Dash for the Coast: 26-07-2009

[JonSpiderMan]

Here we go folks as requested. It's an early start from Ockham but we've got a few stops to make and I want to be able to make the Sussex Brewery by lunchtime, plus the earlier we start the clearer the roads will be.

I've put the sussex brewery en route rather than after West wittering as looking at their website they only serve food til 2.30pm so probably best to do that first. then some nice pics by the seaside afterwards

[Marko Le Rosso]

Jon, I'd make the meet at the services at Petersfield. It was the initial start point on my map I think. Maccie D's car park, easy to find off the roundabout for the A3 / A272.

Well I'm off work that weekend, so it is a possibility that I may come along to play.
However, and it's a biggun (ooo-re), I shall have to consult the All-knowing-one, to see if we have plans that I am not aware of yet !

[Smallville]

Well im a maybe, I hope to make this

[MPH]

See you at the start! Will the run use more than £5 of super unleaded?

[JonSpiderMan]

Yes

I'll be using more than £5 just to get there fella, so my best guess is yes

[MPH]

Will bring my dog lead seeing as though we are meeting at Ockham

Not a problem Martin, the money for the sills will cover my cost of petrol I hope

I wasn't going to give you that much I know the way you drive.........

[celadon]

Well I have got my pass for the day, so count me in for this one !!

[Marko Le Rosso]

Because of the weather yesterday, and not being able to work in the garden, I did Petersfield to West Wittering. Great roads!! Took just about 1 hour 30 minutes.

Mark did you follow the route or did you find some other roads as well?

[Marko Le Rosso]

I think I followed it pretty much!

I did cut through from A286 to B2141 by going through Binderton, it was not sign posted, but the satnav took me through there. On, the first bit of the 2141, there is some lovely new tarmac, really smooth .


I had to use way points on my Garmin, so I added a few extra points from your map.

[JonSpiderMan]

As I've just found out I have to give the spider back in October It's only fair I get good use out of it

Modified Route,

from:Old Ln to:Ockham Ln to:Ripley Rd to:Ranmore Common Rd to:A29/Bognor Rd to:B2127/The St tounsfold Common Rd to:High Street Green to:A286/Bell Rd to:A286 to:51.008354,-0.839424 to:A272 to:A272 to:A285 to:Unknown road to:B2141 to:Unknown road to:

I ran the centre bit on the way up from goodwood the other day and decided there were some dodgy surfaces, too many towns and not enough NSL! So here's the new route, I haven't changed the bit from petersfield only to Emsworth just added a few roads at the start of the run including the fantastic ranmore common road and the forest green sections which are both crackers.

[JonSpiderMan]

I'm going to give the sussex brewery a ring and book a table for about 1.15pm which gives us four hours to get there to allow for stop offs at Petersfield and Goodwood.

Can everyone who is having lunch just add "lunch" to their RSVP Please and it'll give me an idea of numbers.

[JonSpiderMan]

Ah good the threads back. thanks mr jeff

Have worked out timings now so have updated the event.. will publish the route in a bit

[Smallville]

Is it the same carpark as the one used for the Gatwick meet? that I somehow got lost getting to

[JonSpiderMan]

Well it's not in sevenoaks this time Are you sure didn't put the Kent run.itn in by mistake last time round

Anyway the meet point is at the top of the event page, it's the car park off the A3 turning.. the itinerary file will take you straight to it.

[alfaholic]

Might have to meet at Goodwood, same place as last time Jon?

[Marko Le Rosso]

We all booked in at the sussex John? I'm looking forward to a dash to Petersfield, then down to West Wittering.
