Meeting at 0900 at Dunstable downs for a tour of the Rutland’s, stopping at the Great Central Railway for lunch. About 260 miles in all, The meeting point is [here](https://goo.gl/maps/exQyrRSThH9gDbWv5), it’s not the main car park, but the one down the road a bit. [This](https://trips.furkot.com/board/LKWmns) is the planned route, though it may change (I’ve still got to add a couple of rest stops too) [If this sounds familiar, I was going to do this in July, but rain made me change the direction, weather next week looks promising] ---

Unfortunately I cannot make this now. I have a plumber coming in the morning. We did this run last year for your birthday iirc Boris. It was the longest run I’d done on the new toy at the time. ---

thanks for coming along, it was a good day out. last minute re-routing so we went west rather than north to try and avoid the rain (still had v light rain for a while though). This means we didnt have lunch at the steam railway as planned, we did pass another ([GWSR](https://www.gwsr.com/)), but for some reason I decided not to stop, still not sure what happened there. ---

I could have done with that ice cream this afternoon. I went to Maidstone for work and the return journey saw 36°C on the air temp gauge.
