Retford Mini Diddlers are organising a Mini Convoy Run to Marsden in West Yorkshire to the Standedge Tunnel & Visitors Centre “Teddy Bears Picnic” http://www.standedge.co.uk/index.htm.
Standedge Tunnel is the highest, longest and deepest canal tunnel in the UK, stretching for 5,029 metres (3.25 miles) through hard millstone grit. An engineering marvel worked on by Thomas Telford, the tunnel runs from Marsden in Yorkshire through to Diggle in Lancashire.
All children with a Teddy can go free on the tour boat that takes a short trip into the tunnel.
You do not need to be a member of our club to join us.
All are welcome on our family day out.
To take part in this event all you need is a Mini (Classic
or BMW) and a Teddy Bear.
We have arranged special parking at the visitors centre to display our minis and Teddy Bears.
There will be a prize awarded to the best Mini & Teddy display and the manager of the visitors centre has agreed to be the judge.
There will be several pre arranged meeting points on the route to Marsden details will be posted at a
later date.
