Any vehicle with 3 wheels or more that is capable of completing around 400 miles ish without having to be pushed by others too much, will do the trick.
We are trying a new format this year. As many of you often take a hotel for the night before our trips due to the distance you have to travel, or just due to the fact you like to extend your trip a little. We plan to meet up around 1pm on the Thursday for those that can make it and have a relaxed few hours in the lanes before our first hotel just over the border in Mid Wales.
