5 mates with cars looking to meet up for an hours catch up, somewhere south of M25 - Brands Hatch to Dorking/Guildford area?

Not Box Hill as too busy.
Is Brands Hatch car park open??

Any recommendations or thoughts appreciated?

Any Pub car park, that is currently closed should do, but it would depend on whether you wanted just somewhere to park, or something to see when you have parked. Also, how far from the M25 is acceptable.


For example, the above are a mix of scenic location, somewhere for coffee and somewhere just to park.

Cobham Country Park car park
Maidstone services car park
Any designated part of the empty Bluewater car park

I am guessing the prime location is somewhere between the A21 and A25?

Does this not contravene the "meet up with 1 person" guideline?

Errr did you see pics of Brighton Beach this week? 5 blokes in a car park is positive isolation in comparison.

If the cars are not parked close to each other and people go by the two meter gap between them what's the difference between that and a supermarket car park .

Zoom? sit in your garden and have a beer, pretty much the same thing.

Why not have a socially distanced car meet? people are now playing golf and fishing and keeping 2 meters apart.

Rules, (there's a bloody joke for a start) rolleyes state that up to 6 people can meet up (persons not cars) wink I totally get what the OP is saying, do not go to a busy area, keep apart. No problem.

Take your own flask of tea and sandwiches jobs a goodun thumbup

I would find somewhere with a nice view.

Thanks for all your support, just need a couple more suggestions as to a location.
Hol - yes A21 to A3 sort of area.
Not keen on a service station, more somewhere scenic?
Thanks again.

What about new lands corner beauty spot overlooking Surrey hills . No longer charging for parking. Only warning it's become very busy recently.

Sorry, but why would you want to go to well known place that is Busy? The whole bloody point is to meet up somewhere that is NOT Busy so you can all keep apart banghead

There are a couple of small car parks near Limpsfield Golf club A25

Yes, but it's a well known spot and even on the Biker forums they are saying its being over run. frown

Here's a quite spot A225 near shoreham Kent

Layby overlooking the shoreham valley. Nice road too.
