Southern Big Brekkie Run 11th October

Following the Bentley Run something similar.......
Various start points running to 1 Cafe for a bit of Sunday Brekkie and a catch up with fellow owners - the venue will be in the Cowfold area nr the A272.
Definite start points:
Newlands Corner and Wrotham / 7oaks.

Ideally if we get the right response will look to do 2 more starts in the following areas: Lewes + Oxted ( anyone that is in either of those areas and is happy to lead a run, pls let me know)

Aiming to get the runners to the Cafe for 10.00, so will leave 7oaks 9.0 and Newlands 9.15. The routes / directions will be available on arrival at the start points.

I'd be grateful if anyone interested could PM me their email ID as well as a show of hands ( easier to confirm details etc as we get nearer ). Obviosuly at this time of year weather dependant, but that doesnt stop anyone popping it in the diary!!
thx mark g

Put me down as a likely (weather-dependent).

btw, what cafe are we talking about? Is it called "1 Cafe"? - I googled that and couldn't find anything. A few of us Newlanders went to the Chalet Cafe in Cowfold a couple of months ago.

You've got my email addy

Pencil me in Mark, although if I come it will again be direct, too far from any meeting places, :-) Cheers Ray

You'll be glad to hear the MNR is now fitted with a proper tank vent so will no longer be leaving a fine mist for other cars in the convoy
If you didnt know i think steve? in the yellow mnr found this an issue at the last drive to lewes

You big girls! It was spitting a bit here in Sevenoaks just before I left, but soon dried up and by the time the Sevenoaks convoy got to Cowfold at about 10 it was dry. Missed the usual Newlands crowd expect for a couple like me who come from different directions. It was a good turnout of different cars - about 30 or so in total - and the Chalet brunch (bacon, eggs, sausages, beans, toast and tea) was excellent yum yum!

actually given that it was cloudy with a bit of drizzle 1st thing am really surprised at the turnout - it was actually 50 cars in total: cobs, locosters, caterinvans, tigers, marlin, minari, westies.....and a decent buttie! simon if you took any decent snaps any chance that you can drop me a few via email......
