What a wonderful event - hope it all goes well.
Would definitely take part if I lived in the UK.
Never done FRL: I hate the M25 on an organic level due to regularly parking on it in the course of business travel. Am now an expert at lorry trailer controls and tyre sizes, spending much time stationary and bored....
Pride of Longbridge is always a good turn out from far and wide, although only 4 miles for me, another good event well attended is MG's in the park run by Oxford MGOC at Burford wildlfe park.I can agree with you that it is regretful that the number of mg's and rover's that are still out there and not a lot turn up, I would not let this worry me as long as I know I turned up with at least one other, ie someone to follow. that way I would not get lost, I am prone to being out and about and having the feeling I won't get home for my tea, always seem to find my way home, in the end, tho, I think this run in may will bring a good turn out as I think it is nearly full up with bookings, shows someone cares eh,
