At last everything has been sent to Guinness and we now have a 6-8 weeks wait to see if they accept our world record. We sent them lots of pictures, 3 Videos of the minis in convoy, paper cuttings, both articles from the Mini mags , a letter from Nick Harvey MP for North Devon, a letter from Andrew Eastman Mayor of Westward Ho!, a letter from the Hospice. Lets hope we find out before Christmas.

This years LGT was the biggest and best one yet but we still only took out 300 Minis. The way the cars were decorated and the fancy dress was just incredible. The atmosphere was electrifying right through the weekend. This is what a few people have said.

“The LGT has to be the friendliest, happiest Mini event of the year.”

Kay Drury Mini World

“Legendary is one of those buzz words that get branded about all over the place, But if there’s one event that truly deserves the term it’s the “Legendary” North Devon Grand Tour”.
Jeff Ruggles Mini Mag.

“To be able to combine such a total for charity and to bring such joy to the children was totally remarkable”.

Nick Harvey MP for North Devon.

“The children and Families, who ask to stay at Little Bridge House to coincide with your event, always have a truly special time and talk of nothing else for weeks to come”
Alison Berridge CHSW.
