Following on from the regular Kent run thread, as I had a spare 5 minutes I thought I'd try and put something together.

Proposed date: Sunday 25th February
Proposed time: 06:30 meet for a 06:45 depart (sunrise @ 06:52)
Meeting point: Toby Carvery, Badgers Mount (opposite the Polhill Garden Centre, just off J4 M25 - TN14 7AD)

The intention is to try and get the run complete and be sitting down for breakfast before the hoards of OAP's in Honda Jazz' begin to clog the roads.

The proposed route incorporates a wide variety of roads and the Hindhead tunnel and should take ~2.5 hour to see us sitting down for breakfast at the Devil's Punchbowl before 9:30am smile - for obvious reasons I'll send the route on by PM before the date which can be exported to a phone/sat nav to follow on the day.

As needs to be said, I personally abide by all 30/40/most 50mph speed limits and will likely look to overtake any traffic where possible and safe to do so, please drive within the limits of your car and ability, I'd rather not have people binning cars into hedges. I will build in stopping/re-group points along the way to minimise "any keep up at any cost" pressures.

If your interested please reply below smile

I should be up for this, I'll add my name to the list nearer to the date if I can make it nearer the time. Might be a mate or two with me as well.

OP, if you want a good cafe not so far west this place is good, one of my usual stops: https://goo.gl/maps/A9FbAjamv3A2

Thanks for that - only plan to head west was to make the tunnel - that stop would be a pretty good re-group point in a draft route so may work for people to stop/go on from as they please smile
