CLOSED:Road runner Challenge

[Lorraine L]

Here's another one for you.......

As you know Kelly and Monty are hitting the road in February for the forthcoming demo tour.

These are the venues and dates:

Sat Feb 7th – South View EC, Cheshire
Fri Feb 13th – The College EC, Keysoe
Sat Feb 14th – Hadlow College, Tonbridge
Friday Feb 20th – Quob EC, Southampton
Sat Feb 28th – The Hand EC, Clevedon

Now, for the challenge...
We are going to ask Kelly to Zero the trip meter on the IH Tour bus ( aka Horsebox )

From the time they leave Lambourn, until they arrive back after the Clevedon demo, how many miles will they have travelled ?

Now, you must remember that its no secret that the IH team do many detours to find the route they should have taken then there are the stops at the take aways / restaurants / pubs and popping here and there for all sorts of reasons, plus the intinery might bring them back home in between, so this is no easy task ;D

So for a donation of just £1 for each guess, the nearest person to the correct mileage will recieve one book from Kellys vast collection ( and we might persuade her to sign it for you )

Please use the usual methods of payment for your donation listed in the top of this section and leave your guess here on the thread ............. good luck

mmmmmmmm .... or one could study it scientifically , research the subject

One could take advice on the most direct route from A to B to C ....

..... then add 10% for fact finding missions ..... just where ARE we Kelly

..... add 7% for trips out to get the shopping / go to the pub

.... ... add 2 % to pick up stranded waifs broken down getting to venue

...... add 15% for the trips home to pick up clean knickers ( not saying whos


then multiply by 2 and subtract the first number I thought of



and since I paid £2 I will have 2 guesses

796 miles

852 miles

[confidentgal08]

just between you and me laura lol . good luck

[Lorraine L]

Congratulations to Laura for the nearest guess.
The actual mileage while the lorry was on tour was 985.

Good answers ladies !

Laura, could you please let me know which of Kelly's books you would like for your prize ?
Thank you

[confidentgal08]

well done laura

[laura]

well I have to say it was extremely scientifically calculated using the state of the art technology and a spy in the sky ............ so I will be sacking the spy in the sky for nipping behind a bush and missing that 133 miles when kelly nipped home for a chat with Pie . I HATE to be inexact.

thank you r&b .. I think they had mor devious than we thought cause if they had taken the direct / obvious routes i think the answer would have been closer to between your estimate and my lower one ........ they must have had quite few "detours"



as to the book

hhmmmmmmmmmm

perfect partners please ;D



thank you kelly for your brilliant prize
