Hey all
Thought i'd pop my head over the parapet and make a thread where people can get in and organise travel to RRG09 without filling the main board/this board with loads of threads.
Big convoys probably arent the best of ideas, but travelling up in groups is probably a good idea, especially with some of the novel rides that are likely to be arriving (sadly not me)
Also will be good for people who are stuck for a lift/needs stuff taking up with them
So to start it off...
Who's travelling up from the Hants area/South?
Tim

OXFORD A34
The sensible choice is A34 then turn right for Andover and keep going, but I suggest taking the A318 over the Downs cos it's a got some corners.

not 100% if we are going yet, depends on the money situation but i am selling some stuff so gonna put the money aside.
would love to convoy down though as 200 miles with a noisy exhaust, no sound proofing and wide tyres is not that much fun, even with a passenger ;D
