What sort of speeds are we talking about? If Foxy and I were to join you, I think the average speed might be a bit slower than you would be expecting.

Steady speeds Stig - I for one want to get to the AR in one piece.

Currently considering Stretchies route suggestion. It would mean our entire route will be something like THIS with three stops in total. Will

If we chose to join you, it'd be from the Motorway services. :). Discussed it with Lisa, and she's still thinking about it. :).

No problem - We'll be stopping at the Leigh Delamere Services (M4) for our main break regardless - apx 11 - 11:30am. If you're there, you're more than welcome to join. The pace will be steady from there as we don't know the roads/route. I imagine the first half will be a little quicker.

Also, we'll consider a marking system (with a lead, TEC etc) if the group size increases.

Drop me a PM when the decision has been made and I'll forward my contact details.

Guys, the B4235 road on that route, going from Chepstow towards Abergavenny is amazing. One of my favourite roads. There are a few bends on it that tighten up and but they are well marked with chevrons.

You're going to love it, whether you do it quickly or slowly. Actually...if you go back that way, you'll probably love it more....I'm not very fast on that road going towards Abergavenny, but on the way back I can fly along it....Squirrel-Hunter is the same.

:D - Sounds good.

I think we'll be taking this route and adding a stop at Severn View Services, J1 M48 to collect folk coming up the M5.
