Hi Max et-al,
Just had a chance to get the route sorted for the next Sunday drive, which is attached below for you to print off as desired;
Just click on each image and select download and print off as desired 
NB: I will have one or two spare copies with me on the day but it would help greatly if you could print a copy off for you own use, as my cartridge/ink plan does not give the facility to print too many copies. 
The drive details are;
Start Point: 10:00 onwards. at Costa Coffee, Broadcut,Fareham. PO16 8SU.
Depart: 10:45 prompt
Arrival Time: 12:00 approx depending on traffic on the day
Please reply to this post to confirm your attendance, in order that I can update the venue on our numbers 
Best Regards

Sorry Mal, Elaine & I just knocked out 55 miles on the bikes this morningā¦recovery Guiness at Plough Itchen Abbas - too knackered to ride up the hill to Beauworth!
Crumbs, that is an incredible ride and well done to both of you for completing 55 miles. Iām not surprised you didnāt make it to Beauworth, as itās another 8.5 miles. I think you had both done enough cycling for one day
Best Regards

The two cars that got together yesterday had a lovely time at The Milbury. The weather was nice and sunny, so we sat in the garden opposite where our MX-5ās were parked and had a drink in the sunshine and Geoff Lowe joined us, as he had been to Popham Airfield for the āMotorcycle Mega Meetā and swung by The Milbury in his MX-5 afterwards
Geoff departed and the four present all ordered different meals from the Summer Menu and being sharing platters we could mix and match, as desired. The food was lovely , plentiful and high quality together with being a very different way of presenting food, as opposed to the normal āpub grubā, which is what The Milbury is trying to achieve.
Speaking to Clive (mine host) he said they were still trying their concept out, as they didnt want to be just another pub offering standard pub grub, as anyone can do that and the concept certainly gets a thumbs up from meš The desserts menu was also studied and choices madeš
Time flew, as we were at The Milbury for four hours, chatting and taking in the very relaxed atmosphere. The staff were very attentive and pleasant to chat to and nothing was too much trouble.
Best Regards
Mal
