Guest Budz86 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I'm easy with the route, Brighton would be fun but as said will probably be packed so little chance of staying together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB B Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Shit, just got up to find its been raining here In the Portsmouth area, I've just checked the weather and it should be ok for the rest of the day, typical though isn't it, three weeks of great sun then it has to rian last night. Question is, do I bother to dry it and hope the roads dry up, or have a big fry up for brekie. See you in a few hours. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Anybody got any views or comments on the route? I like to see how people find the route in case we decide to use some or all of it again. In particular the end point near Gosport but also Goodwood and any other bits you made it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2JG Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I think the route worked pretty well. Leaving out Brighton was a good move as we could have easily spent close on an hour sitting in traffic just trying to get through, plus it meant we weren't rushed trying to get to our other destinations. I liked the final stop in Gosport, plenty of parking, nice cafe and views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In particular the end point near Gosport but also Goodwood and any other bits you made it to. The route was rather nice, lots of open road for videos and picture taking although the way we went incorporated a fair few roundabouts, not too convenient for convoys as people do ten to get left behind. Goodwood was a nice stopping point, gave us a chance to sit back and welcome all the people who joined along the way and also have a break. The end part by the sea in Gosport was great, lots of parking available and great scenery. Myself and a few others grabbed a bite to eat in the cafe, which was reasonably priced. It would have to be a nice day out to make the most of Gosport though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I thought the route was a good one. Plenty of different road types, although as Fitz said, there were lot's of roundabouts on the A27 round Chichester I think which made it difficult to stay together. The final stop in Stoke Bay was a good choice. Plenty of parking and right by the sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Route was good - a decent mix of roads and decent car parks at all the stopping places. The car park at Gosport felt like it was a fair way off the main roads, but it was a good size, excellent views and the cafe is handy to have. All in all I'd happily repeat that route or use some of it in a future meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallshinyant Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 great route. probably would of helped if i went the right way out of gosport, but somehow ended up back with the right group :\ Now if only there was a way to incorporate thehairpin from the run to sumo.
