Hi Neil, please could you put me +1 down for Sunday. Cheers for organising
maverick noun
1. an unorthodox or independent-minded person.
2. an unbranded calf or yearling.
Origin mid 19th century: from the name of Samuel A. Maverick (1803–70), a Texas rancher who did not brand his cattle.
For those coming Sunday morning:
As you pass over the cattle grid and enter the Burton Dassett Hills Country Park, follow the road up the hill and turn left at the top and head in the direction of the tower, you'll then come across the parking areas marked below. We'll aim for the one next to the tower.
Sadly I had to miss the Northern Weekend so was keen to do the Flat 4 run. The weather looked promising as I left Bristol.
2 and 3/4 hours later we met on the Burton Dassett hilltop near Gaydon. A Mazda MX5 group we’re just leaving, and on the opposite hillside was a motor club hill climb meet. We bought a touch of class.
We did the obligatory group car shot and there’s a group people shot to come too.
We set off, full of anticipation, and travelled 400 yds to the toilets. Good call.
Eventually we hit the open road it was a good route (thanks Neil and Danny). No one got lost, apart from all of us (when the leader took a wrong turn) but there was a convenient village U turn, so we avoided last year’s entertainment.
