You will be in the Pie & Wye area! There are a number of PHers in the area, I believe...according to the turnout last Sunday!

Steve Howard (TVR specialist) is based in Hurst, not too far away...MOT place in Loudwater, too (ask Ted)...

You are near enough to get to the TVRCC Berks meet every 3rd Tuesday near Reading, and I think there is a Bucks TVRCC as well, but not sure. Welcome to the Countryside Plenty of lovely driving roads over yonder way, too...see you around!

Yeah, Ted lives nearby, and there are many PHers in Wycombe. At least 10 in Wyc, and 20-30 or so in the surrounding areas (Marlow, Maidenhead, Henley etc.).

The problem with Loudwater is that there isn't much going on as it doesn't really have a centre. There are a number of pubs and some decent roads. Nice route from Loudwater:

- Head towards Wyc from Loudwater
- Go up Hammersley Lane on your right after about half a mile
- Take a right at The Old Queens Head (Pie and Wye meet pub - here's your tip for a pie eating venue!) and then bear left at the green
- At first mini roundabout at end of that road take a right towards Amersham
- Follow road for ages until you come to a roundabout with two lanes, one right only down towards Amersham, the other left towards Gt Missenden
- Enjoy wide open roads until you go up a big single lane hill, whereupon you will need to take a left at a roundabout towards Gt Missenden
- Take a right and left at the mini roundabouts and go up past Gt Missenden station and head towards Prestwood
- Follow road all the way to Wycombe (signposted) then return to Loudwater on London Rd (watch out for Truvelo Gatso near Wyc centre)

Cheers
Domster

Someone else in the area! Welcome. As Domster said, not a lot going on here. A couple of pubs that aren't to bad, apparently the White Horse in Wycombe is quite good at lunch-times. Probably should ask Domster/Bluesatin never been there myself When are you moving in? E-mail me if you want.

Was dragged up not far from Loudwater. Whilst Loudwater itself isn't particularly flash, there are loads of nice places around for pub lunches & blasts.

Can't remember all the routes, but around Princes Risborough there are some great roads (other side of Wycombe) or look up the back routes from Marlow to Henley and surrounds - best done out of peak hours predictably.

Move in 3 weeks time over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend (sucker for punishment) ...

Griffith is having a rest currently and will be for the next month I imagine ... Once it is out and about again I will start to circulate ..

Sounds like there are plenty of like minded individuals in the area which is very promising..

Anyone know who the TVR specialist is in Loudwater itself. Saw a sign there on Tuesday ??

The specialist is www.thev8centre.com . Nice bloke by the name of Perry. Haven't had any work done there but he had a few TVRs in and some other V8 and classic stuff when I dropped by. He's about to move premises though to somewhere else in Wycombe.

Bandit
You are not related to badger bandit are you?
If you want a run/meet around Maidenhead, Marlow, Slough or Wycombe let us all know. Plenty around and always looking for an excuse to take the car out to play. All I can say is that if domster is involved the white horse of the honeypot may be involved in any run!!
