@Stuart @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative  @DomWash @Andy Westwood @Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator @aeg @Glynn Walters @ianali @Steve Bosworth @neptune @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman @W Shep @Jim cunliffe @tex

 

Event update: We have a 70 page draft roadbook ready 😎

 

The WSCC event team will be carrying out a ''dry run'' (hopefully 😆) over the next couple of weekends to make any tweaks required to the roadbook which will then be going for print.

 

If all goes well the roadbook will be ready for distribution prior at Malvern kit car show, so @Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator can hopefully distribute to any club members at Malvern who are going on the tour, for the remainder of participants we can post out the roadbook to you so you have a chance to study it prior to the event weekend.

 

Promotional clothing and stickers will be handed out at the start point on the day

@Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator thanks.  Is it still intended to make the route available in .gpx for satnavs for solo drivers?  I may have a co-driver but it's by no means 100% (he currently has a back problem which might mean he can't do it and I have no other takers)

@StuartYes hopefully for reference, I've not got round to it yet not sure how accurate I can get it as the route is very long and complex, open to offers of help to create one if anyone is interested!

@Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator I'd be happy to have a go at it myself using MyRoute.  I think it might only allow a finite number of waypoints though so might be necessary to divide it up

I don’t mind having a go, I’ve done one before for a europe motorcycle trip I did. Just need the route plan drawing so I can convert to digital 👍🏻

@Stuart @Steve Bosworth Gents thank you very much 😎 I will contact you both via a group pm after the dry run so I can share the up to date roadbook and the other route info I have and hopefully between us we can sort something out
