I think it might have to be single file? Guiness have to verify they've counted correctly, so that might mean multiple "counting stations" along the mile, with cars being counted and tallied off, possibly against individual car numbers.

Anyone have a rough idea of timings for this?As I understand it Bruntingthorpe can't be accessed until noon and all vehicles must be in by 2p.m. but what happens after that and when?After all Bruntingthorpe must also have a closing time.

IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING DOGS AT THE EVENT
'If you are a dog owner who was planning to bring your four legged friend to Bruntingthorpe on 31st March, please would you read this important announcement. (In full). Following a complaint made directly to Bruntingthorpe in the past week, we have had to review the decision to admit dogs to the event and where we have previously made statements confirming dogs could attend, we regretfully need to inform you that dogs will no longer be allowed onsite or admitted into the event. The event team have regular cadence and update meetings with Bruntingthorpe management. The review of the compliant and the higher than expected number of vehicles and people expected to be on site, has heighten the risk and our public liability insurer was not prepared to underwrite this increased risk. We will over the next few days update past posts to reflect this revision to the meeting, we hope with time in front of us you can make alternative plans to accommodate this revised position. In the interim please would you share this post with attendees you may know who had planned on bringing their dogs to the event. I sincerely apologise for the change but above all else, your safety and that of others attending the day remains the event teams top priority. Kindest regards Millsy' |

Having re-modelled with 3 columns, and allowing 5 m between rows we know have a convoy 3.15 km long (1.9 miles), and made up of 333 rows, which means we have less than 1 km between the front row and the last row, assuming every row sets of one at a time as opposed to all at once, is there a danger that the front rows will have to stop behind the last row as they have run out of track before the last row can set off? Just interested to have your thoughts as we watch this challenge grow to what appears significant numbers. Last edited by cadaron; Feb 20th, 2019 at 09:33. |
