Winchester Breakfast run.

[Nick172Cup]

I won't be tailgating on this run. Hopefully everyone will allow at least 3 or 4 car lengths, no silly overtaking and finally have a fun drive

This pretty much. Would saying if your slightly slower than the person behind you, allow them to overtake maybe? Does that sound fair?

Yes Nick that sounds fair. After the Morestead to Corhampton section (Quite tricky in places) we'll stop, anyone not happy, can change position safely.

Good stuff Matt. Do you want to leave you car at mine?

Yeah, you'd be in a hedge if you tried to overtake on that section! What's the rest of the roads like?

IMO the section between stockbridge and wherwell, is as good as the route between morestead and corhampton.

 

[edewer]

only sketchy bit is the bitafter you leave Stockbridge and have a humpback section on a corner! will slow down for it this time!

[billybigspud]

[SammyT]

Lol 2 hours 11 mins! the route looks nice fletch, drive these roads quite a bit.

lol. Well it's more the drop and camber then actual sharp corner, I've not had any probs with it since fitting the coilovers TBH.

lol.. well we did the route the other day in under 1.5 hours.

 

[edewer]

i reckon factoring in a few stops, and maybe the odd photo opp on said stops we will prob hit about 2 hours though to be honest. SD card on the way, so definitely doing a little videoing on the run!

[Fletcher]

^^^ok mate, I'm sure this won't be the last breakfast run.

 

[Fletcher]

Right Guys, just a recap.

I've just highlighted the printed route maps.

Meeting at 6.40-45am at Tesco Winnall, leaving at 7.05am on the dot!

And finishing at the Chesil street car park Winchester.

No overtaking (unless waved by) keep indicators going after a overtake to let cars know if it was safe to pass...etc

No tailgatting

The last thing we want tomorrow is accident, so please drive sensibly guys
