As
many of you will know I run a little classic Mini and for the last 3
years my brtoher Paul and myself have been taking part in an event
called the Legendary Grand Tour of North Devon orgainsed by the North
Devon Mini Register (www.smallcarsbighearts.co.uk). THe LGT is
organised in aid of the CHSW and this year we are rasing money for the
Messy Play Area 3 for their new hospice in Cornwall. THe LGT is a 2/3
day event with 300 mini's classic and new starting on the Saturday
evening with the THe Kebab Cruise from Northam Burrows into Bideford
just to let the locals know we have arrived! Sunday then see's us take
over Bideford park in the morning for a trip to Heartland Quay and then
on to a local event or attraction (this years hasn't been announced
yet) Sunday evening then sees many of the Mini's being decorated ready
for the big day on Monday (yes Bank Holiday Monday!!)
Monday is the BIG ONE Mini's start arriving really early on Westwood Ho!'s prominarde and it's a hive of activity with people in fancey dress heading for the local cafes and shops to stock up on supplies. The buzy around Westward Ho! is amazing with locals coming out to see the Mini's off on their journey to Illfacombe via Little Bridge House (one of CHSW Hospices) and Lee Abbey and the Valley of the Rocks. People line the streets sit in lay bys in the middle of no where to watch the Mini's go by.
When we get to Illfacombe there is a
prize gving/auction etc. THis year the the aim is to rasie £50,000 for
50 years of the Mini over all the events organised my the North Devon
