Okay, the next Wiltshire Drive is set to go!

So, it's taking place on Saturday 27th of June, with an 9am start.

We'll be meeting at Blooms Garden Centre in Wroughton, just off Junction 16 of the M4.

Address:

Hay Lane
Near Wroughton
Swindon
SN4 9QT

The route we'll be taking may well be the 60 mile round trip we have previously taken on another meet, as I haven't had the time to develop another route - however I may modify this slightly if I get the time this weekend.

I've decided to make it 9am, so this time we can spend some time chatting at the start (as this ALWAYS over-runs!), set off when we feel like it, then end up at the pub.

The pub will be The Churchill, which has been well received on previous runs, so I see no reason to change the venue just yet. It is located just off Junction 16, Wootton Bassett exit. Plan to eat around midday.

As always, please can I ask for those who will be coming to the pub (regardless of if you're eating or not) to let me know, so I can book a table.

Once I've finalised the route, I will send it out to everyone. Please remember to look at the route before coming, as we don't want anyone getting lost! hehe

There's a sprint on at Castle Combe that day should you be anywhere close (free to spectate).

Thanks for the heads-up Pulse but I'm having a little more tinkering done to the Griff that day - I'll be oop north.
I've had the bling, V8Enhancements tuned exhaust manifolds fitted and on 27th I'm having the Torqueflow induction system fitted plus a rolling road session to ensure it's all sweet as can be. cloud9

I may be up for this guys, but i'll only know closer to the time. Going over to castle combe sounds like a nice change, I know the backroad route to there.

Anyway, might see you lot, might not. I'll keep you informed.

I hadn't thought about it much - I was going to go with a previous route (one you haven't been on), if that's OK with others. Unless someone else would like to devise a route that ends with Churchill, and we can run with that.

The planned route is 60 miles round trip smile

I'm happy to do that if someone wants to run the route from Blooms to CC, then CC back to Churchill?

Hopefully redbarron84 will be able to join us in his Ro, and he said he knows a good route.
