Updated Google Maps route from Uncle Nick here.

I also got some TomTom time, so created the GPX files below - pre and post pee stop - for anyone who can use these in their SatNav.

Weather still looks marginal :(

Don't forget to bring a face covering!

[mention]Sir Nick[/mention] Not related to this, but I saw one of your videos recently and noticed your horn sounds different from mine - actually much cooler! is that an aftermarket horn?

It sounds very cool. I think I may get one put on my car! Where is the horn located and is it an easy swap?

Ok peeps, this event is declared a GO.

See you at Aust, leaving 0730 sharp.

Looks like we will start dry but may catch a shower up the mountains, then should finish dry.

Don't forget your face coverings!

What time do you reckon on hitting the golf club? I won’t make Aust but potentially the latter part

Anton - the route has changed slightly - here.

The mid point will be The Lake Café and according to Google, it's a 1h30 min drive, so estimated arrival time roughly 9am.

Nick needs quite a while to dethrone / rethrone, so I suspect we'll be there for a good hour or more.

Happy to chat Nomads if you can make it!

I'll show you what I did when we meet up at the East England run if you want [mention]simonrhart[/mention].

A must have when you have Sir Nicks blocking your path ;-)
