Turkey Run - Leicestershire

This years turkey run will be in Leicestershire.
It will be on Tuesday 27th December.
Times and venue to follow but aiming to leave around 9.30 to make most of the short daylight hours that we have.
A pub can be booked for those that wish to stop for some midday grub.
So we could do with a rough idea of numbers to book a table.

More info to follow once i have thought of it myself!

Hi Col & Deb

Its a possible/maybe from me

I know thats not alot of use, I did book the time off months a go, but my daughter (epileptic) hasnt been too good just lately and were trying to get her to go to her mothers in Suffolk for Xmas with me being the taxi driver.
but she's being a stubborn independant sod (I dont know who she gets that from) and wont commit.

I willkeep you posted
Rob

I am having to work Christmas Day so that I can be allowed the time off to do the Turkey Run.

So I will be there, just let me know where the meeting place is.

Another possible here , depends on funds over the festive period.....

Neil

Rosie, Dan and I will be there. So that another 3..Hope its snowy ..then its "white lanning"....

I've split this thread and there is a new topic "Neil's Incident" in the gallery.

Back to the Turkey run....

All being well, Mark and I hope to come along.....

And if you can let us know which pub we're stopping at....then Alison and Lucy can join us for Lunch.

Hi All.

For those that are wanting to get a bacon butty before departure need to be at our house around 9.00 aming to leave 9.30-10.00
(PM if you need address)
Its taken a while but the delay has been finding a pub that is happy to take approx 20 wet and muddy people that which to stop for some grub.
Tables are booked for around 1.00pm but explained that we might be delayed a bit.

See you on the 27th

Send us some pics and a few words for the mag.

The Cock Inn used to do some very good grub.

Pork in cider, or badly stuffed kebabs i'll bet James...

come on you weather wetter the better

Hehe - well we certainly have had a lot of rain.

Colin checked one of the lanes out the other day and it looked very muddy - well no it was flooded !!!!!!

Water !

Yes, Captain Slow..................

I remember a couple of years ago you having a spot of bother with a large puddle on The Turkey Run.

Don't forget your dizzy protection this year............

Do you mind if we come with the Jeep? Still working on the MK2 :/

I should think that the Scamps will be outnumbered by the Non's. The more the merrier.

Do you really think that us Scamps would be daft enough to go down some tracks if we didnt have the Non's 4x4 to pull us out again

Merry Xmas to one and all, see you on Tuesday

LOL! Well we've got a 12-tonne towing strap and a shovel in the boot so we'll be coming prepared

Charlie

Ps Merry Christmas!

We didn't need 4x4's when off roading 10-20 years ago.

Unfortunately, I have a date with an AR15 and a farmer, so can't make the Turkey run.

.................. and 10 - 20 years younger

Nothing wrong with a bit of insurance

Of course you are welcome Charlie. As Rob said, the more the merrier !!
See you tomorrow (we are meeting at our house, pm me if you need details)

I think Reg was getting at the fact that back in the day, Scampers (of all ages) really took pride in the fact that they didn't need 4x4's for even the harshest of green lanes...
