Re: Season kick-off run (South) - 7 April 2019
Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2019 10:35 pm
Hi all, an update. Firstly let me apologise for misleading some of you who thought this was from Winchester. It is not. I was suggesting we do another run somewhere in the South like the Winchester run last summer.
This is one will be in Oxfordshire for owners all over the South, but also, I was thinking, and I should have thought of this earlier, aren't there any owners in the Midlands (or further north) who would like to drive down on their favourite roads and meet us for us for lunch at C&M??? (see below) If so please let us know.
Ian (irg100) has produced a route covering 43 miles of great roads in Oxfordshire. Kicking off at the PearTree (Welcome Break) services just north of Oxford on the A34, Then driving north west to Caffeine & Machine. Bod is contacting them to book us in, so we need to confirm numbers soon.
Since we are all coming from different directions there won't be a breakfast meet with all of us like last time, rather a mid morning meet at PearTree services (see below). I have worked out a route for myself and anyone who wants to meet up from further South to drive to PearTree. I have added 2 meeting points in Basingstoke and Newbury, based on who might be coming Other meeting points can be added if required. I will load this as well as Ians main route on the MyRoute-App Ariel Club group shortly for your SatNav downloads. Or you can follow the car in front.
Suggest the following times (including the Southern chapter people)
TIME...MTG POINT....WHERE
0900...Basingstoke...A339 Just north of Basingstoke. If anyone wants to meet me here I will send Map.
0930...Newbury.......Waitrose Carpark RG14 1NB. Then drive up to meet others at PearTree via Wantage and other backroads.(36 miles)
1030...Oxford.........Pear Tree Services OX2 8JZ. Then drive on main route to Caffeine & Machine (43 miles) <<< START POINT
1200...Ettington......Caffeine& Machine CV37 7NS. Lunch <<< END POINT
All of us will be on the main route of Oxford to C&M. Please Confirm soonest who is on this run so Bod can book C&M. Also anyone who wants to join me at the Basingstoke or Newbury meeting points above then please let me know. I will publish full route next in next couple of days. Those getting to PearTree from other directions can setup their own meeting points if required.

Looking forward to taking the dust sheet off the Atom and meeting you all again. Of course this is all weather dependent.
