Got a tomtom map by any chance?

JonSpiderMan · #4 (**Post Link**) 12-07-10

Yep I'll be providing route maps shortly and TomTom files once I've finished fine tuning them.

Only a week to go Jon , where's the route ?????????????

Need to know how long (approx) this run is going to take.

I believe it's about 150 miles, but I doubt we'll be done long -- if at all -- before midday

JonSpiderMan · #7 (**Post Link**) 19-07-10

Just edited it up, I'll be sending it out via e-mail this time to those who have RSVP'd, I will divulge the meet point though which is the Car Park on the A24 - Leatherhead Bypass

That implies that we won't make fun of you if you do go

(Good to have you with us, Lee

I guess it would be rude not to, just not looking forward to the 60 mile drive to the start point.

Mr Dog · #16 (**Post Link**) 19-07-10

Yes, it would be rude.

only 101 mile venture down the road and round the corner to start point

I meant that it would be rude not to come on one of the few Alfaowner runs organised by Jon especially when he always catches me on the Pistonheads runs, although you guys did miss a great run to the coast recently.

I meant that too.

Jon did ask if we wanted to join him on the PH run, but both Cas and I weren't about for that one.
Was it busy?

I will try to make more of the AlfaOwner ones but I always seem to be busy whenever they come up.

Yes it was busy but the route to Portsmouth was much better than the Surrey one but I knew it would be as I've been on it before, I think Jon has used it too in the past when he did the "Dash to the Coast" run.

Yeah it is a great route, I will be using some of the roads that was used for the Dash to the Coast as the ones around goodwood are too good to be ignored although I have got rid of that dip that everyone grounded out on last time.

I've cut out a lot of the back roads as the surfaces are bloody awful at the start, Also I've used mainly A and B roads rather thean lanes hence changing the start point to leatherhead instead of Ockham, and added in some new roads and a run through a tunnel as well, All I will say is we will end up on the coast somewhere

the routes around 140 odd miles and will be done by about 11.30ish, although more will be revealed when I send the route and TomTom files out by e-mail.
