'good luck' from me n Lewis :D:D Hope he passes!(sp) then?http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=58161. (handbrake needs really yanking up sometimes and sometimes I don't get much resistance from it and other times I get loads, had wheel off and can't see any evidence of anything loose or brake binding on the disc but best be careful) so a long run isn't probably the best idea

We will leave the pub around about 12.45 turning left out of the car park. By going this way, we dont have to cross any traffic and should be able to keep everyone together. Straight over the island signposted Bridgnorth. Continue along this road past Swancote (swimming pool on right). At the roundabout, take the left turn. At mini roundabout, turn right, down the hill and over brow (sharp right so be aware of traffic coming on wrong side!) At the bottom of the hill, take 2nd turning over the roundabout (A458). Again, at the bottom of the hill go straight over at the roundabout onto the bypass road. Follow this road to the top of the hill and go straight over signposted Shrewsbury. Go through the village of Moreville and turn left onto the B4368. Should be signposted Craven Arms. Road continues through Aston Ayre, Munslow (Crown Hotel) and out through Diddlebury before reaching Craven Arms. (approx 18 miles) (Harry Tuffins opposite) turn right onto the A49 signposted Shrewsbury for approx 1.3 miles) until you come to a left hand junction A489 signposted Newtown. Follow this road for approx 8.5 miles. - turn right onto the A488 for approx .5 miles down the hill and take the road to the left Signposted Churchstoke on the A489. (4.2 miles) (HUGE Harry Tuffins on the left) Ideal for loo break if anyone wants one..lol. ( usually have 20 mins or so stop here in case anyone wants to join us)(approx 11 miles). At the bottom of the hill you will come to an island with MacDonalds opposite. If anyone is joining in here, we'll be parked at the back on the main car park around about 3.00. From there we'll return to the main run onto the A483 signposted Llandrindod Wells. (A489 signposted Machynlleth) at the junction with Mochdre go straight over onto the A470 signposted Llangurig - go over the level crossing and into the next village - Landinam (approx 4.5 miles) watch for mobile speed cam on your left on the long straight *cough*. Continue on the A470 for approx 12 miles - head for Aberystwyth by the three bridges and continue to head towards Llangurig/Aberystwyth Still on the A44 you'll reach Ponderwdy with the silver-lead mine on the right and the forest visitor centre. Continue through Goginan (The Druid Inn is on your left) still heading for Aberystwyth. Through Capel Bangor ( watch out for the speed trap at the garage advertising MacDonalds Aber - not always parked there - but sods law lol) You will go through Llanbadarn Fawr. At the mini roundabouts take a left turn over the railway crossings to the main roundabout. Morrisons is in front. Take the second exit heading for the shopping centre. Best place to park is on the Focus/ Curry's carpark (ETA 4.15pm)..Recordset1 I only ask because the time was 12:45pm last time and you all went early lol?.......No, don't answer that one, think I already know, doh!
- only left a few mins early last time cos we thought everyone who was going to be there was there..................... hmmmm well if you do, and end up at the pub you were at last time, if you're on the front car park, with the island on your left in front of you, take the 3rd turning off heading towards Dudley. The pub is on the next left turning - called the Boycott Arms!
Tell him
