Great day out. Some great roads and nice lunch location. Nice pace (!) too on the post lunch leg. Almost kept up with the GP. Glad to be back in a Mini again after my wee dalliance with BMW.
2024 F56 JCW, melting silver III, black roof and mirrors, black track alloys, various bits stuck on. Previous Minis: R56 One/R56 Cooper S/R56 JCW/F56 JCW/F56 Cooper S/F57 JCW.
Thanks to Ali and Laura for organising another great run. Fantastic roads, some new ones as well which is always nice. Great company and fantastic cars. Great to see so many new and familiar faces (I tried to get round everyone, apologies if I missed you) on the first run of the year, hopefully we can get more than 2 run in this year as I think I can speak for us all that they have been missed, it’s always great seeing a line of MINI going along and all the passerby’s reactions as we go along. See you at MMM and hopefully those that are considering it’ll I’ll see you there as well.
Some pictures of the day

Many thanks to Ali for organising today’s run and everyone for making us so welcome on our 1st run. Some great sweeping roads, so enjoyable and so well organised. Sadly we had to nip away just before everyone started the 2nd run. Now to tackle cleaning the car
Thanks again
Forgot to mention my wee car finally cracked 24,000 miles today! (24,028 to be precise). Ridiculously low miles for its age (it’s a long story…), but not too bad when many of those miles have been clocked up on NMS and solo runs on roads similar to today’s. It’s always an extra buzz to do it in the company of some excellent Minis and their equally excellent owners and I have many happy NMS memories in the ELFmobile from Oxford to Yorkshire to Durness & Thurso and all points in between. Here’s to a good few more in the future!

Still got my old Hendrix Badge blu-tacked to the dash!
Some great photos! Really disappointed I couldn’t make it in the end but as of this morning I’m now one vaccine down which hopefully helps pave the way for a much more normal life and many more NMS runs in the near future.
