littlefeller said:
yes the list is getting longer, its going to be a long chain, if people feel better about splitting it into 2-3-or4 groups then that is something we could do as most will have sat navs.

Firstly... we will end up being split as that amount of cars will never make it in one run. Just impossible and you will get the boys in blue saying you are blocking the road... lol..

Secondly.. @Mrs Mint knows all too well about different routes on different systems .. the Dutch run last year had us all going all over the place. Garmin - v - Tom Tom -v- Google ... all different routes. I think my ears have recovered. Ear defenders being stowed this year lol..
 
its odd, if i open google earth through tyre it is fine, but if i open google maps it breaks the route into about 5 pieces. ok, the problem is if i break it down to postcodes the sat nav will simply choose the shortest or fastest route, not necessarily the route planned, so options are - we need 3 groups, the lead car in each group will have the route (crosschecked with the other 2) we will have to nominate group lead for two of the teams (bagsy not have the Yaris in mine) and we will have to set off at timed intervals. we will merge at the first and last stop. so whos stepping up:) if i remember correctly, last year after the group got split the Mints happily led the way:whistle:
 
I got stuck with a Yaris, @Nodzed and @Oldguysrule ... plus that climb up fish hill chasing the red rocket.

Let's hope the route works with places to pull into so others can catch up.

Yep, we were supposed to be sweeper for one group, the slow group, but ended up in @billz group, the fast group, then saw @pgunter and some other Z's coming out of a road on our left as we passed and @Zeti, well, I think he joined in with every group, he was ether behind us or in front of us......
 
Oh yeah, forgot to mention when @miller1098 peel'd off for a pish stop and a bunch of cars followed him.
We all ended up behind a barn......
 
Less focused on the road book you are, better you feel and have the real chance to be at finish, among the first ones (despite the lack of interest)! A sort of Murphy's laws, for car rally.:)
