Pier Pressure - Cruising Against Cancer

Phone: 0871 984 6055


If you are in this area today, then I could really do with some help and support. If you have any official contacts that may be of use, then please let me know. If you know anyone in the local groups of the Breast cancer Care or Cancer Research Charities that we are supporting, Newspapers, Local media, local radio, Mayors, anyone official that is up for a photo shoot, or even rent-a-crowd to cheer us on, then can you get them to the piers for our photo shoots? If you have a Buggy and want to join us for todays cruise, then we would love to have you on board, the more the merrier.

Obviously, you can see that with what we are trying to accomplish, it does mean that we are very limited on time, so any drinks or refreshments that you can pass in the direction of the team would be very much appreciated, and silly things like pointing out where the nearest toilet stops are can really save us a lot of time.

Hopefully we will not need any, but it would be useful to know if anyone has any workshop facilities or tools nearby in case of emergency repairs.

And finally, its all about the money - every single penny counts, and it could be that one penny that makes the difference

Look forward to cruising with you

We're in. 

Fab

I should be in for that Sunday. Might make the trip down after work on the Saturday night if I've got somewhere to stay

Brilliant Mate. We will be stopping at the Travelodge in Barnstaple that night if that helps.

Chad

Great stuff Chad. Will I need to book in advance?

Chad I'd love to come down to join up at Clevedon or Weston (should be able to get there by lunchtime on your Sunday schedule) and follow you round into Wales, stay in the Travelodge at Swansea and see your triumphal return to your home town on the Monday.

Hugh thats sounds brilliant.

Planning on been there with Hugh so will collect you just off the M5 north of bridgewater on the Burnham Road but will be returning home and not crossing the Severn.

Hugh and I are meeting at BP station J9 Tewkesbury at 8.15 for a steady cruise down the M5 to J23 bridgewater north.

...and we'll see you in Barnstaple ready for 8:30  (cursing the weather?)

Looks to mostly be cloudy, but rain is coming on evening.


Really wanted to join you for this one but I haven't been able to test the buggy since returning from day1&2 of the run.

Hazel I am leaving home at 8am if you want a passenger seat trip, not sure on the buggy but you may need waterproofs. Replacement fan switch in mine has not been checked for cut in temp so if it gets to hot the heater may need turning on a bit but the doors will be off.

Meeting Hugh and Carl 8.15 for the trip down.

I only saw this message at 11.30am.


Went to test the buggy, this morning, after Dad had replaced the coil for me, seemed to be ok so Miller & I caught everyone up at Clevedon but got scared when the rain came 

Wondered what happened to you - when you turned off the M4 I nearly followed you but gambled Carl was on the right route and you were off to B&Q again! Yes the rain was grim so wise decision to not push your luck. Wilf lost all his electrics on that leg due to blown fuse so was lucky to struggle through to Mumbles.
