Is a last minute entry acceptable?

No problem, be good to have you along!

 

[Ianmc]

Great, thank you. Better give the old girl a wash then, and the car.

Back as ever.. the lovely run around the New Forest. A similar route with a few tweaks and some lovely views at a maximum speed of 40 mph.

Setting off from the services at the bottom of the A36 Ower. Meeting from 09.45. Leaving from 10.30 in groups. I will require a few volunteers to help as ever. Route through the forest and ornamental drives and then a short stop at a different car park before on to Leep for refreshments. Then back to Lyndhurst and a walk into the village.

Basically a gentle pace all day.

I have added the proposed route in a .pdf from google maps. This might change depending upon the road works and any other items that might crop up. It was just to give you an idea.

Update,

Been asked to see about some food at the end. I am thinking we could all walk into Lyndhurst and visit this public house which appears to do reasonable food.

357 miles Whitehaven to the Southern West PI, roared like a lion Strangely she didn't drop below 29mpg at any point which is at least 3mpg more than before I fitted my Supersprint exhaust and K&N 57i Induction Kit. More power would appear to mean more mpg, which is nice

A quick wash and Ready to go in the morning

That's blown the cobwebs out then, see you in the morning Andy.

When you get a signed Zed pass mate it can't be refused The Doris at the M6 Toll did give me a funny look when I handed her a €5 note though. Doh oh, I won the "Toll gate getaway" MASSIVELY

Funny enough. When I set off from Durham this morning. I noticed it getting progressively warmer as I got further South.

Let's hope for a good one.
