UPDATE - 25th April

The route notes for the day can be downloaded from the following link. Please make sure you have a copy of this with you on the day.

http://www.scnm.net/~cooper_sport/MMM2007_Route_Notes.doc

At the bottom of this post you will find three auto route files of the morning, after lunch and late afternoon run's.

The zip file below contains three tomtom files you can use to have tomtom talk you through the route

Hello Peeps!

Theres a lot to read, so please bear with me!

Right. After reminicing about my first MINI run (Wessex III) where the SCNM, Cornwall and Severns all came together for an awesome run, I thought that maybe we should have another one.

But this time...MUCH BIGGER!

So I began talking with Max about doing this event, involving those two clubs and Nicci's (Foxy_MINI) East Coast MINI Club and minicruiser's MINI2MINI. But after consultation, I've decided to call it the MASSIVE MINI Meet 2007

I really do hope that we have and their owners and company, attending from ANYWHERE in the world who want to come.

Well maybe Europe is as far as it will go!

The event will be a WEEKEND event.

A small get together for those people staying in local campsites/hotels or anyone that just wants to turn up!

The day of the MINI run!!!

so we can start to get people put into their appropriate run groups. (Puddlers, Middle groups, Fast group)

MacAdam Way, Portway Industrial Estate, Andover, Hampshire, SP10 3LF.

The Start Point is on a circular road within an industrial estate, so it makes it easier for us to assemble everyone into groups. Get on to the one way and you will eventually see lots of MINIs! (Unless your the first one there!)

If you are a newbie and unfamilar with the format of a MINI run, THATS OK! But I would recommend you go in the first, slow group (Puddlers) so that you will better enjoy your run.

Lunch will be a 1.5 hr stop at the A303 Solstice Services near Amesbury - the site includes the Amesbury Archer , a Pizza Hut and a KFC and loads of parking so no bookings for lunch will be required-just turn up and go

please also fill up with fuel if you have less than half a tank (97RON is available here).

After the run, we will head back to the campsite for a night time BBQ and evening of fun!

You DON'T have to camp to take part in the night time fun!

Anyone worried about the run, PLEASE don't! If you do have any concerns, just ask and we will try our best to answer your questions

The start point will be the West Portway Industrial Estate circuit road which leads up to the rear exit of the Premier Inn Car Park.

Max has found a very nice campsite near the start point for all those people wishing to camp on the Friday and/or Saturday nights.

Details can be found here:

Wyke Down Touring Caravan & Camping Park:

http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=1166

For all those too posh to camp, there is a hotel right at the start point of the run. Details can be found here:

http://www.premiertravelinn.com/pti/hotelInformation.do?hotelId=25034&iscsell=

If you are intending to stay here please book early to avoid disappointment.

This is next door to a brand new Brewers Fayre pub-restaurant called The Portway (No website for this as it�s so new) where we could have a Friday and/or Saturday evening get together if the weather is inclement.

Please post in here and tell us:

A) What event you are doing (Friday, Saturday, Sunday)

How many people in your group are coming

C) Your name/s

D) Are you camping, staying inthe hotel or just turning up for the run

For those that attended the South Downs run by Poppet, this event will be much in the same vein.

I really enjoyed the South Downs and that's why I'm doing something like it.

In order to make it clearer who is attending and other such important stuff, PLEASE KEEP THE BANTER IN THIS THREAD TO A MINIMUM

If you would like to banter about this event, then please use this thread here:

And they have a Cask Marke plaque on the pub wall

Please would you put us down for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday?

We would like to camp, but leave the option to go and find a Youth Hostel if the snow is too deep

Tigger, Eeyore & Roo.
