We haven't been on many mini runs this year, so shall we see if we can start organising some? Otherwise we will get to the end of the summer and not have done any.
We could do with a few people volunteering to do a run over the summer, either on a monday evening, or at a weekend. The first MU thing Terry and I did last year was a fossil hunt muddy moke organised and it was great.
Terry and I are happy to run up Weston way one monday eveing, and I know Mr Ben has mentioned in a different thread doing a run.
I dont think they need to be anything adventorous, even a run to your local pub would be good.
Perhaps people could volunteer on this thread.

Me/Vicks did the run to Notley Arms last year, would anyone be interested in going there again? Can certainly work out a loopy route.

A couple of runs were proposed at the Blackbrook last night. Bit more adventurous; they are going to involve sleepovers Sat 27 - Sun 28 October Andy Weaver suggests a MU Run to the Brecon Beacons with an overnight stay at a B&B. Meet on the Saturday morning to drive up into south Wales. Its only an hour from Cardiff. The National Park has some terrific roads; the route from Merthyr North to Brecon has been featured in Top Gear's Greatest Drives article this month. It's likely to be a bit wet, but lets face it Wales always is, so we can go prepared! MiniWorld's Winter Warmer is on the following weekend, but some folks may want to go to either/both, or we could bring it forward a weekend to 20-21 October. The mountain Steam Railway is still open til the end of October, as is the National Showcaves Centre. www.breconbeacons.org/

Other suggestion: Thursday 6 - Friday 7 December MU Run to the Ace Cafe + Christmas Shopping in LondonA few of us keep saying 'I'd love to go to a Ace Cafe Mod 'n Mini Night'! Lets drive up on the Thursday afternoon, attend the meeting, and stay overnight. I know some Mini Bandits members live nearby so could give good advice on a good value B&B. On the Friday we can park up and get the tube into the centre of London & do some Christmas Shopping in Harrods, Oxford Street or Hamleys. Ace Cafe link

oooh, christmas shopping in London, now I like the sound of that, though the amount of shopping I can do in 1 day, I doubt it will fit in a mini ! ! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
