Hi all,
I've just moved to Farnham and am looking to find some cool people and great roads.

Any meet up's planned or suggestions for roads welcome smile

Depending on what you're after Farnborough District Motor Club (FDMC) is pretty active.
HTH.
Cheers, Pewe.

Welcome, the TVR guys have done a meet every month in the Bracknell area that is open to all.

Nice drive up the A331 from Farnham - look on TVR events for dates!

I'm somewhere between in Sandhurst and cannot recommend these enough. I went last year when someone brought along a 1965 convertible Ford Corsair - it was just stunning!

Any info on these meets and when are they? I only live up the road in Camberley.

Phil organises them and posts here in the TV&S forum, just a case of keeping an eye on these forums really.

for example:

If your on FB join a group called "Berkshire sports and classics" too as they often have meets etc posted on there.

Hey JW027 and welcome

I also live in Farnham/aldershot border. there a few good little fun spots to be had like the Tweseldown Rd, Church Crookham, Fleet, Hampshire GU52 8DE

Its great but be safe and get used to it with no traffic smile

The virginia water lake car park meet is only about 20 mins away from Farnham and is good fun and informal, just turn up. But I'm not sure when the next one is. hopefully someone will tell us!

Keep an eye on the South Coast section for when the Meon Hut meets start up again. It's normally around April/May time.

About 30mins from farnham but a nice drive down the A31/A32 to get there.

Speaking of which a nice early morning route for a drive would be:
Starting in Farnham (take the road up past Martins VW garage) head to;
Crondall
Well
Odiham
Alton
Then either head towards Bordon and back up the A325 to farnham, or carry on to Selborne/Petersfield areas or down the A32 towards the A272.

Also A287 to Hindhead then A286 down to Goodwood is a nice run out, with faster more open roads.

Thanks for all the replies guys and girls.

I'll try and get to the Virginia water meet. I have joined the FDMC too. Looks like a busy little club so i'm heading off to Bordon to watch the autosolo in March smile

Thanks for the routes I'll spend some time on maps and see if i can plan a route smile
