Ok, so not technically in Wales, but we had Scoobs from all over last time!

Hello all,

It's that time again!! I've been looking forward to this again since last year - Let's see if we can get even more Scoob's along this year The Tour is a fun drive with rally notes provided - it is not a race or timed competition so all can take part

This years event promises to provide yet another superb days motoring through spectacular Wiltshire, Somerset and Devon Countryside, exploring roads and scenic vistas to delight the most discerning participant.

All the roads will be metalled and non-damaging, the start will again be from Warminster, oprtunity to stop for coffee on route, lunch halt will provide te opportunity to refresh yourselves, either by your own picnic or from the resturanct at the lunch halt.

The finish as usual, will be within the 70 acre parkland setting of Lufton college with a traditional Somerset cream team, with a charity auction and rewards ceremony, entertainment in the evening for those wishing to stay late (or over night).

The entry fee of £25 will include the road book, commemorative rally plate, crew of 2 people, cream tea, awards, barbeque and evening entertainment (so a bargin really )

Camping withing the grounds (security is there all night) is available for those wishing to do so (this is what we did last year) and this year there is also limited campus accomodations should you wish to "camp" in a bedroom, some twin rooms, most singles - bring your own sleeping bags (£5 single, £7.50 twin, just to cover cleaning costs). And breakfast is available in the morning for a small charge.

The route will cover approximately 130 miles in two halves passing through some of hte best countryside the West Country has to offer, market towns and pictureque villiages, many of which will offer you the opportunity to sample and purchase local specialities.

The 2003 event raised over £5000 and we had an excellent time, pictures from last year are available here: on the Hantsscoobies website , it'll give you an idea why we can't wait for the next one! I'm sure a few who went last year will give their testimonys (or as seen in True Grip) Review available here

I think we should go this year. Looks like a good chance for me and mr Dino to show off our drinking skills (or lack of!) as well as driving scoobies and raising money for charity!

Plus there seems to be enough of us now to make it worthwhile!
