I’ve heard there’s normally quite a big turnout at this. What’s the route, down the peninsula etc? Would be good as it’s local to me

I did it last year in a Beach Buggy. Was a fantastic night for it. Unfortunately, I cannot make it this year, will be on holiday and not back in time.

Photo from Grahams album last year to show the turnout.

@Michael M the route last year was Carrowdore-Greyabbey-Ballywalter-Millisle-Carrowdore. Route travelled through the grounds of the Dunleath Estate in Ballywalter, stopped on the Pier, then back to the outskirts of Millisle along the Woburn Road back to Carrowdore.

I will be there photographing, weather has been reasonably kind down this way all day and they are not stopping on the harbour this year, instead doing a regroup at Sandycove caravan park close to Ballyferris, a good chance to see the cars up close and chat with drivers, get pictures of the kids with their fav metal...
