Just beat me to it, Paul! :D
That was fun, wasn't it! Who'd have thought there was so much countryside inside the M25?! And plenty of puddles to splash about in... :roll: Thanks Graham for sorting out another good fun run.

Thanks Graham.

It was good fun made more so by the number of small lakes we had to drive through.
The mrs even enjoyed it.

Yes - good run today - thanks a lot Graham - It was quite a challenge to find all those country lanes within the M25 circle and to throw so many minor seas in as well was a stroke of genius !

Thanks to everyone for braving the weather and it was great to see the crystal white Le500 out and about tackling an MGCC run - mind you it had more of a greyish tinge at the end. Much thanks to John as well for his generosity .

Be seeing you next weekend in the Dog House !

Glad you all enjoyed it, I too was impressed at the amount of country I managed to find and the speed with which the lakes formed (from 1 on Saturday to about 6 on Sunday!). For me the ultimate acheivement was the Cattle Grids, never expected to find any of those, although my wife did point out that there are loads around Bushy and Richmond Parks!

Typically of course it is beautiful weather today - blue skies, no rain...

As per John's suggestion perhaps we should have another go in the Summer (if we get one next year) so that we can see the views!

There are some more pictures from the run here. They are mostly of Tim as he was the the car in front.

Great "christening" for the LE (plenty of water sprinkled!)
