Ok then kids it's here, the next Run2 will be held over the August Bank Holiday weekend and will be on French roads this time. The format of this next outing will be slightly different from previous events. First change will be the team with the MOST Points Win! Your route each day will be given to you, this means you'll know where you're going to (which will be quite nice). However you have to prove that you have gone to each destination by having your photo taken outside a local place of interest. Shortest mileage has been dropped for this event so the roads you take are your choice. There will also be challenges which are how you earn points. These will take the form of collecting items (shopping list), questions/quiz and other tasks which at present are in the planning stages, plus it is your chance to enter your own personnel challenges in which all the teams will have to complete (these will be submitted to myself before the event just to make sure they are cruel er I mean not too cruel). Each team will also be issued with a Joker. This can be used when a Team feel their particular item/quiz result etc is the best/highest score and if so will double that score (the joker becomes void if this is not the case). Accommodation for this will be campsites, so bring a tent, campervan or a Wigwam!!!! Price for these to be confrmed. Crossing the channel we are looking at approx £100 for the ferry, that's leaving on the Saturday morning and returning Monday afternoon. Entrance fee per team for the event will be £50 (this does not include campsites or ferry costs). For further info and to sign up contact myself Dave Long at http://[email protected] or join the Run2 forum and contact myself there http://www.run2lefora.com More info to follow http://www.runtowherever.blogspot.com

We are holding a 1 day Treasure Hunt on the 15th October in and around the south Midlands. The start point is at Tewkesbury and will finish......that's a secret but will be in the midlands somewhere. There is an optional hotel for those who need (want) to unwind with a few drinks etc in Stroud (not the finishing point). For more info check out http://www.runtowherever.blogspot.com or pm myself on here. Oh yes entrance fee is £20 per team but all proceeds will go to Help for Heroes charity. Ta Dave

Sorry Wendy no, I've booked in to Sculthorpe Mill for £89 for a double but there are cheaper places around (one team has booked into a Travelodge in Norwich for £19, however that's about an hour away???). If you have any problems let me know and will try and help. Dave

Hi ! er Run2the80's will start in Norfolk and where it finishes is secret. It might go through the Cotswolds or it might not...... Sorry for any misunderstanding. Dave www.runtowherever.blogspot.com www.run2wherever.co.uk

Yeah we checked with Gary and Robbie before we set the dates, they was going to do it on the 4th but moved it once they found out what we were doing. NICE CHAPS! :D

Now on YouTube

Hello again I have now sorted hotels for the Run2the80's and will now require £50 per team for the deposit within the next couple of weeks (second hotel I'm afraid). Also I have some bad news about the cost for hotels, it was £130 per team (this was for both nights) but has now gone up The extra cost wil be..........£9 so total cost for weekend will be £20 entrance fee plus £139 for the hotels (this is per team). pm me for details in how to get the deposits to me Ta Dave

Hello again I have just completed editing the DVD of our last run (Run2theHills) which was filmed using various camcorders handed out at the beginning of the day to the teams. If you are interested in going on the next run (Run2the80's) pm me with your address and I will send you a copy. It will give you a better idea of what we get up to.......... :wave: Dave ps also new website up and running www.run2wherever.co.uk

Thanks for that, have been a bit busy editing the last Run2's video (should be ready soon online.....as long as laptop stays on long enough........). Also new website up and running now www.run2wherever.co.uk

Go on then!!!!! Thelma and Louise.......I'll put that down as your team name

Its Run2the80's so you'll have to be Cagney and Lacy (Thelma and Louise 1991....)

I'm afraid the hotels are secret because this will give away the route. What I can tell you is they are breakfast inclusive (plus they have a bar). I haven't booked yet so you will have to let me know if you want a twin or double room. Also before I book I will need the full amount for the rooms £130 but if there is a problem where you have to cancel, as long as its 2 days before the date you will get a full refund. Any more questions ask or pm me. Dave

Hotel Prices Ok then we now have a better idea on how many monies you will have to find for the hotels. Are you ready??? £130 per team for the weekend plus £20 entrance (team is driver and co driver) Please let me know if you are interested as places are subject to rooms available. So far we have 10 teams on the list. TA Dave http://www.runtowherever.blogspot.com

I'll add you to the list also, this is only to gauge numbers at moment for hotels. Ta Dave

Ozowen your on the list :salute:

Yes sorry my first post is a little vague, but I'm afraid that is the nature of the event. Description and Rules The object of the game is to get from A to B in the shortest distance, each mile is worth 2 points lowest point score wins. To help with the point scoring there is a"Shopping List" and this will add or subtract points from your final score. 1. You will know the Start Venue ( at moment I don't know myself yet but will be East coast possibly Essex) 2. At the start you will be given a pack of envelopes. There will be an envelope which says "Open First". This will contain the Rules, Shopping List and your first destination. 3. The Shopping list can win or lose you the Run. Items previously on the list have been Pirate flags, bear mats, sea shells, cider/scrumpy....hopefully you get the idea. 4. Your first destination there will be a photo of a road sign, building or monument with a number blanked out on it. When you get to the destination you must find the missing number, this number coresponds to the next envelope (all envelopes apart from the "Open First" are numbered). Amongst these envelopes are PENALTIES, these will add 50 points to your score, this is to prevent cheating and stop you opening all the envelopes. 5. As you may gather now that is why the route is secret. 6. There will be 2 hotels booked for the end of each night (Sat and Sun) and you will need to book the Monday off work to give you chance to get home (after your hangover!). As I get a feel for numbers I can then start harrassing hotels for the best deals, last June's run I got the first hotel for £60 B&B per room (2 peoples) and the second £70 room only. Any questions either PM me or post below this. Ta www.runtowherever.blogspot.com

If you are looking for an excuse to "Fire up the Corrado" next year check this site out. Run2the 80's is a 2 day treasure hunt with a provisional date of the 4th and 5th June next year. It's a sort of mystery tour of the UK with a shopping list and it's a shortest distance thing not quickest time. The price is £20 per car plus hotels which will hopefully be no more than £80 per room per night (last June's run was £65 per room per night). This year we have been to the south west and the Peak district on our little outings. Start for next year in not confirmed yet but will be on the east coast somewhere, and as for the finnish......well you'll have to follow the clues to discover that. www.runtowherever.blogspot.com ps there is usually a bit of drinking at the end of it.......sorry
