Off we go! Following a monster breakfast supplied by the good ladies at the marina coffee bar we set off around the Gosport point heading for Abingdon and Kimber House, headquarters of the MG Car Club confident that we’d have no trouble. Until that is, the offside brakes seize on the Magnette warming the local surroundings and shrouding them in smoke. Under goes Derek again where having dismantled and cooled the drum, backed off the pads and we’re ready to roll. Great tour of Kimber House by Julian followed by the obligatory photo’s before heading home in beautiful sunshine where we arrived at Townhead Road for 5pm, tired by relatively happy with the 972 miles that we managed against the 1,200 forecast and trusting our supporters would be OK with our valiant efforts, given the 15 breakdowns (5-5-5!) we’d encountered on the way.
An epic trip in brilliant company reaffirming the fact that whilst you have to grow old, you never have to grow up!
Thanks to all who sponsored us and supported our endeavour, the next post will tell you how much we made (and if you’ve been meaning to sponsor us – now’s the time!)
