From a lot of places it is easier to get to South Mimms going clockwise and to get home again also going clockwise, proberbly close to 50%. Then there are those that cut to South Mimms and then cut away from Thurrock.

But if the run was to go clockwise you don't get to go through the Dartford tunnel ( bridge instead ), not that I'm childish enough to want to roar through with loud exhausts and the roof down

I think Lee's official position is that the start and end is at South Mimms but there is a stop at Thurrock to use the services and to allow those who want to to go home from there. For example if you live in the SE it's half a lap to south Mimms, then a whole lap and another half to get home again which means two laps. So for me, I give up at Thurrock and head home.

There is usually a Kent, Sussex, Essex meet at Thurrock first and we convoy to South Mimms for the main gathering.

Where and what time are SMS meeting?
My Dad and Bro-in-law are coming along and they're in Woburn and I can let them know.

no idea... we just follow Lee!!!

I'll try to find out and let you know

The SMS meet is usually 7.30 at the Little Chef on the A5 south of Fenny Stratford bur hasn't formally been announced yet. I'll try to remember to copy it here once it's on their forum.

The SMS muster point is the Little Chef at Fenney Stratford as previous years, but the meet time is earlier at 6.30pm.

Is everyone ready for tomorrow?

I have a few jobs to do as the MGF hasn't moved for a couple of months. Need to check all the fluid levels (obviously) and the tyre pressures, then it will be a quick wash and apply some special stickers for the run, hopefully you won't be able to miss them.

Hopefully I won't find anything nasty while getting the car ready.
