Nope, that one seems to default on Google Maps too. Basically if you go up the A46 from J18 it's the one on the first major junction you come to, I think.

Yes Cross Hands is really simple to find off M4 at j18 turn north on the A46 and it's at the first set of traffic lights after about a mile and a half.

See you all at AV8 for breakfast !

Silly question but...
Is there a specific entrance to use to get to the Cafe/car park?

The entrance is off the A433 Tetbury to Cirencester road. There is a sign for Cotswold airport just follow that. Cotswold airport also have a web site with details on how to find AV8

...The Cross Hands Car Park @ 8.30? We could then go the "long way" via the hairpins at Nailsworth, Minchinhamptpon, Aston Down, & Cirencester and still be there before 9.30
OK... the old git in the white Soarer will be me. smile

That's the one. Easy to find as has been mentioned.

Are we all settled on being there for 8:30? We'll need to leave reasonably sharpish from Cross Hands I guess (especially if the longer route is favoured).

How about just off the roundabout on the A417, the 1st one after the M5. If you pull in left there is a little lane we could meet at. To be at Kemble for 9 let's say meet there at 0820? I'll try to get there just before s you can spot me!
Just to get it right in my head. Do you mean the lay by off the roundabout at the Gloucester end of the golden valley?

Hi, is there room for a little one from the Cross Hands onwards? I'm thinking of bringing the Caterham up from Bath. It's my first time at one of these so hello all!

I have a feeling he means the roundabout on the Shurdington Road at the bottom of Crickley Hill. Golden Valley is the A40.

See you all there tomorrow.

Here is the address off google maps.

Shurdington Road
England
GL51 4

I'll just tuck in there in the silver golf. See you there at about 0820, and any others who are coming from that way are more than welcome to meet there too!
