Re: Fox's Diner Abingdon
 

Philbut and I were out just now, found a good road from Thame to Bicester, which I notice is near Aylesbury. Unfortunately this weekend I have to go to Wales so I can't make it, but any other weekend should be good.

B4011 ??

If you're out that way during the week, drop in to "On Yer Bike", on the A41 West of Aylesbury, then you can make your way to Thame and pick up the A329 down to Fox's...

Good road that.

Fox's sounds good. I'd be up for doing Saturday (provided i can get permission from "er in doors"). On yer bike might be good too, although I always end up nearly buying a bike when i go. Surely i wont miss another 3 grand..... well may be not, I can always dream! :rolleyes:

Fox's is pretty easy to find from Norf London. Just get onto the M25 and head west, then onto the M40 - A40. At oxford follow the ring road South (you'll know you're going the right way if you go past the big BMW factory where all the minis are born) until you reach Sainsburys . Its next to a big island. Take a left towards Reading an you'll find Fox's a few miles down that road.

PS watch out for the gravel - warthog knows what I mean, that could have been messy!

Yeah the B4011, that was it! Awesome road (I think, I was blindly following Phil :) ). My mate with a large Guzzi lives in Greater Hasely just off the A329, he would be up for things in the future. As Phil said as a word of warning, the A4074 from Fox's to Shillingford has been ripped up and is 100% gravel; bit of a shock after flying past Fox's!

That's blasphemy that is....

Right... Try this, it's easy peasy....

• M40 to J2
• Turn North (right) onto A355, follow along dual carriage way and left at roundabout towards Beaconsfield
• Keep in the right hand lane and follow the signs for Amersham
• Right at the mini roundabout and follow until you reach the roundabout at the bottom of the hill
• Turn left (A413) then right at the next roundabout and follow to Aylesbury.

• In Aylesbury follow signs "A418" & "Thame"
• Keep on 418 through Thame until you reach the A329
• Just stay on the 329, over the M40
• Watch the bit by the petrol station, the road naturally goes right, but the 329 goes left
• Stay on that road and it brings you to the A4074 at Shillingford.
• Turn right up to Fox's....

That's far better than your route..... (But you can access the 329 from J7 of the M40)

The A329 is pretty twisty in places, a couple of the right handers tighten up on you.

There is a lay by just off of J2 of the M40, on the 355. I can meet you there if you want, about 10am ??
