Al - which way are we going
MM...you don't seriously expect Big Al to be your navigator?! Hmm, unless he brings his Smart, I think that has SatNav! 
Otherwise I'd rely on Mike_e OH 
so long as he remembers not to use the southbound lane of the A24 to travel north!! Mungo...thanks for that
Okay, I've had a word with the manager of the Seven Stars pub to forewarn him and he's looking forward to seeing us!! Btw, you can't book tables and children are welcome. I would suggest the following plan:-
* Meet at Pease Pottage Services at 10.30 am.
Assemble on the far side of the car park near the exit.
* Take the A23 (southbound!). Exit at junction for Bolney Village (IIRC also signposts the A272 Cowfold/Billingshurst/Petersfield).
* Take the A272 to Petersfield.
We'll pick up Big Al et al at Bucks Barn Services (where the A24/A272 cross-over between Cowfold and Coolham). There will probably be insufficient parking here for all of us so I'll ring Big Al en route to warn him of our impending arrival whereupon he can link up without us having to stop there!
Petworth is a little tricky. Keep driving through until you reach the mini roundabout (car showroom on left) and turn right towards Midhurst (A272).
At Midhurst keep an eye out for the sign to turn right for Petersfield (it's been knocked a tad!).
Approaching Petersfield there's a Rover garage on the left (White Rose) and immediately following that a
roundabout. Go straight over to Petersfield and follow the lane for Stroud/Winchester (A272 or may also signpost the A32...sorry, unfamiliar territory!). Once you come out of Petersfield there'll be a large roundabout with services on your right and the A3 overhead. Go straight over towards Stroud/Winchester (A272/A32).
Basically don't deviate from the A272!
The pub is on the left after you've gone through Stroud (which is just the other side of Petersfield).

Cheers .Mark I was panicking there for a sec! Who needs SatNav when you have a Roz!
The ETA depends on when we leave Pease Pottage but I'd say it'll take a good hour to get to the pub. The route is brill but unfortunately it attracts Sunday drivers not wanting to exceed 40 mph which is more painful than tooth extraction!
So, if we leave PPS by 11.00 am at the latest, hopefully we'll arrive at approx 12.15 pm. It would have been better to be at the pub earlier for parking purposes (altho' it has a large parking area) but we have to bear in mind that ncs (Nick) is coming from Kent.

Nick - Is it OK for a Kent outer member to join your
little convoy at Clackets on Sunday.
If I'm not there then assume :
1. I'm not going
2. I'll meet you at Pease Pottage services
3. The G/F has thrown all her toys out of the pram !
4. SEAC has died a horrible death.
5. Going to fast to stop...
