Ok a few of you seem to be having problems finding clacketts so heres a map of the locality. If you coming left to right on this map ie anticlockwise round the m25 go past clacketts to junction 5. This is a restricted access junction but heres how you can reverse direction.

1) Approaching 5 stay in the middle lane that will be come the left lane of the two for the m26

2) As soon as the m25/m26 split you have a really easy to miss slip marked A21 Sevenoaks

3) Once on the A21 stay in the left lane and keep the speed DOWN (hard for VRS drivers )

4) after not very long take the A25 westerham slip (there is 2 a25 slips so be careful think its the second)

5) Now follow Westerham and in quick time you will see M25 Gatwick etc signs take this to get back down onto the A21

6) Stay left and you will follow the road round to the M25 clockwise and then just hoof it back to clacketts.

Sorry to be a pain/novice... but on my sat nav what do i type into the town/postcodes section? And will Clacketts lane be listed on there?

[andy ellis]

might be in the list if not just manually put in a pin on the map as your destination

[aerofurb]

Bad news, I've just been informed I've got to work tomorrow morning - problem of being in a 'leisure' industry job. My apologies to those who have put in the hard work organising it, next time I'll make sure I'm well away from work!

Cheers, Jerry

[Hicksy]

Oh no Aero, thats not good to hear, still i'm sure you'll have much more fun at work

So... just to clarify then...

10.00am at Clacketts? And it sounds like it's the clockwise side? probably a silly question but can't you just go over a brdige to both sides? Never drive on that sectio of the 25 so don't know, sorry!!

Hicksy

[andy ellis]

Sorry Hicksy no easy way to switch sides! The easiest way is how Ive laid out.....

[Hicksy]

Ok thats cleared that up cheers! however...

is it 10am?

Hicksy :confused:

[walkie]

Unfortunatly folks I can no longer make it. Due to Swmbo family illness :( :(

Apologies to the people that organised this.

I hope we can do this again sometime

Have a good day :(

sadly there were only 8 starters a bit of a shame after all andies work but we all seem to enjoy it- even the drive home again had its ligther moments...didn't it Chris?

there were photo's taken ...i'll try to sort some out -watch this space

[lfc958]

Got back myself @ about 5:45, was nice to meet more new faces.

Great to see that Joel_VRS made it from peterboro.

It was more of a treasure hunt, and a BRILLIANT idea Andy

Had a brief chat with Hicksy, we appeard to agree that we definately do it again next year , but make it early September, not long after the schools go back, but not that long after the summer hols memoires .

Would be nice to see 20 cars next year

Bmw drivers don't you just love em:finger:

[dj666]

just have say i'm had jolly good day today thanks to andy for putting the quiz route in

[scrutineer]

Bmw drivers don't you just love em:finger:

funnily enough - I wasn't referring to the BMW " incident" (but do wonder if that "incident" will cure them of undertaking "

i was thinking about the play with the evo I know when i'm beaten but it was entertaining

anyway as as everybody said - a good day out

[flatfourburble]

Just want to say a big sorry for not making it today, over did it the night before and did not wake up untill 12!!

Really sorry guys I feel I've let the side down big time!!

Hope you guys had a good time!

Mike

[walkie]

So next one in January then?

[Joel_vRS]

i got back at nine!! after leaveinng brighton sea front at 6.30 we had a good walk round and drink in a pub on the peir!! was a bit raw tho lol

Thanks to all that was involved.... oh and thanks for waiting for us at the pub lol

in total i tihnk we have done about 400 miles today :eek:

Joel

[davidcollins01]

sorry i couldnt make it today, there were a combination of things that went wrong, mainly the roady being with me for 2 hours and then spewing oil everywhere (i presume dad told you) - so i now have a punto :(

Other reason was i did not go to bed till 3 am and was a bit drunk and had to wait for a bit before driving this morning .....

[Jonny5ive]

Liking the idea of another "Run" in January. Would have made this one if not for the time of year and a career based in Hotels!! Celebrated tooooooo many Christmases already :santa1: :thumbdwn:

What about a Briskoda presence at RTTS 2005? :grouphug:

[Hicksy]

That day was SO much fun, really had a great time meeting everyone and figuring out the quiz route! Thank god my mate could make it otherwise i'd have been stuffed!!!

definately have to do another one next year, maybe do it twice annually... March for the spring season and September for the summer season? Roads were a bit too greasy and there was no point in me staying up til crazy hours the night before getting the beast shiney cos it was filthy when I turned up at Clacketts!!

Joel... Bit disappointed you didnt play when we left the car park?! I know blatantly you'd have whooped me but I haven't seen an Octy cane it yet!

Here's to the next one, and thank you Andy
