Septembers meet Sunday 26th Road trip!!

I have spoken to Stu this evening with regards to us doing something a little different from the norm. The plan is to have a navigation run as a social event that can involve ALL the family and is not based around a track. The idea being that we can have a jolly round the Norfolk country side whilst still having a laugh but not falling the wrong side of the law. Hence this will NOT be timed and wont be a race!
The plan is that we meet up at a given point "A", mileages are then logged and we then head off to points B and C etc.... the winner is the car that completes the route having covered the least miles.:)
Although this is semi provisional outline at the moment, it will be going ahead as an event.
The plan is to run this on Sunday the 26th of September?
My thinking is we meet up at the Tesco`s in Dereham at 10am. Mileages are then logged. We will then give out the postcode and location of our second place. There will then be a third stop at a meeting point ideally around lunch time at a place where we can fill up our bellies and have a break! From here it would be on to our final point (Great Yarmouth?) around 4-5pm? If we get enough people putting names down i will do a dry run and get a pretty good idea of the miles and times involved.
This will be free and just for fun! Although a leader board will be posted up and please make sure you are in a car with a working speedo- (at all times;)).
Feedback or names on list please folks?:)
