Going up on Saturday and the last couple of years have had a few from Down South meeting up en route

Suggest meeting at Rownhams then up to Chievley and off at the Peartree interchange for some country side to Ettington

Put you name down if you fancy it

Can sort final route and times midweek

Cheers

Moose

If not then I'll 'A' road it all the way on my own

I'll be able to leave Hungerford at about 10:15; will you guys be through the A34/M4 junction by then or will you still be close by?

My thought is to go up through Lambourn towards Burford and then onto Moreton in Marsh and to Ettington. Is this close to the route you are going to use?

Maybe a little early for you I feel Mark. Any chance you could get up earlier wink

The route would be more or less the same as your suggestion

Ower will be more convenient for the proposed route



My suggested plan so far ( open to ideas )

Meet at Truck Park adjacent to Texaco Garage / McDonalds at Ower just off Jct 2 M27 at 08:00 depart 08:15

1 - The Moosehunter
2 - Bananaman
3 - Eff Eff (?)

Fast 'A' roads via Tidworth

Arrive Chiseldon Esso Garage Nr Jct 15 off the M4 at 09:15 depart at 09:30

4 - Bluebottle (?)

More 'A' Roads via Stow on the Wold

Arrive at Ettington at 10:30


Subject to traffic of course

Will make mobile number available for those wishing to meet to gauge progress, for those en route

I am Newbury based and may be interested in joining the convoy. Is Chievely no longer a meeting point? - Is Esso junction 15 now the confirmed M4 meeting point instead?

many thanks
