Are you a member of Basingstoke & Hampshire Scoobies on Facebook Fumbduck? If so maybe we could organise it on there instead and have a local meet?

Good stuff, I'll post a message to the group later tonight. No one seems to organise anything in that group though!

That's a shame I went through it a couple of weekends ago for the first time and it was awesome! Just be weary of the average speed cameras at either end
