Good luck and all the best.

We will officially celebrate Franks return at the All Morgans’ Day, Waddesdon on the 24th June when we would be delighted to see as many Morgan Cars as possible parked in front of the Manor.

Advance details of this event are attached and will also be advertised in Miscellany from May.

Please note that half of the available spaces have already been booked and so I would urge centre members to book as soon as possible before the event is advertised to the wider Morgan community.





cheers

Have just read Frank's day 2 blog. Great to see the turn out at Ledgerwoods & hotels giving free accomodation.

Makes you think the world is a nice place afterall.

Agreed. And some of it is!

But, as I said to Tim Harris (Hamwich) at an NBC gathering the other week: SatNavs should have a further route option - Tourist or Scenic route... Would probably help Frank at present!

Cheers,

Best option for Sat Nav is to use waypoints. Program in end point and then manipulate it with waypoints. This works well with GoogleMaps.

08:44 day 4 and Frank has not yet updated blog for day 3. Guess he is too busy, raising money.

But I am only posting this to keep the topic at the top of the TM pile.

This one is a 'sticky' Steve. It's going to stay at the top until unstuck... grin2

Alistair, I know. Some SatNavs support the waypoint solution better than others. Easiest done on a computer then uploaded to the navigation device. I just think 'Scenic Route' would be a nice touch - no guarantee it will take one in the direction one is expecting - so no change there then rofl

Cheers,

There does seem to be a popular misconception that technology is here to serve us, I would just like to make certain no-one is harbouring this misguided opinion ranting

I must say I am impressed by the great work Frank is putting into the Blog. Just hope the photos are being taken whilst stationary so Plod-u-like don't bite !

Anyone planning on joining him across the South Coast section ?
