Hunt Cooke is just back from the November Sun Run 2015 which he says "is
a light-hearted four day event organised in France by an expatriate Brit with
the help of local enthusiasts of both nationalities. It is a bit different from
most historic road rallies in that there is no regularity timing. Instead the
object is to spot code boards, answer questions and identify objects on route,
which sounds like a treasure hunt, but in fact it is rather more than that because
the navigation, which appears deceptively straightforward, relying as it does
almost entirely on French road numbers, can become unexpectedly tricky. Its popularity
is apparent in that the event scheduled for November 2016 is already fully subscribed.
The
November Sun Run 2015, besides raising money for the GOSH appeal, celebrated
the 50 year anniversary of the MGB GT, as shown on the rather charming medals
given as awards. The one pictured alongside was given to Chris Hunt Cooke for
winning his class on the event. Chris reports that his V8 Roadster was the ideal
mount to tackle the Alpine regions, gobbling up the hills with no problem. |
