Just wondering if there is a meet in Bristol/Yate area to drive up to Cross Hands Pub where I believe everyone is meeting before converging on Castle Coombe or do I make my own way to Cross Hands and get called a billy no mates as I pull into car park in a one car convoy. Cheers Martin

The Devon/Cornwall lot are meeting at Gordano services at about 7.40am, I believe some of the Bristol lads are going to meet us there. We will then convoy up to the Crosshands.

MartG

I take it you'll be coming up to M5/M4 interchange at about 8.00-8.15 then,could always tag on end when you all come past,should hear you approaching!! Might even drop down to Gordano for 7.40 meself yet,Cheers Martin

There was also a mention of some Yate lot having brekkie in a cafe in Yate somewhere, don't know if they are still going ahead with it.

I will bring this thread to their attention.

Cheers

Cheers Tracey,my good lady seems to like the sound of brekkie,one less thing to sort before leaving.Just hope its still happening and I find out where it is. Martin

SUTTS

Also think B'fast is a good idea especially for those of us setting off at 6 from Plymouth, have to sort something

Tracey

MartG,

I have asked the Yate massive leader of brekkie to let you know, he said he will try and post it up later. He is going to speak to cafe owner later to see if they will open up at 7 am to cater for you all, thats providing he gets enough interest.

Will keep you posted.

Cheers

Tracey

MartG

Thanks,will keep checking on here

Tracey

ok, we are just trying to rally up the locals, to see who wants this.

Maybe have a better idea tomorrow, as they are a bit slow on responding (they need a kick up the ****).

Cheers

Tracey

Hello,

Just spoke to the owner of the cafe, and he'll open at 7 am for us. Just turn up when your ready and we'll have a convoy from there to the Cross hands.

Right then all I need to do now is provide a map to the cafe. It's really close to the Cross Hands (about 5 mins drive) so in an idea position.

Thanks Phill

Tracey

That was quick, well done Phill

babber

Yeah Tracey, but the map is **** really I can't capture the whole map as it would make so much more sense....

Has anyone got a decent online map I can get the maps from ?

Phill

PS Breakfast group buy anyone ?

Tracey

Yeah it's not quite how it looks in real life but never mind.

At least you have told them to take a left by the memorial, then it goes up round a little back street doesn't it.

If they go past the Portcullis, then they have gone wrong.

babber

Right then, the cafe is the red dot on the map below, on Chipping Edge Indusrial estate, just before the Ford garage.

If you drive up Chipping Sodbury high street and go left around the war memorial and sharp right it's 50 yards on the left. There is a car park on the trading estate, and we should be able to get 20 plus cars parked that time in the morning



I'll be there and will take everyone from there to the Cross Hands

Phill

PS this map is ****, as it almost shows the high street going straight on, and there no war memorial
