DodgyRog Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) This is just an interest thread for the minute and I will get on to it properly when I get back from Florida in mid June It was a really good day when we did it a few years back http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?179546-Meet-Exeter-to-Weymouth-Sunday-19th-April&highlight=Portland Pics and after thoughts http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?183231-Portland-run-meet-19-4-2009-Pics&highlight=Portland Anyway, post up if you think you would like to join in, you don't have to be from teh South West and we will try and get someone from Hampshire/Dorset area to bring in a convoy from there end like last time Generally it will be exactly the same as last time, just remember if Blackie is with us, we have to stop every 5 mins for him to pee:D Edited August 5, 2012 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I may miss out on the Swas and do this one instead, The Devon car show and Swas are a bit close together for me, Not seen the portland thread before and seems to be more my kind of thing. I'll have a think over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 I would proberbly be looking at late September Rob, so the Kids are back at school and less holiday makers on the roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB B Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Yes, I would be up for it again, it was a really good day out, some great driving routes, a good pub for dinner and good company, we were also lucky with the weather. Great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 im in that was a great day out. It certain was bud, the coast road from Bridport was awesome, just have to hope we have a late summer I would be up for this but just the meet for me as i would be coming from the isle of wight side. Yes, I would be up for it again, it was a really good day out, some great driving routes, a good pub for dinner and good company, we were also lucky with the weather. Great idea. The plan would be the same as last time for you guys. We would meet you in Bridport (obviously if you want to come down to Exeter you can), hopefully someone will take the lead your end and organise a convoy to Bridport from your side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 We'd be up for this. Sure we can come down and dump the kid on the grandparents up in Holsworthy for the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Maybe a few people from the West Sussex/ Hampshire side would be up for a convoy down to this, Could meet at Portsmouth to gather the Isle of wight mob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 By all means spread the word and when I get back in June I will get on to it properly. Need to speak to the Pub on Portland and check about the parking at the back of the pub, it was a bit bumpy last time If it's to bad there is a huge Pay and Display 100 yards down the road Post a link to this thread in your own Area Events page please guys, I will still need someone to take control of organising a convoy from the other direction for them to get to Bridport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Just a little update on this, I am still planing to organise something for this, but having to wait before setting a date, due to the DragonCol being aimed for around the same date As soon as I get a date from Branners I will start on this, I will try and keep the date a good couple of weeks away from the DragonCol, but it might mean pushing this into October Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Just giving this a little bump I am still intending to organise this, but still waiting on the DragonCol dates to be announced Now SupraPod is done, I think Branners will be setting the date soon, as soon as he does I will set a date and get on with this Due to the wonderful summer we are having, I will say now that if the weather forecast is not good for the chosen date, then it will get postponed or cancelled, this run and route relies on decent weather, it's pointless if it's going to chuck it down Watch this space for an update as soon as Branners sets the DragonCol date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Right then, for those that are waiting on this I have decided to postpone this until late March early April Reason is, I think that it is better for people (including me) to try and get to DragonCol, I certainly won't be able to afford both events so close together So I will start a new thread in the new year with a date etc all sorted, sorry for the messing around, but I think the DragonCol is more important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_cbr Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 are you doing the portland run this year ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 I might look at doing this at the end of the summer again, but will have to wait and see, just keep an eye out and I will start a new thread to gauge interest first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow8dirty Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'm planning to be back on the road early August, would be a good time to come out, balls:shock: make me sen known I mean Cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 There is a plan a foot, but need a couple of weeks to plan it, as I am trying to sort my Engine issues as well but this should be happening later this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Just seen Branners posted up about the Supra Anniversary event, that might cause an issue with my planned dates, as I was looking at a weekend later Money will be to tight to do 3 events in a month for most I would guess Going to have to have a rethink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 There are gaps in the calendar for June and July. Make it the weekend just before the schools break up and it shouldnt be too bad. Or the end of June would fit well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 There's local shows down here John, so I will have to see if I can work out a date, but on a quick look I have 2 events in June, 2 in July already Early August might be a possibility from this end, are there any National things around the 2nd weekend of August Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_cbr Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 1st weekend of august im up north Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
