Good sunny day! A funny start! Yes i followed down the A303 because a i looked at the hand out map to see a small pen mark on the 303 thinking that the route was going down to the micheldever exit and then roar back to the a33! But when i saw cars race off infront down to and past the A34 we just started to laugh and broke off down the A30 with a dark pearl purple Lotus and my friend shellz in her saxondale mustang and we got back on the A33 in the end!
We got to the half way pub in time to have a drink! shame they didnt open for us, they lost alot of money there!
The other moment was Petersfield! now i have past either side of that town so many times in my life and when i did go in for the first time the road was closed and then i followed the diverts and used what i did know of the area to get to south harling! I looked in my mirror to see a mass convoy of Fast cars follow suite and relised that i was mother hen! I hope my detour was fine with you all! I felt i had a weight on my shoulders then!
And then driving through Compton we cam across a cycling event and thought No all these sports cars coming face to face with cyclists! But i didnt hit one anyway! i just got them waving with thumbs up and big smiles across there faces as we went past!
Oh and then the Pony & trap convoy was great to see! again i hope on one got close to them!
I finish off the day with a nice Swim in the sea! Lovely!
So any particular reason why you went all the way around the roundabout shortly after just leaving the 7*'s , of course we had to follow you all the way down to the coast ( red VX220 ). Interesting encounters on the way down , cyclists, ponies , ramblers. Top day out, thankyou PH.

Very belated thanks to the organisers. My first pistonheads event, despite lurking here for ages, and I can safely say I had the worst handling car there, and the most un-pistonheads-like, but I had a laugh regardless. What a great route to drive - with or without the cyclists, walkers, bikers and pony traps!
