Be aware there will be lots of narrow single track roads!
This is not a race there are NO prizes for arriving first!!
In the event of a tie (Cheating) all names will be put in a hat and drawn out by a member who was not on the drive at the next monthly meeting!
All questions or clues can be seen either from the comfort of your car or you may have to get out of your car to look.
Single drivers will need to tag on with couples as unfortunately due to Elf & Safety you need to keep your eyes on the road not looking for clues.
The Drive is approx 32 miles.
The drive finishes at a garden centre where there are lots of small units to explore and a place for snacks / lunch
The Lime Tree Restaurent.
Where we have reserved tables for our group.
All answers given are judged by the drive organisers and their decision is final!
All mileages are approximate!
