I'm in London for a night out on the Saturday....what pub are you ending up in?

Still to be finalised.
Depends on the numbers involved, but it will be posted up the week before
Although the route is being kept seceret just in case the local BiB fancy an easy payday

How's the plans going chaps ! don't want to tread on any toes but can reccommend some good roads from J16 towards Weedon / Flore / Dav then round in big circle North of Np'ton. Haven't been to the new pub near Brampton Heath GC but have heard it's quite good & has a big car park. Other contenders might be; Navigation at Stoke Bruerne Heart of England / Crossroads at Weedon Spencer Arms at Chapel Brampton Red Lion at Braefield Dusty Fox at Harlestone

Sounds like a good pub crawl to me

Route is pretty well finalised and will be handed out on the day As we don't want to attract any attention from our wonderful BiB. The pub has been sorted by Di (tables reserved I think)she's going to post it here so ppl can just turn up there if they don't fancy the drive

The route can be driven at your own pace but I can't help but think that a few of us will be "pressing on"

I am planing a bit of a loop so there will be a shortcut for more sedate drivers (Di )

[C3 GTK]

Lets hope its stopped raining by then

[C3 GTK]

Just one jap car on the short cut then??

Anyway Le Mans isn't till next month

Unless you are into men wearing leather?

gbbird said:

Sorry if this is a dumb question or if it has been asked before, but is there a Service Station at J15a, and if so is this where we are meeting? ps - can someone confirm the time. Is it 10 or 10.30? >> Edited by gbbird on Thursday 13th May 13:36

Yes there is a service station at 15a
Meet in the car park northbound (anyone coming from the north you can get to it from the same junction)
Try to get there for 10:30 (Richard )
We will try to leave at 11:00
