There will be a marshall along the run for a small fun activity. There is food available for sale at the location where the run ends. The run is about 85km and should take about two hours.

NUMBERS by Ronald Mayes Amongst the paper treasures donated to the club by Reg. Munro’s family there was an April 1975 list of 201 new nationwide members , presumably those who had joined during the financial year. Their vehicles ranged in age from 44 to 66 years, having all been built between 1909 and 1931. Of the 225 vehicles only 42 were British, 1 was French and the rest were American, including 33 Ford Model As. Of the motorcycles there were only 7 American (Harley Davidsons and Indians) but 14 of British manufacture. I wonder how many of these vehicles still exist?
