Re: Flat 4 Drive/Weekend?

I was thinking starting/ending somewhere in the M5/M4/A40 (or M4) triangle? Is that vague enough?

How about starting/finishing at Stow On The Wold? We can try to meet in the Market Square but if not there is a free car park of the Fosse Way.

I was initially thinking maybe Chipping Campden but thought that parking would be an interest.

The Route

I starting to fill in the dots. Please contact me with ideas. I only know bits of the Cotswolds/Mavern Hills

Start : Stow on the Wold : http://www.newenglandcoffeehouse.co.uk/ : 10am Meet? : leave when everybody gets there

Visit The Mavern Hills
Some other places

Finish : The Plough Inn (near Ford) : Optional Meal / Drink / Go Home. Mrs B and I have eaten here and it's one of the best pub meals I've had. Let me know if you are interested and I will book a table.

Search for a B & B, you'll find something far better. It's a very beautiful part of the World.

The time is flexible because others may have the same thought about the early start.

However, as said there are quite a few options

Hi Neil. I may be up for this in my 356. Initially I thought you were only inviting 912's/914's.
Can you add me to the list?

If that were the case I would have to exclude myself from the list as my 912 is in bits. We have a possible 11.

Cheers Timo, so start and finish point are a stone throw from each other. Think it would be good to finish with some grub Neil, are we letting our other half's come or boys only?
