An update - started yesterday with the first section and it was a great day out with Amanda and our dog Pixie. The weather was perfect for us, good visibility, warm but cloudy with a few sunny spells. We parked at Porlock Weir by the Ship Inn, with a pre-booked taxi waiting to take us back to the start at Minehead. There is a fairly steep section at the start as you ascend through broadleaf woods up to North Hill. We chose to take the higher path over the top, rather than the more rugged route which is a bit more strenuous. There are superb views along the coast and across the Bristol Channel to Wales. We had the path mostly to ourselves for the morning, a few more people out and about when we dropped down to Bossington and Porlock in the afternoon. Thoroughly enjoyed our sandwiches and a Pint of Exmoor Ale when we arrived back at the Ship Inn. There was a steady turn-over of visitors on the tables outside the pub but no queue, and everyone was being careful to keep their distance. We're very fortunate to have such a superb coastline in the UK. Will start thinking about our next walk.

My mate helps looks after a private collection of toys and popped round with this tonight, took me for a we spin, what a machine, the noise and smell was mega. Bugatti type 35,😛

We got ourselves a convoy there rubber ducky

You have to keep the same tyres on that you qualify with..or start the day with in our case!!

I'm toying with the idea of stickers of good ol' times. Like champion, or even a marshall / cibié. Granny look, period correct. or Maybe a rust-eeze ? (So that the knowledgeable driver will keep from tailgating because it leaks oil and might catch fire)

@Michael Whitworth Will that do you mate I was in the petrol station when you posted

Me too. Thanks Jeff. 😀

Count me in too. Stoneleigh 29/30 August. Gold Cup 29/31 August. YDG 11/13 September. Should be a good couple of weeks.

I’m here pitching tent in grass!

I've had a root through the garage and made up a sort of bung that's a tight fit in mine. Would need plenty of gaffer tape to seal it properly I reckon. See if you can find one locally.. if not I've got the fifth reserve. 😉

Yes built not bought was on mine covering old paintwork

Well I am here and cant see any Westfields.lots of Caterhams though.

What happens in the Bongo stays in the Bongo

You're right Geoff, my wonderful wife. The walk would have been the same number of steps without her, the views just as far, but nothing like as enjoyable.

Nc 500 is brilliant, did it last year and got the weather spot on, used my l200 , should of had the westy, one point I would make is plan your journey fuel stops with a small tank could be tricky , and as much fun as it may seam keep speed down and to your own side of the road I was lucky to be in a pick up and could see the donuts in campers and flyers coming stay safe

LukeW can you pm me your post code and registration so I can take a look and see if I have any other ideas for you lol

Be sure to mention that you are a WSCC member to him so he knows his sponsorship is working for him

Wot no Jokes?

Weather's looking a bit 50/50 on wet or dry at the moment. Looking like a wet start is likely at least, so might fit the mighty Rain Experts. 😉 Have watched the briefing. 👍

I may have a "built not bought " new sticker. They came from Adam in his mag

Hearing lots of good things about Damian. I'm booked in for the Friday 17th.

Yeah completely different driving position to sport turbo which I find to be way too upright!

Have a great day on track guys.l

Nope not mine. Still have the old girl

some tidy set up's here is mine

That car looked a great buy in the sale section. Good luck with it 👍

Lovely looking motor 👍👍👍👍👍

Hi Chris and welcome. I'm just east of Worcester

I agree to a certain extent in that the roads are better on the West but when I did it I wanted to do the full NC500 and do Dunrobin Castle, Walligoe steps, John O Groats. Did all that in a day first (so doing the trip / route in reverse) and then spend longer on the next stages which are better driving roads. Also when starting from Inverness and going on the back road around the Moray Firth don’t divert off at Muir of Ord but keep on going through Dingwall and even take the back road to Evanton and over Struie and come out at Tain (Glenmorangie). That way the road is a lot more interesting.
