Dear Members, The Club invites you to join the 2024 TLWN2 tour which is a 2-day weekend event covering 330 miles of the best driving roads in the UK 😎 The Club successfully ran The Long Way North Tour back in 2008 so we thought it was about time for a re run! Based on the route of the Pennine Way, our tour takes in some spectacular scenery and some of the UK's best driving roads as we make our way north from Edale, Derbyshire to Berwick-Upon-Tweed in the Scottish borders. The route will cover: 150 miles on Saturday 22nd June (meet at 9am set off 9:30am approx) from Rushup Edge car park at the top of Winnats Pass near Castleton to Scotch Corner. and 180 miles on Sunday 23rd June, travelling from Scotch Corner (set off from Hotel at approx 9am) to Berwick-Upon-Tweed. The Club will provide a comprehensive roadbook for this event as well as promotional clothing and stickers. The roadbook is a very detailed explanation of the route. It uses a combination of tulip diagrams, road signs and descriptions of the road ahead and also includes fuel stop locations. The roadbook is guidance only and further instructions on navigation will be included within the roadbook to be issued closer to the event. Ideally you need a driver and passenger to help navigate the route along the way. Here is an example of what you will receive: Another example to demonstrate its not all cattle grids! Saturday evening (22nd June 2024) will be a social stay over at Holiday Inn Darlington A1 Scotch Corner.

Welcome to a fellow 250 owner, hope you get as much enjoyment from owning one as I have. As others have said check speed sensor on front offside wheel. Shout if you’re unsure where/what this is. From memory mine is set ~ 1.5mm clearance to disc bolt heads, but do spin the wheel to make sure it clears all 4 bolts! The Aim Strada dash can be configured in various ways by downloading Aim “Race Studio3” software, if you haven’t already done so :(https://www.aim-sportline.com/en/sw-fw-download.htm) onto a PC/laptop. It is fairly intuitive to use once you get the hang of it (albeit I found it daunting at first but I’m an old dinosaur who struggles with computer tech!) Would happily send you my “configuration file” for the dash, but suspect your dash will be an updated version. Tried several times to export mine onto updated versions, with no joy but happy to send it on if it would help?

Sounds good, would love to joining in.

Many thanks @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO. I will have a wiggle all the accessible connectors and dash plug etc. when I can and then may start a topic if still no joy/inspiration from other sources.

@eggontoast Start a new post in Tech, and I'll gladly see how I can help. Has it ever worked etc.

Same issue for me omn my Race Technology Dash2. Proximity of the wheels speed sensor to the bolt heds it senses looks OK, so I'll be following this thread with interest to see if anything not specific to the dash is suggested.

Sounds great - I'd be interested in joining this too please

Perfect Allesandro. You can correct all my Italian errors 😉

Nice idea, I would love to join 👍

Thanks ABC- I've put a link to a later add on E-bay that currently works!

Sounds great MrK. Teams meetings can be recorded too, maybe worth considering? Andy

Yes please - me too 👍

Not yet but will do 👍

and a curry house 😁

First time out this year, called into The Motorist where I found a Lamborghini painted Westfield orange.

The last models completed in 2023. Airfix 1/32nd scale Bond Bug and John Steeds Range Rover from the New Avengers.

I've just come across a very handy guide to entering you first speed event, I would highly recommend giving it a watch if you are thinking of starting in the Speed Series, or any other championship, this year!

Coming home from Spain 3 years ago i sold it to chap in spain out of the blue i found out she was up for sale so bought her home
