That sounds interesting but there are no downloads, only an introductory page???

Hi Duncan
That is all I got. Contact John Stanley for more info.
I think the event could be better advertised as a “Gordon Bennet Revival” but I’m not the organiser.
Cheers
Howard

Hmm..the introductory page has some interesting “historical” bits. Evidently the organisers don’t have William Court or Henry Serrano Villard to hand, to name the first two volumes I see on my shelves.

There was an attempt to revive the GB Trophy(?) route a few years back but whether it came to anything I don't know.
I was thinking of going but something else came up.
IIRC there is an interesting 30-40minute compilation film of one or two of the historical events which I enjoyed some time ago but, on investigating a visit I seem to recall that ferry charges were more than I wanted to pay when there was a good chance of being half-drowned in an open top car on landing in Dublin!
I went for work several times on a motorcycle and was mostly lucky with the weather but the two times I went in a car it rained constantly...
