Hi all,

OK, its getting VERY close now

Various meet ups have been suggested, but how about meeting up at Taunton (so all those coming from Bristol/WSM/Etc?) for the rest of the run Sherborne

Anyone suggest a meeting place?

Suggest meeting at 915 if thats good with everyone

Hi Foundy,

was planning several stops/meet ups

So Bristol folks could meet you at Gordano, could then have another meet at WSM Morrisons car park before heading down to meet others at Taunton if someone can come up with a suitable meet point there?

(possibly Sainsburys car park, the one at the Odeon park just off the M5 junction?)

i dont know, wont be there long, i think a lot of people use it for a meeting place, or as you go towards yeovil onto the dual carrageway, out of a 30mph past speed scamera on the right, up the hill pas trafic lights, down the hill there is a big layby on the left with a little tea/burger van, meet there if you want?

ok, I'll be there, I'll introduce myself, Allen, and I will be in a topaz blue M3, maybe bringing a mate as well.

There is 3 areas of car parking at the pub, 1 is to the left as you come in. 2 is as you turn in continue past the pub frontage. 3 is continue straight on past 1 and around the back, thats the one I shall be in, seems to be a usual meet place

WSM meet sounds good.

Autoroute says its going to take 90mins to get from WSM to Sherbourne (keeping strictly to the speed limits of course nono) so suggest we meet in Morrisons car park and leave no later than 8.45am. Will give us plenty of time to get to Taunton and meet the rest there at 0930, then set off for the castle woohoo.

You'll hear me coming. . . hehe
