The Cuckoo Run

Here goes, to run this event as agreed a bit later in the year.

The Cuckoo Run

Sunday 20th June Petersfield to Milford On Sea. Jim came up with part of this route, I added the Petersfield part.

This is a bit shorter than the March Hare. Nevertheless this is a good run across Salisbury Plain through the New Forest to the coast. We’ll head back north to end our run for a social and lunch. The route will take us from Petersfield – Stockbridge – Amesbury – West Lavington – Lyndhurst - Milford On Sea. From here we’ll head north again and find somewhere to have lunch, The initial run is about 120 miles.
The question is, can you work out why I’ve called it the Cuckoo run?

We’ll be meeting at the services in Petersfield, where the A3 and A272 cross form 6:45, to leave at 7:00.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++

Update. I have slightly modified the route once past Sailsbury going to Milford On Sea. The original route took us through Lyndhurst. We will now be bypassing Lyndhurst, and going through the heart of the New Forest. Whilst these roads are 40 speed limits, I'm concerned there might be some traffic in Lyndhurst. Call it local knowledge

The new ROUTE

Coolio! We should be there from 7:35 - 7:45. If you park in the High Street we should pick you up easily.

What time do we anticipate getting back? How long does this run take including lunch?

Still debating whether to come - my car is running really rich and using loads of fuel - Mecali near Gatwick is tuning it up next week you see.

We should be at Milford on Sea by 11:15. Depending on traffic and if we stop. What we do from there is up to the group, as I've not planned anything. On the March Hare run we had a good laugh on our unplanned route back

An unplanned route back via a pub lunch sounds good.

Looking forward to it

I will meet up at the next planned runabout - (Promise) My sud will be tuned up by then and my spoil and grill will be back on to.
