I don't know what the ingredients are to arrange a successful meet? Is it to do with the time of year, who the originator is, location, maybe its to do with luck, what's happening in people lives at the time and so on? Sorry, but I have no real idea. All I know is I've been on three, all originated by someone else and have enjoyed them all.
At a personal level I ended up with a lot of personal responsibilities to fulfill this summer and I would have been out of the loop anyway, in the last week I have driven from Portsmouth to Edinburgh twice and at the moment I do not want to look at the M27, A34, M42 and M6 for some time! I just need the memory of it to fade before I ever attempt that journey again! For those people who drive along these roads, day in day out to and from work, breathing in God knows what, I really feel for them!
I hope one is organised again, I'll just keep my eyes open and cross my fingers!
