Hi Steve.
Apologies, we're not going to be able to make this cruise unfortunately.
I don't want to risk too much of a long drive in Mr Zed at the moment, just in case the brake judder problem manifests itself again as it did in Lincoln. I'll be putting fault code reader on the car this weekend to see if that uncovers anything. But either way, I want to check the braking system out for piece of mind before doing another good run.

Hope all attending have a great day.

Hopefully, I will be able to turn up for this, if it's OK with @Bozzy .

I'll be on call, so I need to be within 40 minutes of Beeston - that's quite a distance in the "blue car" .

Is there an ITN file for TomTom?

Hi @Pingu, there's room if you can make it.
I have the route on an SD card, do I can load it onto your nav easily on the day.

Just got back from doing a final recce, no problems apart from the second stop, which was to be Langton garden centre and cafe.
It was packed today and people had at least a 30 minute wait for food.
So we now plan to stop just a bit further up the road at a McDonalds with plenty of parking and it's been refurbed.

Plus there's a fuel station as you can see, just in case.

Here are the postcodes for the starting point and the three stops.
Donington park DE72RP.
Stop 1. Belvoir castle NG321PE.Woolsthorpe Rd, Grantham.
Stop 2. McDonalds LE167FD, Melton Rd,West Langton.
Stop 3.Harbour cafe,LE158BL. Bull Brigg Lane,Whitwell.

And if you bring your bathers, you can join in with this lot.....

See you next Sunday.

Steve + Sara.

Can't go wrong with a Mcd's mate and you're the forums weather god, so no pressure but it better be good .

Thanks Mike, we've done this route a few times now and we still really enjoy it .
Only problem is, it's popular with cyclists in places.

I'm on call, but still plan to do as much as I can. Do you have approx target times for these stops?

Each leg is aprox 30 miles long, it's difficult to time it really as it depends how long we're at each stop.
Today we left Donington park about 10.30a.m, did the whole route including all the stop off points, including dinner etc and we arrived home about 4.30p.m, if that helps.
