Although petrol prices are going up by the day we are still hoping to join you providing we have a car to do it in! However, with your approval we would like to start and finish at Sandringham. The plan is to keep to the route from Sandringham and meet up with the group at Cromer, then drop out once we've had the picnic at Sandringham. Is this ok with everyone?

Basically you're saying you want to do Stage 3 early in the morning, then do Stages 1 and 2 with the rest of us.

I don't see any problem with that. You'll be doing the whole route, but do you earn a certificate? We'll see.... Question

To quote Mr Morcombe: "I'm playing all the right notes... just not necessarily in the right order."

I think you'll have to get some proof you started in Sandringham to get your certificate.. Wink

Great day today, 252 miles including getting to and from Cromer and around 9 hours sitting in the driving seat - am just about ready to collapse now.

The video will follow soon... it may take some time.

Thanks for a fab day all - and to Johnnie and Peter for organising!

by robtheplod Sun Apr 08, 2012 6:49 pm

Excellent day, many thanks for the organisers and those that made it. It was really nice seeing so many minis and lovely to see so many happy waving people along the roadside and those many drivers who avoided pulling out and breaking up the convoy...!!!

Tim would have loved it!

by paul Sun Apr 08, 2012 7:22 pm

Thanks and Thanks again another brill day and what a mega mini convoy this is what the Gum Ball Run is all about me think's

by Ian Nicholls Sun Apr 08, 2012 7:44 pm

Fantastic day and well done to the organisers . If you think about it the club is exploiting the virtues of our habitat , the superb country roads of Norfolk , and long may it continue to do so .
Next year how about doing the same route in reverse , and I don't mean gear ?

by **norfolkminis** Sun Apr 08, 2012 8:11 pm

great video. I was a tad too quick for you lol.

by Harry H Sun Apr 08, 2012 8:51 pm

Thank you all for a truly fantastic run! A great start to the year and lovely to see so many happy people on the road sides. Tim would have been proud of a proper mini convoy!! Very Happy

by **norfolkminis** Sun Apr 08, 2012 9:21 pm

Michelle has just posted on Facebook that £166 was raised on todays Gumball. So a cheque to the Stroke Association will be made ASAP.

As always a great day out so happy i managed to fix my mini saturday all in all me and naomi covered 300 miles and the vamp diddnt miss a beat.
Big thankyou to all the organisers pace cars.
I no i had a big smile on my face most of the day but seeing the public wave and cheer and even cars moving over so not to break the convoy was brilliant.
The money raised is fantastic look forward to next year.
WE ALL LOVE A MINI CONVOY
