OK you may have a point and on that barge of yours with those tin biscuit boxes on the back...

We could try some green lanes to get there, how slick are your tyres on the GSXR?

Option 1: A3 > Petersfield, A272 > A24

Option 2: A27 > Chichester, A285 > Petworth, A272 > A24

Option 3: A27 > Chichester, A29 (bit straight), A24

I was thinking option two... but up the A29 rather then the A24.

I said I hate planning routes, but here it is - LINK - as there is alot of us now, its nice to know.

I'm more then happy to carry on to the A24 though, or we could just play it by ear. If it rains I'm not sure I want to spend to much time on back roads.

Looks good Grinchy...

Some suggestions for those planning to meet at Box Hill.

Those coming from the west there's several options, here's a couple:

1. Pick up the A272 at Winchester, go straight through to the A24.
2. A303 > M3 > A31 > Guildford and then take the A246 to the A24 (Southbound).

South Wales/Bristol Crew - How about A420 > Chippenham, A4 > Newbury, A339 > Basingstoke, A30 > A287 > A31 > Guildford then as above. Or there's the M4 > A329/A322 > M3 > M25 J9 > A243 > A24

Just some ideas - A272 is worth it if you can. Loomies is on the A32/A272 junction.

Box Hill is on the A24 at the r/about just north of Dorking. Look for Westhumble on Google Maps. Approaching from the north there's a short slipway before the r/about straight into the carpark. From the south take a right at the r/about.

Aim to meet at 1:30 ????

sounds better than the M3 and A3, should imagine a long line of bikes would make the pound signs appear in the skoda's and veccy's lurking up there
