Kent coast run.. the Original is here

Post by pistol pete »

As always its back in sunday april 17th
Meeting at eureka burger king car park in Ashford
Just of junction 9 m20 at around 10.30.. normally leaving around half 11 after a chat.

Then off down to the coast for Fish and chips..
then out and about through some great kent roads.. finishing back at ashford

Covering around 60 miles.. so please make sure you has fuel before we start (we tend to loose some needing fuel)

please as always can people pass this to other MR2 clubs

thanks

Well after some playing around i have the new route on google maps so people can import it onto their phone which may make life easier..
also here are the post codes for stop points incase anyone gets lost..
Currently works out around 60 miles.. which is about 2 miles less than the old route.. but some new and exciting roads..

we do also have a completely new route going a different way completely which will be run later in the year.. was test run couple years back and is much fun and would love to run it again..

any way this years route..

starting Burger king TN25 4BN

1st stop.. normally here for around an hour for people to enjoy fish and chips
pilot TN29 9NJ

then next stop will be Worlds wonder TN26 2LU
for just a make sure everyone is together

and finishing at
french connection TN24 0GA

Between the Pilot and the worlds wonder we will be stopping for fuel.. (as I'll need some..)

Please not the 2nd part of the run is still the original now

Same day as my boy's birthday. So I will see if I can drag him out for it....

Though am unlikely to be in the 2 as I no longer have 4th gear....
I am going to live forever, or die trying!

Chatting with the missus today... the route although great has been the ssme for over ten years now.. and as most off the usual suspects know the first aldington road has gradually got worse
So with that in mind the back bones and destinations of the run are staying the same.. with some alterations... lkke the road after camber we always get stuck behind something so moving to a lesser used road that actually more fun and smoother...
And the run down to the pilot at the beginning is a different route..

Unless any of the usuals have any complaints and yhink it should stay as it was...
We could try it this year and get some feedback
