Easter Mini run

Postby Matth93 » Tue Apr 03, 2018 12:17 pm

We took the mini out for a run yesterday with the Surrey Hills Mini Group. They started from a pub in Pirbright and finished at the Departure lounge in Alton with a 60 mile run in between. This year the numbers were a bit low ( I think the weather put a lot off ) but there was 22 minis. I was going to take the MK aswell but decided that it wasn’t the weather for it. They gave you a route to follow but basically you stayed in convoy except for traffic etc which was stopping to let us all out :D
Here’s a couple of pics to prove it happened

Yes the cafe was ok, the food we had was good and came out fairly quick. There was loads of parking but they do have a boot sale there and a classic car meet ( but that’s in the afternoon on a Sunday I believe) and it opens at 10 on a Sunday

Lots of proper Minis, a good turnout considering the forecast :)

Cafe was very good when I went for breakfast. Yes avoid car boot sale days. There are mid week bike meets there too, probably only in Summer.
