well we all made it home.....i think! so i thought id show u some pics!

It started off fine, appart from the traffic!! But then the weather went from bad to worse! Rain, rain, strong wind, heavy fog and rain!

We all had great fun on the A39, with the steep hills 1:4 ratio. The Octavias did struggle a little.

those who made it...

1. Fowlerwelsh

2. Jonny5ive

3. tigger

4. tfboy

5. drm jones

6. Racey lace

It has been a bit of a miserable day down here. :(

Glad to see peeps still went though.

funny thing is-i got a text from becky and tigger on their way back asking for Xaviers mobile number-they had only gone and lost him on the motorway!!! lol

yer he went awol! then reappeared 20 miles later at wharp speed! (not over 70 mind occifer)

tigger was overtaken by about 20 granddads.... Im Sure he needs a flat cap and driving gloves! Jonny5ive nearly fell asleep cause of tigger's lack of "enthusiasm"!

Ahh, so that's how you got my mobile number.

Deepest apologies, when we stopped for the last time, after you had all left in tyre smoke and clouds of soot, I decided to fill 'er up at the bargain 94.9p which I thought was pretty good considering it was m'way services. I wouldn't have made it home with what was left in the tank.

So you did have a 10-15 minute headstart. I still caught you up though :P
