M3 joins the M25 and every motorway the joins onto there (South East, Kent, Essex, London, East of the country & North as well)
A303/A30 goes right down to Cornwall (South, South West
So i think the transport links were great, more the lack of interest from people needs to be addressed.
LOM2 made a trip down from Newcastle to join us & Lenny came from MK. The rest of us were probably within an hour or 2 of the location.
Many people are happy to moan about it but not actually get up and put something together. The reason we put a bid on for this year was because no one else had. We took it upon ourselves to continue a tradition this forum has had going on for years.

I made the trip north to last years AR, and I'm glad I did, despite it being nearly an 800 mile trip including the rideout. A lot of people moaned about it being so far North, but it was well attended.
This year circumstances just meant that I couldn't attend & I'm sure that's the case for a lot of us, certainly in the EAR.
Your location for me was fine, just the timing, which will always be the case for the numbers that attend.
At least we had an AR this year, so thanks for Organising it, whatever the turnout
