Next weekend is Bank Holiday weekend, and Bank Holiday Monday is the annual Popham Mega-meet! I fully intend to make it all the way to Popham this year, that means no side tracks into St Richards A&E! Ahem!
Any Sussex Monsterers wanting to meet up and ride in together let Jmo know and she can get in touch with me direct :bunny:

Sussex DSC, and any Monsterers happy to join our throng (NO, NOT THONG!), will meet the Kent, Surrey and Hampshire DSC groups at 0915 in Alton at the Station Cafe, and the Oxon, Beds and Berks DSC groups in Basingstoke at the junction of the A340 and A339 (462750E,153250N for any orienteers among us, or copy http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?G2M?X=462705&Y=153335&A=Y&Z=2 into your internet browser) leaving at 1030 for a mass ride in to Popham! That means an EARLY start guys n gals, we need to leave Bury Hill by 0830 prompt, so anybody wishing to accompany me from my home will need to be here by 0800! We'll go from Bury Hill up the A29, cut through Fittleworth, onto the A272 to Petersfield, up the B2070 (the old A3 as was) to Liss, then across the B3006 through Selborne to Alton. Then up the dreaded A339 to Basingstoke, watch your speed along the A272 and the A339!

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU'VE FILLED UP WITH GAS BEFORE YOU GET TO BURY HILL, the group will be a bit too big to control if we have to stop for petrol, especially when we get to Alton.

Any Sussex queries please let Jmo or myself know, any other Monster groups want to join up along the way should contact their regional organiser to arrange to get along to one of the meeting points above :burnout:

Look forward to seeing everyone again, enjoy the day!

Ride safe,

Paul

Just to confirm for Sussexites - we'll be meeting at Bury Hill from 8am (cafe should be open then...) and leaving at 8.30am with Paul & DSC crew for the run to Alton etc.

As he says, please fill up before you get to Bury Hill - you should have a enough juice for the whole day then...

See you there!

Dont forget we need to leave straight away at 0830 so be prepared and have that "natural break" beforehand Jen :p dont want you dashing into the woods again

The kiosk probably wont be open at Bury Hill folks, so make sure you top up your caffeine level before leaving home if you want to make it to Popham :bunny:

Ho ho ho...

The Cafe should be open from 8am in the summer, but as you say, it might not be...

Nigel - the Tesco mini-mart/petrol station at Storrington should be open, but then you could always fill up the night before...?!

See you there fellas!

Not sure of my plans for Monday yet. I'll let you all know.

Nigel, the BP at Crossbush will definitely be open (you know, the one with the Maccy D's before Arundel).

Scared about going on the A339. We all know what happened last time.....

Dont be scared. Be confident. Or the world will stop travelling. Ask Paul. :)

Ah, to be sure, Albie!

I'll be alright on the way there. It's just the sharp right-hander on the way back. Maybe I'll just get off and walk.... No really, if you're behind me, be prepared to seriously slow down, as the reason I fell off last time was 'cos I was going too fast (and got fixated on the curb as well). You live and learn!

Hope to see you there.

Saz - it wasn't the A339 my petal (the bump on your head must have jiggled your brain) - it was the B3006 from Alton to Liss - at Greatham to be precise...

Well that's alright then. Forget everything I've just said.

Who said I bumped my head? What? Wibble!

Great - then I won't mention that that will be the road we're taking from Petersfield/Liss to Alton then...

(doh!)

Hope to see you there SJ - that's leaving Bury Hill at 8.30am - 8. 30. A. M.

OK, I'm really confused. I posted on here on Sunday night saying I couldn't come, and sent Jen a PM saying the same, but they both seem to have disappeared!

Hope you didn't wait around for me. The machines are taking over!

See y'all soon
