OK, given StevenM's comments on this thread.....

..... I've decided not to risk the fact that we might be victimised by lurking speed-trap merchants and so I'm scrapping the previously planned SuperMeet route completely. This weekend Jill and I will organise a new one going further south (or north or east, as the case may be)

So, any unwelcome lurking interlopers, please note we may be in Shropshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Brecon, Cheshire or Staffordshire the weekend of 11th/12th May. We have no intention of breaking any laws or endangering ourselves or anyone else, but we are not going to leave ourselves open to entrapment and victimisation as described by Steven.

I'll give printed details of this new route out at the Meet on Saturday afternoon 11th May. Anyone not coming up on Saturday will have to wait until they arrive on Sunday morning to find out where we're going. I'll try and make the new route a similar distance and, obviously, we will still stay off well used roads as much as possible. It may not be as wild and woolly but I guarantee it will be a nice drive.

I will cancel the lunch arrangements with regret tonight; pity, it was a nice, convenient place but I'm sure we'll find somewhere else on our new route. Fortunately it was not necessary to lay out any payment up front and we were on one week's notice.

If anyone has any problems or queries on this, please don't hesitate to PM me.

 

ROTFLMAO!!

Pete.. you got a PM!

 

Pete.

I'd seriously think again about the different route. You've worked really hard on this!

 

Hi Pete,

Blimey - when I said I was out of communication for the week before the meet, let me know of any changes - I was thinking 1/2 hour here or there!!!

Hey, ho, its a pain in the proverbial (for you and Jill), but I fully understand. I will pitch up on Saturday and look forward to seeing the new plan. I fully understand the need for all this.

Thanks for sticking with it!

 

I would agree with this Pete! I was just trying to say to be carefull on the route.

Just make sure the passenger in the front car has the mobile phone number of the passengers in all the other cars and probably best to set off in groups of 10 or less cars.

((Best bit of advice I ever got, again from a police motorcyclist, is *never* break the speed limit in a 30.

I have had a clean licence for years and I still have a lot of fun. ))

 

OK my 2 cents FWIW. Pete if you start changing the plans at this late stage you're very likely to get people dropping out. You've organized a fantastic route and a great meal venue. All that's basically required is for everyone to act with a little restraint in the built up areas ... we're not kids! Why not just get the admin to delete this thread ASAP? I'd have difficulty accepting some blanket plot to do everyone on the run, but a little commonsense in vunerable areas will stave off any problems anyway. The best parts of the run are wild and woolly and some of the best scenery in the country. Come on this is a bit knee-jerk!

 

lead car running as point for 49 others has to be fitted with radar/laser/ and rotating plates

 

I've done it once. I can do it again. Trust me; it will be brilliant! Have I let anyone down yet?

 

Volunteers??

 

Pete:

Just delete the friggin thread!
