Didn't know in which section to post this thread as it's not 'laning, it's not off-roading - it's ON-roading! I'm sure somebody will move it if it's in the wrong place!
Here is an interesting event for you, something unusual. A group of Land Rover enthusiasts have got together to raise a heap of funds for the worthy Help For Heroes charity, and at the same time have a bit of fun.
Held at the Motor Heritage Centre, Gaydon, Warwickshire, England, it's its an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the Longest Land Rover Parade, previously set at Towcester Racecourse in Northants 2004.
Called CONVOY for HEROES they aim to have a convoy of 500 or more Land Rovers under the conditions set by Guinness World Records. The record was set at 260 vehicles (set because it was first established in 2004 and there hadnt been a record before that), with Series, Defenders, 101FCs, Lightweights, Freelanders, Rangies and Discoveries all joining in. Now seven years on, with the Range Rover Sport thrown into the mix, there are an awful lot more Land Rover models out there, so achieving the goal of 500 should be a doodle we hope!
23-24 April is the Easter weekend, so hopefully that will entice a few more owners to turn out as the Monday will obviously be a Bank Holiday, so no work!!!
The weekend however wont just be confined to the world record attempt as there will be a host of attractions due to be announced in the New Year. Until then, have a butchers at the website for more details - www.convoy4heroes.org.uk
Hope to see you there!!!
