Fair points Shane and Alan.
We had a fair bit of communication up and down the line of cars to try and keep the group together. Some of the sheep appearances and also a dog walker who stopped all cars in one section to explain the road ahead
didn't help but the point about the rearview mirror is something we may need to just explain a bit more on next run especially to new people.
We've had a few comments on food this time both at lunch and dinner and I think on the lunch part the 1 hour break was great idea so we probably could have easily afforded to order from menu and still have loads of time. Good feedback. Someone also mentioned the idea of "while in Rome" we maybe should look for food places with local specialties - fresh fish etc.
That's a great idea Alan and I think we should at least have some discussion on this prepping next run. We do need to mix it up in terms of the routes we use and destinations to keep it fresh. Maybe come more southerly on next west coast trip as some people were suggesting again purely to keep it fresh but also to enable others to get the opportunity to attend.
