The routes we will be travelling make extensive use of quiet country roads
wherever possible and will take you into countryside that no tourist bus
would EVER visit. In other words, you'll see English countryside that only
the Brits know! All runs are charged at GBP20 (US$37 approx) and this
includes Morning Coffee before the start, Road Book and windscreen event
board + the fuel you'll use. A pub Lunch and the Optional Carvery Supper on
your return are to your additional cost.

*frightened* of driving on the wrong side of the road, it's likely two seats
can be made available in the Course Marshall's cars (Triumph 2000 or 2.5PI
saloons)
