The New MINI Kernow Cornish Oggy Run, 13th-15th June 2008

[Tigger, Eeyore & Roo]

This thread is set up for planning for The New MINI Kernow Cornish Oggy Run, 13th to 15th June 2008 in support of the RNLI

Following on from the great success of a previous run that many of us were involved in in 2005, New MINI Kernow are hoping to host an even bigger and better event during the summer of 2008. We would like to extend an invitation to New MINI Severns, South Coast New MINI, East *Coast MINI and any other MINI owner that fancies a summer weekend in Cornwall







The campsite for the event will be at:

Beacon Cottage Farm Holidays,
Beacon Drive,
St Agnes
Cornwall
TR5 0NU

Here are two B&Bs very close to the campsite for those who are not hardy enough for camping:

Penwinnick Road
St Agnes
Cornwall

* 10.00am Main meeting at car park just outside camp site at:

Beacon Cottage Farm Holidays,
Beacon Drive,
St Agnes
Cornwall
TR5 0NU

* All day run, following a west of county coastal road which takes us through some spectacular scenery and magical driving roads, with a lunch stop at Roskilly's, famous for its pasty’s and ice cream.
Everyone is invited back to a garden party at Char and Jerry's where there will be a trip to the local fish and chip shop to bring back dinner!

Sunday:

* To make everyone's trip back home a little easier, starting at 9.00am, we'll be doing a run on Sunday morning that will head back up to Devon It will end very close to the main road leading out of the West Country.

We'll be taking in both car ferries at Fowey and Torpoint (total cost around £3.70 per MINI), a trip to the relaxing bay of Talland (where Richard and Judy have a home), past Looe, where we say goodbye to Joanne, and onwards to Rame with the causeway at St John (tide allowing).

Our last stop will be at at Langage Farm where the ice cream is rumoured to be as good as Roskilly’s

THERE WILL BE A RAFFLE IN AID OF THE RNLI. THE RAFFLE WILL ONLY BE OPEN TO THOSE ON THE TRIP AND THERE ARE PRIZES TOTALLING AROUND £250 IN VALUE!!! THERE IS EVEN A BRAND NEW PROFESSIONAL QUALITY TWO WAY RADIO (NOT THE USUAL ARGOS AND INTERNET SPECIALS WE ALL NORMALLY USE! ). THAT'S WORTH OVER £100 ON ITS OWN

PLEASE BE AS GENEROUS AS POSSIBLE AND DIG DEEP!!!! Heck, I'll be buying £20 worth of tickets for that one!

And look at me in those piccies!

[Chrisandjax]

We've just got to get down to do this one!

Put us down on the interested list please.


PS
You've forgotten the cream tea stop!

[John P]

Date dependant, I'd be interested.

Don't forget the Clotted Cream as well!

John P from ECMC

[Chrisandjax]

Its gonna be a close call between John P and myself for longest distance travelled.

Assuming the end point is Newquay, shortest route using multimap

Walthamstow to Newquay - 261.9 miles
Stevenage to Newquay - 261.3 miles.

So it all comes down to exact post codes!

Let battle commence!

[selina]

Cambiker 71 (eastcoastnewmini)

MarsLandingParty (eastcoastnewmini)

Phonenix (eastcoastnewmini)

[lizziemini]

Lo all

Unfortunately not a contender for the prize (unless we come down from my parents for the weekend - Cockermouth, Lake District - 436.38 miles - but I think that may be cheating!!)

But anyway apart from all the silliness can you put me and Cavey (husband - NMS sign on name!) down for it too!!

Thanks

[lizziemini]

Thanks - BUT - Cavey is his sign on name for NMS (New MINI Severns)

Is that my typing?????
