Many bluebells in flower (early) Had to stop for a Red Kite having lunch in the road in front of me. After about 20 seconds it flew away as another car came the other way. Spectacular view along Bledlow ridge (what did happen to Billy Joe McCallister) Roger As we all know Roger ... "Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"...allegedly.

Nigel C Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 enjoy Curborough Hamish. I used to run a day there, blooming difficult to get it right on every bend when it "look" so simple but great fun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Misfit Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 Today popped to Widecombe on the moor via Haytor, Then carried on, crossed over to the M’hampstead to Princetown Road. Two bridges then home via Holne Reservoir and Totnes. Got home just as it started to cloud over a bit. Sadly TR stayed at home. Good day though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Had a nice run out today in the 4A. Started off Heathrow to Thersfield on the A505 to see this years crop of Pasque flowers - quite stunning in their colour and simplicity. Then off to Blakeney on the North Norfolk coast. The Sail barge Juno was moored up and look quite smart https://sailingbargejuno.co.uk/ Then down to Norwich and back home on the A11 360 miles in all at apprx 30mpg and lots of MPH for a considerable distance.

Roger That was a good run Roger, Never heard the term Pasch flowers before, from the French meaning Easter I gather. Very nice too to get out and about during this fine northerly breeze weather. The sailing barges sometimes come up the Orwell to Ipswich. If you happen to revisit them for such an occasion do drop in for a coffee. Pete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) Hi Peter, here they are (I had the wrong spelling in the above post - Pasque Flowers) Roger Edited April 19, 2021 by RogerH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The weather was fantastic and after a worrying first run with a miss fire for 3/4 of the run that cleared I just got faster and faster or is that more brave or reckless I ended up taking 2 seconds off my best time and beat the 73 second bogey time. Which when I started seemed to be an Pie in the sky in achievable target. 5 of us in the club class see the results here. They still need to be adjusted for our handicap system which should see me be in front of shaun ? I have attempted another video with 2 cameras but not sure I have the editing skills or equipment/programs yet to do it justice.

MilesA Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Really enjoyed that Hamish. All that hard work in lock down starting to kick in? Plus warm weather! Oh, and the two camera stuff is really good. Where's next? Miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, and the two camera stuff is really good. Where's next? Miles Thank Miles its really the first time I’ve run the car in anger since the suspension etc mods. The event last year was wet/damp. the two camera stuff is harder than it looks to put together - I need to practice that too !!! bit of a gap to my next event as I don’t venture too far that would necessitate a stay over. mira in May is cancelled so hoping for 3 sisters at Wigan 13th june Aintree Liverpool 26th June I hope to do the minimum to count in the champs (6) some others do a dozen or more then they can pick the best 6 scores to count. Odds are better that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rcreweread Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Coming out of hibernation since last October! Checked all liquid levels, primed the carbs with fuel pump priming lever, 3/4 tank of Esso Premium from last October, turned over to get oil pressure up but still took another 45 seconds of cranking before it burst into life, pumped up tyres and then went for a blast-big, big smile and ran a treat - topped it up with a couple of gallons of Esso premium but forgot to take some photos whilst out so just a couple from the drive Will be out later today when hopefully sun comes out! Cheers Rich PS why do some of my photos keep changing orientation when I load them and how do I re-orientate them? Edited April 25, 2021 by rcreweread Quote Link to post Share on other sites
