Wessex & New Forest Triumph Run

2012's event took place on 15th April this year. Well over 100 Triumph cars of all ages descend on the New Forest for a day of driving around and enjoying the local countryside. Our route took us from Avon Valley Park to Fordingbridge, through the northern part of the Forest, down the former runway of Stoney Cross airfield and then through Rhinefield Arboretum.
Coffee stop at Brockenhurst and then off to Christchurch via New Milton and Barton-on-Sea.
Our destination was Christchurch Quay - which is probably very pleasant on a sunny day.
Which it wasn't!  It was bitterly cold and so along with many others, we made an early run for home!
We picked up a problem with the car as well.  To add to the irritating non-functioning fuel gauge, which is going to require the fuel tank to come out, the fuel pipework and / or pump is wailing like a deranged Banshee. We hope it is no more than a clogged fuel filter, but if it is, then the fuel tank is going to need a steam clean
