Where is the meet point in Basingstoke ? - all being well I'm hoping to come along Monday and Basingstoke would make the most sense for me... Any Berks/Oxon folks out there going down ???

Cheers,

Basigstoke meet point:

"If my memory serves me well there is a car showroom place on the left as you go into Aldermarston Rd South which is on the South side of the roundabout - its a little dual carriage way and on the opposite side is a Shell garage . Plenty of room for meeting up - although last year cos of the bikes we did take the lime light from the Car Showrooms who asked us to politly move on. 4D"

Hope you can make it Pete - I'll try & add a streetmap link later.

:confused:

[CK & AK]

Right, that looks like at least 8 definates for Newlands, and 5 'possibles' so far........working out at 50/50 UKMOC & DSC at present..

Beds/Herts lot looking to be quite a lot so far....

Sussex also now looking busy too.


C :cool:

[Albie]

Does that include me ? :D

[Ruth]

Coooooo-eeeeeee, me and Jue would like to come along. Will there be anybody else meeting here......

2nd Meet point (pick-up only, not waiting: Meet at Stadhampton( BP Services?) @ 9.30 (suggest waiting from 9.15 to be on safe-side). This is before they turn to the left at Shillingford & pick up the A329.

.........or will you at least all be passing by/stopping to re-fuel?

I've never been to Stadhampton, but it looks like the best place for us to meet up with folk. Is the BP station there easy to find? Fingers crossed that there will be lots of friendly monsters for us to ride on with.

Thank yoooooooo

I know how to get to oxford the pretty way, so i thought the stadhampton meeting point would be our best bet. Hope that's ok with the DSC?

Looking forward to it!

[Albie]

Was thinking about coming in from the north maybe via Bucks from my sisters then across to wales then north cornwall then up to popham :eek:

[CK & AK]

Ruth - DSC are nice peeps, so no probs there (as long as riders get out of 1st gear... excepting 999's!! :D )

I'm wondering if they mean the BP garage/services on the A4074 just North of Benson. This is not far from the R/B where this road joins the A329. If it is that one (guess we should try and get some clarification) then coming from Oxford on the A4074 you can't really miss it (left hand side) off of a roundabout.

If the weather is OK and I manage to kick myself out of bed early enough I'll probably try and meet up there rather than in Basingstoke. If it isn't the right garage then I guess I'll have a lonely ride on my own :(

Cheers,

Pete

[Richard_S]

thanks Charlotte ; if P&H finish up on time I'll see you Monday :cool:
