Roy 8)It will be really good to meet you Roy and I'll certainly do my best to be at the Okehampton Control to lend my support and encouragement. I think it is a tremendous undertaking and a credit to all who are taking part in whatever capacity.I'll be happy to pass on my telephone number, just drop me a PM.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radders Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 That's brilliant John, it'll be great to get some support at this new stop. We'll all be our second night without sleep by the time we get to you, (unless you're like Mike Bishop and can sleep for 8 hours solid with the car on the move!) so you'll have to excuse the haggard and knackered faces! (Although some of us look like that all the time! ;D)Look forward to seeing you. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also know how seeing a friendly face can lift the flagging spirits.Thing I can't get my head round is how can the whole entry get through the control if it is only open for an hour between 05.07 and 06.07hrs? Perhaps someone could explain to me how it works.With many thanksJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we'll probably hang around there for breakfast before heading over to Bude to see the cars come through in daylight.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
