This event has ceased to be anything approaching good value. OK for those not on constrained incomes though as it still has a unique appeal and is an absolutely amazing turnout of Jaguars in motion, as opposed to the normal static displays. I hope to marshall this year, so my car will still get a day out.
Meanwhile I found a charity event, The Forester Run, in 2009 (advertised at the L to B), and did it, the only Jaguar! This year is the second, organised by the local Austin Healey and TR2 Registers it takes in 80 miles of Sussex countryside in and around the Ashdown Forest.
For £60 (car and one passenger) you get a bacon or sausage roll and coffee, cake and coffee at the halfway point, finish with a hogroast with trimmings, AND the bulk of the entry money goes to a local hospice. That's what I call good value. Cheers, apax.

Archie told me about a Jag run on St Georges Day April 23rd New Romney, plan to do that one. Cheers, Roy

Also, the RHDR is good fun but make sure you get a carriage with sides and a roof if it’s anything other than nice weather (or stay in the pub). N
