AR09 - The unofficial official who is going from Hampshire thread

[mattSV]

So then, on the basis that the mofos/taffia/soho massive/guildford posse etc will be organising themselves, thought it was about time we made some plans......

I think MrsMatt will be driving up which means I can ride up with anyone else who is going up on Friday :cheers::cheers::cheers:

Thinking of leaving late morning/lunchtime, probably just do motorways on the way up to get there asap, set up camp and have a beer or six.

Who else is going???

[hovis]

is there anyone else in Hampshire ?

[Frank]

wideboy.chompy and isnt his royal Grinchness from there abouts

[hovis]

oh, i though grinch chompy were more london ish

anywhos, i will be going friday afternoon,

[Wideboy]

im not sure what im doing yet, will be last minute again as usual lol

[the_lone_wolf]

I'll be heading up on the friday at some point, if the weather is pleasant i might take the day off work and take some time, might just take the afternoon, will have to look closer to the time...

don't mind what boat i take so could start out from lymington, southampton or portsmouth...

[Wideboy]

i will be departing on the Friday morning probably and be motorway'ing it up

[RichT]

I'll be heading up on the Friday, but was thinking of a cross country route. Something like A32, A272, A22 or A26, A21, M25 etc.

Too far off to be certain yet.

Some cracking roads there Rich - I have done that route a few times up to Brands, however it seems to take for ever :rolleyes: the twisties are great, just a bit of a PIA going through some of the towns.

Although I originally said motoway all the way, it will probably be A32/ A272 then pick up the A3 on to the M25......

me too, something like that, but not sure of timings etc, as we may be taking a car as well

[RichT]

Yeah will definately take a bit longer for sure, but the twisties will be worth it. Was thinking of getting there for 4ish.

[Wideboy]

don't forget to include stoppage time for beers

[chompy]

[Scoobs]

I'm in Matt. Well not actually IN Matt, but you know what I mean.

[tigersaw]

You might not need a tent if we take the mansion..

[the_lone_wolf]

You might not need a tent if we take the mansion..

haha, i bought this tent for AR07 and never went in the end, so it'd be nice to see what it looks like:mrgreen:

[RichT]

I'm trying to talk the other half into taking the car, but she's not having it atm.

Was thinking (for a small fee) she could ferry some kit to and from the AR so that we could ride up sans luggage etc.

Don't get too excited, she currently wants to go pillion and she's only got a Clio.

We'll organise something Chompy. I suspect there will be a couple of groups (cross country and m'way), so probably a couple of meeting points as well.

Suggest Loomies as a starting point (A32/A272 junction) for those going cross country and west of Pompey. Perhaps McDonalds car park (A272/A3 junction) for those Pompey side of the A32??? Time TBD...

Just some early suggestions peep's...
