I ...ahem... used to have a few Triumphs and as such came across the Club Triumph reliability run a few years ago (my old man has done it twice, my uncle a few more times), the title sounds a bit dull, but it's basically around 70 triumphs setting off from Enfield (London) on a friday night, then proceeding up the east coast to John-O-Groats, then back down the West Coast to Lands End, then back to Enfield on the Sunday - the event is quite hard work on both the drivers and the cars. Along the way the drivers stop at check points to be signed in and get a cup of tea/ shower etc, the whole thing is done in 48 hours (2000 or so miles in old cars in 48hours!) and they usually rasie a shed load of money for a charity - the event is held every other year.
On the years in between they do a 10 countries run, whcih is a similar gig - 1 weekend, lots of old cars - 10 countries... a bit more exciting perhaps, but more difficult to orgainise? ÂÂÂ
An organised trip to Mania or the ring would also be wicked though... perhaps a charity run would be something to do at a different time of the year if enough people were interested?
