we can finalise meeting points on Friday or Saturday. Looks like we have 2 or 3 depending where people coming from. I will provide final times and pin drops on Saturday.

We have a southern group who will congregate before or at the Yarnton meeting point. Maybe ChrisG will meet us there

We have a SW group will travel up together, and meet Southern Group at Enstone

We have a provisional meeting point just before C&M to collect everyone coming from other places, so we can arrive and park together

watch this space. final details on Saturday

10 cars.Looking good

So are we at 11 cars now?

Simon,yes we will route through Bloxham, and yes weather looking much better this time. It will be good to meet you at last.

Will be putting up final details shortly.

Ok here are the times and meeting points. We have a few groups getting together before some of the meeting points below. A south west group, and southern group, others from Birmingham/Midlands, and yet others joining along the way

MEETING POINT 1 @ 1000 (Southerners)
BP station on north bound A44 in Yarnton. Here ---> https://maps.app.goo.gl/QWVL7bgmVWmX1hSE9

GraemeW
Winmoz
Peter255
Som
Chris G
Then route to Meeting Point 2 ---> https://maps.app.goo.gl/hVcdPxUkEHSm1NFb6


MEETING POINT 2 @ 1030 (South Westers meet southerners)
Texaco station in Enstone. Here ---> https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ev5WM6fWt4joFjmz8

Phil M
Sir Nick
Chris
Rich
plus Southerners above from meeting point 1
Then route to Meeting Point 3 ----> https://maps.app.goo.gl/u5QMMKt7kEVHvRWB8
We will pick up anx10us along the way as we go through Bloxham at about 1040 -1045


MEETING POINT 3 @ 1050 - 1100
Lay-by just before C@M on the A429. Here ---> https://maps.app.goo.gl/cxPB4GMDVeWKYfsL6

Everybody from 1 & 2 above plus those from Birmingham way
AA70MUK
Paul

Plus anyone else? lets get everyone together at Meeting Point 3, then its just a mile or so to C&M so we arrive and can park together.
Anybody else going not on the list above or want to meet at a different point, please PM or WhatsApp me. Thanks

The above routes are from Ians route to C&M in 2019. More interesting drivers roads. I will have the complete route as a GPX on my SatNav, as I don't trust google. It may complete randomly reroute you, according to some bizarre logic, and doesn't allow enough waypoints to properly define a route. Hopefully we will be ok. Let's try stick together and no Warp speed through Cotswold villages.

See you all tomorrow. I will contact Winmoz et al Southerners on WhatsApp, about perhaps meeting up before Yarnton.

Don't forget your tickets for the Yard. Link further upon this topic

The full route from Yarnton to C&M is on MyRouteApp in the Ariel Club Road Trips Group, if you want a GPX file

If you don't have access, register on MyRouteApp (it's free for basic membership) then search for Ariel Club Road Trips and apply to join. Let me know once you've done this, then I can approve it. You will see all the routes in there. Look under 2023 folder in this case
