This is a regular driving meet from Rickmansworth to Potterspury, near Towcester, usually on the last Sunday of each month. The route is a lovely drive on a mixture of A, B and C-roads, I try to make sure that the pace is dependant on the slowest driver, and we do wait to let folk catch up if necessary. We stick to the 30 and 40 limits through the villages. There is now a Midlands convoy, which meets at High Cross on the A5/Fosse Way at Lutterworth, if people are interested. I have SatNav files and Google Maps links if people want to navigate it solo.To have clear run, we leave early in the morning from Christ Church Chorleywood Car Park. Google Map of Christ Church
It's on the A404 about 1/2 mile from J18 of the M25. The postcode is WD3 5SG. At junction 18, take the A404 exit to Chorleywood/Amersham, past the Shell garage on your right, then past The Gate pub, also on your right. The church is opposite the pub and the entrance to the car park is a sharp left at the end of the churchyard wall.
Our destination is the Super Sausage Cafe, on the A5, just North of Potterspury Google Map of The Super SausageSuper Sausage Website via the A404, A413 with a detour past Chequers to wake Dave with the glorious sound of vtec in the morning, A43 and A5.
We then eat a hearty breakfast (you need cash to pay for this, none of yer fancy plastic taken here) and drive back again.
Time: please aim to arrive at 6.45am so we can set off promptly at 7am. We will leave before 7 if all attendees are present, so please post in this thread if you're attending, or you may get left behind.
Fuel: Please arrive with sufficent fuel for the drive (it's about 65 miles to the Cafe - I usually use just under a quarter of a tank). As mentioned above, there is a Shell garage a couple of hundred yards from our meeting point but be warned that this is sometimes closed for a delivery, so it's best to fill up the night before. There is a BP near to the Cafe, so you can fill up if necessary once we get there.
Weather: If the weather is forecast to be bad, I'll cancel the run by 4pm on the day before. Please check before travelling.
SatNav: I have a TomTom/Garmin file of the route, so PM me your email address if you'd like a copy (established members only). I really want as many folk as possible to use these please, as they make the run a lot safer by removing some of the "keeping up" pressure, so if you have a SatNav, please PM me your email address, type of SatNav and I'll send you the relevant file.
