The MINI Club of Ireland

I am doing my Annual Strawberry Field Pancake Mini Run on SUNDAY June 23rd.

Meeting at Mahon Point Retail Park in the B&Q car park at 09.30am and leaving at 10am sharp.
The run is roughly 110 Miles / 177 Km's long so Make sure you have your Fuel tanks are FULL BEFORE YOU SET OFF.
There will be petrol stations along the way but we want to keep everyone together if we can
The road surfaces are good except for two sections where they are resurfacing roads so you will have loose gravel, just after leaving Gougane Barra and Very Sadly half way up The Healy Pass so Extreme caution is needed here !

PLEASE Bring some Baked goodies etc etc and flasks of Tea & Coffee as we will be stopping for a break for an hour or so in Gougane Barra
Also if you have walkie talkies, please bring them with you.
Looking forward to seeing everyone

Ferg.

Wohoo cant wait Ferg

Thank you everyone who came to my Annual Pancake Mini Run

I think everyone had a great day and really enjoyed themselves.
Thank you also to Christine and Sarah for the baked goodies, Amy for the cookies and Mini donuts, Oliver for the tea and especially to Lou for the dreamy Chocolate & Marshmallow rice crispy cakes which went down very well !!!

We had a good turnout with a great selection of MINI's & Mini's.

Here are 73 photos of the event !

Start point :










"The Sacred Pole..........." !!!! With Our Chief Chainsaw Specialist

It was a bit "choppy" and "brisk" with "slightly excessive wind speed" in Gougane Barra but very enjoyable stop off :









"The food truck" :

Thanks Oliver, appreciate it

Looks like a great day....as per usual.

Mouth is watering after all the pancake shots.
Sorry to have missed it.

Ferg & Lou,
A wonderful event from start to finish with some great roads thrown in to the mix, Any idea what distance we travelled as we covered some ground. This event never fails to live up to such a high standard and it had everything with excellent planning by you both.

Thanks for taking the time and making the commitment. Really Super day.

Richard

Thanks very much for the kind words Richard, they mean a lot
I know it was 110 miles down to the Pancake House but not sure how miles it was from there on the route we took back though.
Great roads and Great Craic

Thank you so much Ferg for the amazing run

I really enjoyed myself

Brilliant day out as usual , and some surprises thrown in , Meeting Sarah and Marie's new 'best friend' at the top of the Healy pass was interesting as well .
