This thread is to consolidate all of the important information from the huge one below.

Here is a list of people who have showed an interest so far.

If your name isn't down and you want to come, or its down and you now cant make it could you please send me a PM rather than post below so we can keep this thread short.

There have been slight changes to the first "Master Plan" but nothing drastic. Place to meet, route proposed and final destination will be posted and confirmed tomorrow along with maps to be attached. Further discussions etc can carry on, on the original thread.

This meet is set to be a good one, dont miss it.

[Simon]

The pub is called the "Churchill" and is exactly where the blue arrow is on the map! South of Junction 16 M4, head towards Wootton Bassett.

Meeting time set for 12 noon, as close as possible. We will have to leave by 12.30 to get to the next pub!!

[Simon]

Our detination is the:- Lysley Arms, Pewsham, Chippenham, Wiltshire. 01249 652864. We will hopefully have a room to ourselves and a huge car park to show your "prides and joys"!

We will still go through Avebury....and see some old stones! Lacock had to be altered due to lack of car parking!!!!!

The map is a rough indication of a possible route, it will take 15-20 minutes approx. Detailed map/route to be handed out on day.

The Lysley is south of junction 17 M4 by 10-15 minutes max so it will be easy for most people to head home. (Chippenham is the only thing between the pub and the M4.......M4 very well signposted)

The pub has large car park, outside seating and play areas :-D , plus food and drink.

More info. to be provided as and when i get it. Thanks for those you have already PM'd me.

[Simon]

If all goes to plan............. the first section is a B-road with a nice hill climb section ;) ....then onto a main a-road into Avebury...route used by the bikers...suitable for a quick blast then through Avebury (slowly) then....another nice road!!!! ...then back onto second B-road with nice drop down into Calne :-b ...the pub is then a short distance along the main A4. Thats assuming all goes to plan :sick:
