Very descriptive Iain.

Dan, go to Google, select the maps page, and click directions.
You can put in your postcode, and BA22 7JE (McDonalds), and it'll tell you where to go.
This is abbreviated by me, I put in Oxford as a start.

A34
Exit for Andover/Basingstoke/A303/Salisbury/A343/Bullington/Sutton Scotney/S.Wonston/Stockbridge/A30
At the roundabout, take the 1st exit
A303
Go through 2 roundabouts
At Hazelgrove Roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto A359 heading to Queen Camel/Marston Magna
Turn left
Turn left

Cheers Nathan.
Just going by Google Maps I'm afraid, that's what it told me. Haven't actually been there before, probably been through it though...

Post Mon Jul 14, 2008 7:38 pm

anyone got hold of jackie to let her know wnat time ect

Post Mon Jul 14, 2008 8:04 pm

Been chatting with Jackie, but not mentioned times yet. Will let her know. No major problem if she needs to turn up a bit later I guess... I'll see what the state of play is.
Cheers Dave.

Hi - I've been watching - so will be at Macdonalds, Sparkford, at 8.30.

We will go across country from here to Amesbury, A303.

Got to rush buy some new tyres for the car as the front ones are cracked and Terry worried about it. Car's looking great, bit more polishing to make it even better.

See you there Jackie

ps Gordon - if you could let me have your mobile number, just in case we have any problems (sorry, I know you've given it to me before but......)

Post Tue Jul 15, 2008 7:15 pm

Jackie, you have PM.

There's a nice road to Sherborne, a b road, if you hang a left in Marston Magna. Good fun for the brave!

Post Tue Jul 15, 2008 8:29 pm

Post Tue Jul 15, 2008 9:15 pm

Post Tue Jul 15, 2008 9:23 pm

Break lights? Sounds expensive. Or do you mean brake lights?

Excellent. Can your dad clean my car too this weekend please?

Post Tue Jul 15, 2008 11:08 pm

Nathan, my number's still the same mate.

Dan, makes me feel better if your dad charges you too. Nice work though, turning up at Bimmerfest, you go and have a look around and enjoy yourself, while your dad polishes your car.

Dave, Nice mate, as Dan's dad is going to charge me, any chance of you doing my turd?

Aw, come on, I'm going to have a gazebo and banners to get people to help me put up...

Post Wed Jul 16, 2008 8:55 am

Post Wed Jul 16, 2008 7:09 pm

Dont worry guys, just being lazy, I should get time to sort it Saturday unless it rains...

...at which point, I don't care and it goes dirty.

Post Thu Jul 17, 2008 7:30 am

Just you and me meeting at Rownhams then Wayne ?

Post Thu Jul 17, 2008 3:04 pm

Look's like it. See you at 7.00

Post Thu Jul 17, 2008 5:25 pm

adit not joining you then at rownhams ian will be waiting just past macs at ower for you say 7.10am ok mate

Post Thu Jul 17, 2008 8:50 pm

Not sure who/how many I am taking so Adit is gonna ring Wayne.

If I end up with no passengers then I will pick him up from Maccyds in Cosham and then meet Wayne as planned,

Post Fri Jul 18, 2008 9:46 pm

Iain, looking at the map, there's not much point me meeting you at Sparkford mate, it means me going about 10 miles too far north, to meet up and head 10 miles south again.

Would be far quicker and easier for me to meet you at Sherborne Castle itself at about 9. I guess it will take you about half hour to round everyone up and get south to the castle...

Will still bring the gazebo.

:?:Where's it going next by the way? I won't be going to Gaydon, if that's your next destination for it...

(no problem with the CC by the way, just double booked...

)

Post Fri Jul 18, 2008 9:56 pm

What time you anoraks getting there?

Post Fri Jul 18, 2008 9:57 pm

leaving totton at7

Post Fri Jul 18, 2008 10:13 pm

He said 'getting there' not 'leaving home'...

I'll probably get there about 9. The meet is at Sparkford at 830, about 9 miles north of the Castle if that helps Nathan.
