today had a record turnout out of 63 cars and one classic motorbike, these included prewar cars such as Lea Francis, a vintage Rolls, Alvis, Austin and HRG, post war cars included MG, Lotus, Jaguar, Ford, Aston Martin, Nissan and MX5. Triumph was represented by a couple of Stags, Spitfires and 4 TRs 2 of which were TR7s (including mine) Turned out the other TR7 lives only a few hundred yards away and getting out of the passenger side was Steve Redway of the TR register.
Anyway todays run was a 70mile trip to Bowood house for lunch and a 37mile trip back. It included a trip through the vale of the white horse around Pewsey so some excellent scenery.
Heres some pics.
