Daventry - Leam. Spa - S-on - Avon looks pretty good ! Over the top of the M1 - start with inner ring road !
Look forward to hearing your plan Dale !!

Being from Ketrin we went down the A14 then Fosse way , OK but lots of traffic took about 1hr 20mins , came back via Banbury /Silverstone/ N`ton . Riverside was about 55mins from Ettington , so not alot different from home.
David and I are car park attednants for the day so we need to be there early but 8.30 from Riverside is OK I think if thats not too soon for others.
So , any volunteers to help parking up the cars by model on the day ?
Remuneration .... nonexistant
Adulation.........scarce
Hassle............guaranteed

Car parking..........I`ll lend a hand !
Route....Inner ring road - Six fields - Daventry - Leamington direction
- pick up the Fosse way - Turn off to S.O.Avon sounds good !

Dale, as per our mail, I could attach myself to the rear of the convoy around Daventry area. If you don't go past Daventry, will catch up at some other point en route.

As regards the route onwards, personally I would recommend avoid Fosse Way as it is a boring straight. Instead you can catch B4451 from Southam down to Gaydon and then hop across to Fosse or take some lanes. I take the B4451 quite often and it has some nice undulating bends, though with a couple of speed limits through villages.
