OK,
i have been thinking about possible weekend events in the Buggy for this year. Was originally going to LeMans in June but just found out that it will clash with Matt's work experience so can't go.
There was some concensus that a route round the UK following the coast would be good but would take to long and cost to much.
So my ideas are :
21 Counties in 3 days. Plot a route that takes us thru 21 counties but only going into each county once. My first attempt at plotting a route came out at about 700 miles covering most of the Midlands, Wales, upto Derbyshire and down to Somerset. Obviously lots of driving satying away from motorways etc and carrying all the gear you need for camping etc.
Weekend in Wales - pick a nice camp site to use a base - somewhere in mid wales. Arrive on friday set up camp. Then on saturday and sunday pick a route that uses the smallest out in the middle of no whwere roads we can find for some nice driving and possibly some off roading as well and of course a nice pub or two.
Once I have sorted out some more of the details and dates I will let you know.
