South West / South Wales Hoon

[vetteheadracer]

As we seem to be missing out on all of the Hooning fun in the South West, anyone fancy a Hoon one day next week between Xmas and New Year?

Roads should be quieter and I have a prospective route tentatively planned. Thought we could meet at the car park at Birdlip as assuming it isn't foggy it's a great view.

Thought we could meet about 10 a.m. drive for a couple of hours, stop at a pub for some lunch and then head off or do another hour or so driving.

How about next Friday the 29th?

I can do that - which car will depend on the weather

10am there. Is the car park easy to spot?

If you are coming up the A417/A419 from Swindon direction then it is turn left towards Birdlip then first right to the Scenic View car park.

If you are coming from Bristol i.e. up the M5 then it is off M5 at J11a keep right and at the roundabout turn left. You will be driving away from Gloucester....if not you are going the wrong way!

Damn you all. The first hoon anywhere near me and i'm without a hooning car.

Viewpoint carpark signposted as shag hill, due to dubious nocternal activities. Can recommend a good route out to stow if you like, will do a map online tomorrow.

Pretty sure someone can provide you with a passenger seat

Yep 10am start. Recovery from manflu seems to be going to plan. #Should be there for 10am. I assume the birdlip carpark is well signposted/obvious? I'll be leaving the motorway, going up birdlip hill and at the roundabout turning a sharp right towards Birdlip. I assume this will get me there?

Good to hear the Manflu has subsided

Directions from the M5 J11a

Follow A417 signs towards Cirencester. At the roundabout by the Air Balloon pub take the 2nd exit staying on the A417 up the hill. at the top of the hill turn right onto the B4070 (Scenic parking sign) then take the first right and drive down the road to the car park.
If it is sunny then the views are stunning so bring your cameras

See you all at 10 a.m. tomorrow.

I will be arriving in convoy with 3GO (Supercharged C5 Corvette) and Shoebag (Diablo VT)

I have written some directions for the route, might be worth bringing a map in case you get lost!
