Can confirm, TIYG is a great place and Dick and Dave (the guys who run it) are both lovely chaps. They're a sponsor of Limitless - so you'll get your time a bit cheaper if you're part of the club wink

Also, our monthly meets (first Sunday of every month, 12pm-4pm) are held there. Here are some of the pictures from our last one.


Edit - Faringdon is a pleasant little place, I went to school there. Good main road links, and getting to Grove will be easy using the A420 and A417.

Will look into TIYG & the meet, looking at the website it looks like a really good place.

Faringdon does look really nice, quite excited about moving now tbh

In the area now, seems like a good little place, getting to/from work hasn't been all that difficult tried a few different routes including some back roads which has been fun driving.

Could people suggest places to visit/things to see, want to take advantage of the green sites and take my camera with me as much as possible, first stop is the sculpture just outside the Grove Technology Park, looks ace.

Where abouts did you settle on in the end? If you are nearer to Oxford, Port Meadow is a good place for a walk when the sun is out? You can walk from the Perch pub along the river to the Trout pub.

Cotswolds worth a look, Burford etc.

Good driving roads from Wantage down to Shefford and lambourne loop.

Pony Road VW at horspath Industrial Estate are decent VAG specialists. Took my old GTI to them.
