Chriss Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I have been able to talk with Mike and it would appear that 17/18 and 24/25 June are availible as alternative dates. We will not be able to please all of the (potential) entrants all of the time, but I am happy to take a poll on either of those dates. Please would you respond with the date you can do the event or either or neither. Please keep it that simple. I need to decide which date at the end of November. The start is provisionally planned at East Kirkby, Lincs, but that is to be confirmed after the date is confirmed. Skegness may or may not be included in the route. It has taken me since the August Bank Holiday to recover from the shock of going there, but I still get flashbacks. It could be good for entrants to understand no matter how bad you think it is where you happen to be, that it could be worse.....a lot worse. I am taking advice to see if there is somewhere even more gahstly that we can driveby and perhaps we can go there instead. After all, entrants may appreciate some of the more stunning scenery more if they know how bad it could be. 😩 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 It's no good beating around the bush Chris, just tell us what you really think of Skeggy 😅 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubce Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Hi Chriss Mike and I can do either 17/18 or the 24/25 June👍 Regards Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutty Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Hi Chris 24th/25th June for me. The best thing about Skeg is the road leading away from it, Clacton and Gt Yarmouth are close contenders for worse than Skeg but nothing beats Jaywick Sands. It is officially the most deprived place in the UK, it is a shanty town of burnt out cars and burnt out houses.

39MOD Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Either dates work for us Chris, but 24/25 would be the preference. Roger C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McJim Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 East Kirkby, the start. But where's the finish going to be? It's a long way down from Scotland. Jim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Tynemouth would be a very nice place to start/finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bell1 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 If the dates need to be moved, I´d prefer 17th / 18th June to avoid a clash with another TR event in Germany. Cheers, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutty Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Have we got a decision on the C2C date yet, as next year’s calendar is filling up so I need to get it booked in before something else takes the dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I understand Chris has decided on the 24/25th following the poll so please keep that free. Route is looking good and Chris & I will be undertaking the recce of the first part this weekend. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TReslaV8 Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 Great following up on all the comments, and dates (either 17/18 or 24/25) ok for me 😉- misses Le Mans Centenary on 10/11, so provided the TR7 isn’t marooned on a French autoroute that weekend, the 24/25 would be preferable but heyho you won’t be able to please everyone! A start somewhere near Skeggy might mean we actually make the start after this year’s breakdown in North Wales (RAC took longer to get us home to East Anglia than actually doing the run - Chester Services at 4am must rival 11pm in Skegness for being the pits🤪).

trollie4a Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 So is 24th/25th now definite? Looking forward to it having enjoyed the last two events. Rumour has it there could be a South Wales finish. Hope it is not as cold as today (-7C)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotherham? Especially around club kicking out time…. I still have flashbacks from an HCR many years ago….. Also Weymouth! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
