Patrick and Toon are both here already, not long now.

The cruise for Sat is normal route out to the chain ferry from the football club
Pitwines car park in Poole for an hour stop to grab a packed lunch and BBQ stuff, for those meeting on route: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Supermarket+Car+Park/@50.7164599,-1.9796653,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xf6df83b35fb91e29

Out of Poole on the A350/A35 to the Bakers Arms roundabout: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/The+Bakers+Arms/@50.7334866,-2.0655282,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x21da12558b3fcfc9

Left on the A351 to Wareham

Right onto the A352 towards Wool

Left after 1.5KM onto the B3070 to Lulworth

Lulworth Cove for A Picnic and swim for a couple of hours (pay car park £3 for 2 hours)

Route back will be via the viewing point where the wedding party were then over the Purbecks to Corfe Castle, turn right and back into Swanage.

The route involves busy town, fast A roads , a blast on a dual carriage way and tight country roads.  Please make sure you have filled up before we leave but there is a fuel stop on route if needed. 

As normal I have to meet with the committee to take over the site at lunch on Fri so please do not enter the site until we get the say so.

See you all there

Madmatt,
I always go commando! ;-)up
Planning on leaving earlydoors Saturday (7.30ish) to get down to Swanage for ~9.30.
If that suits you, we can meet up on Warminster bypass.
If not see you down there.

Cheers

Starting to have my doubts about coming down due to work and other commitments. So, would anyone going down perhaps have room for a guitar on the way back??

as discussed with some off here, weather looking pants for Friday, all day... >:( >:( >:(..... We are still wanting to come down Friday, but looking at hiring a trailer to bring buggy down and back.

Flags, can we park the trailer in the club car park for the duration, I have a hitch lock thingy. If there is additional financial contribution for this cheeky request, I am happy to pay for the additional parking.

Cheers

Jazzy,

Don`t really want to jump in before Flags gives an official answer, but I know that they generally like to keep the tarmac area clear. However, as you know, there are a few sloping areas under the trees where it is not possible to erect tents, and historically, these have been used by the guys that do bring trailers down. You already know Flags is going to say yes to this, as he is always very accomodating when it comes to this sort of thing, and a few extra coffers in the kitty are what the whole weekend is about, and I doubt would ever be refused.

Doesn`t Flags always bang on about the fact that it never rains on Carnival day   ???


Think he may have to eat his words this year   ;D


Still really looking forward to it though

I remember last year there was a trailer placed just the other side of the tree opposite the entrance to the then West Wing of Early towers   ::) ::)

But I did not want to assume it was okay to repeat that manoever with out getting the nod..... lol
