My run was as far as Stop 24 via the Airport Cafe. The Airport was chocked full. I saw about half of them at the services later. I assume my deodorant is the wrong sort as the rest of the centre went to the Blue & White. I ended up at Stop 24 at about 1150, met the organiser and started marshalling the arrivals a while later. My next job was counting the bikes as they left. I missed a few I know but counted 282 inc the coppers and me. The official count was nearer 400 or so I have been informed. I must be innumerate. I did manage a few pics - http://www.flickr.com/photos/pauldevall/sets/72157627625829089/ After everyone had left about a dozen late arrivals turned up and all but one went off to join the column. My run ended as unpaid PRO for MAG and the run explaining to the people at Stop 24 why we were doing it. At 1.30pm I managed to get away and went home.

The Hythe M20 meeting will set off from Stop 24 Services at 1pm and set off southwards on the M20 and A20 and disperse at Dover Eastern Docks. http://www.mag-uk.org/en/campaignsdetail/a6883 The latest: With just 4 days to go before we all ride on Sunday 25th, we are already making waves. Another MP, Mark Lancaster has now confirmed he'll be riding from Northampton services on the M1 and 6 MEPs have said they will be at their local runs to show support. This number is likely to grow as more call the office each day. The IMCO vote has now been postponed again! This time to the 22nd November, which means that the EU Parliament won't now be voting on this Type Approval Regulation until next year. The great news is that all this delay is directly related to the fuss we are causing. This Regulation will not be rubber stamped. There appears to be some friction between National Governments and the EU that didn't exist before you all started...
