The time is getting closer and as some of you are aware I have been working on meeting points and routes for us that live south of the venue. Meeting points are and rough timings are Dave leaving Newhaven @7:15 and at Buckbarn macD RH138LW @8;15, (32mls) leave BB McD @8:30 arrive at Loomies GU32 1JX via a272 @ 9:30, ( 40mls 60 mins) leave Loomies @10:15 and arrive McD Oxford, OX2 0JR via alton,basingstoke @11:40 (65mls 90 mins) leave McDOx @12:00 and arrive Lime Kilns LE10 3ED via Banbury,southam and brinklow @13:40 (61mls 100 mins) Lunch!?! leave Lime Kilns @14:30 and arrive at Pub SK17 9QJ via ibstock, Sudbury, ashbourne @ 16:00 (64mls 100mins) maybe make a decision at Ashbourne to go to the pub straight up the A515 or divert from Ashbourne and go have tea at Matlock Bath, see how the saddle sores and backs are. From the list these are the peeps I had in mind and where would be most convenient Buckbarn McD Thebiglad Crispey Loomies Steve Lovatt Nigel Flook (Lucas60's mate) McD Oxford Roadrider Noel16 Lime Kilns Rooster Littleade Halfton Fullton Timings are not exact but give an idea, routes avoid motorways, meeting points have petrol stations nearby. Anyone else wants to meet up post which location, I will put detailed routes up shortly if some one fancies joining for a leg.
I'm 55 mind off so looking at times it will be Wednesday to make it a longer day out for me that's when I hope you have a ride out planned (fish & chips ) optional
I wouldn't of minded a day out but unfortunately or fortunately whatever your view I will be in London for a few days.
UPDATE!! The meeting place for Oxford has changed from MacD's Botley to Peartree Services Routes: if you can't make it up join us for a leg Buckfast Barn to Loomies Loomies to Oxford Oxford to Lime Kilns Lime Kilns to Ashbourne From there we might go straight to pub or go via Matlock Bath depending on how people feel. I will post timings later but due to Biglads ferry change we might be leaving Buckfast Barn at 8 to get to Loomies around 9 for breakfast and leave there about 930-9:40. Hope you can open the links
