Carrera RSR · 06-14-2009, 07:23 AM

25th is good for me

(18th is the only date in July tied up. Aug is also out for me)

mjh93sa · 06-14-2009, 07:52 AM

Sounds like we have a plan developing

SoYank · 06-14-2009, 09:04 AM

So, what's the tally? Who is in for the 25th of July?

1. SoYank
2. E92Fan
3. mjh93sa
4. carrerarsr
5. <your name here>

mjh93sa · 06-14-2009, 10:35 AM

Lets set the date for the 25th then.

Next... location.

Bristol / Bath / Cheltenham

Bristol: Right on the M4 / M5 so easy to get to. But you do have to fight your way in and out of the city to get to some decent roads.

Bath: A little way off the motorways. Only fairly major routes in and out of the area, so a little drive to the fun roads.

Cheltenham(/Gloucester): Easy access to the M5, and from London on the end of the M/A40 or via Swindon and the A419. In the heart of the Cotswolds.... wouldn't take long to get out on some nice roads

G33 · 06-14-2009, 10:36 AM

cheltenham or swindon is much closer for me so im in

SoYank · 06-14-2009, 11:01 AM

Cheltenham is closer to me. But can I get there without coming anywhere close to Birmingham? It rains buckets every time I'm within ten miles of that place.

Only if you go into Wales or go via London.

SoYank · 06-14-2009, 05:30 PM

Matt / Will, we need a poll for the location.

willhollin · 06-14-2009, 05:40 PM

Please vote for your preferred meet location.

Bristol / Bath / Cheltenham

Bristol: Right on the M4 / M5 so easy to get to. But you do have to fight your way in and out of the city to get to some decent roads.

Bath: A little way off the motorways. Only fairly major routes in and out of the area, so a little drive to the fun roads.

SoYank · 06-14-2009, 06:02 PM

When you put it that way, Will, is there really any choice to make? Are those "nice roads" in the Cotswolds sans speed cameras?

Those were Matt's words I stole Floyd.

But I have done a fair bit of work around that area, and can't say I have seen many fixed speed cameras at all. Roads are quiet, and it's all very picturesque.

Try a Google search of "The Romantic Road" in the Cotswolds.

mjh93sa · 06-14-2009, 06:08 PM

I can think of a few

I think Will can testify to some nice ones on the way to the last UK meet and Boof was having fun in the M when he collected it.

Carrera RSR · 06-15-2009, 06:14 AM

What about South Cerney Water Park. Easy access from M5 or M4 via the A417. Several car parks to meet in eg. Cotswold Outdoor store with cafe next door. Pub/hotel next door. A water ski lake a bit further up for some out of car activities!! As Will and Matt have said very picturesque and good roads for a drive. Only an hour from Bristol/London/Birmingham.

e91mac · 06-15-2009, 07:47 AM

I would be up for either Bath or Bristol.

dxb335d · 06-15-2009, 02:24 PM
