Z1 tour 2011, round 2 (?!)

Post by felix »

Dear all,

In the 2011 tour thanks thread I put up a rough draft of an idea for a tour for 2012 and Jetski, who must have recovered from his previous acheievements :), suggested we do it this year.

My draft is:

"ow about New Forest, Salisbury Plain, Somerset and Dorset? Had a play with google maps and sketched the following:

Day 1
Meet at Solstice Services on the A303 not far from Stonehenge, 09:00, plan to leave at 09:30
Lunch stop is Lyme Regis. Route is here

Leave lunch venue at 15:00 and drive to Rhinefield House hotel (part of same group as Ettington House 2 years ago).
83 miles in 2:45
Route is here

Arrive at hotel at 18:00. http://www.handpickedhotels.co.uk/hotel ... eld-house/

Day 2
Drive from the hotel to The Bush Inn for lunch – see http://www.thebushinn.co.uk/home.php

Route

68 miles, 2 hours

All thrown together without completely thinking it through"

So... let's see how much appetite there is for another tour. Assuming you're interested please answer the following questions:

1. What weekends in August or September would suit you?
2. Would you want to do the 2 day version or just a one day tour - starting at say 10:00 AM and finishing at 17:00?

Responses by 31 July please - I'll then tally up the answers and see what we can do and what's available in terms of bookings.

If you want people to come to the island, it should be a 2 day tour. That said, I will not know my agenda for September before late August - but will try hard to make it :P :wink:

I'm interested but Rhinefield House appears to have 'no availability' on the nights of both 3 and 10 Sept.

Felix,
We have a busy weekend schedule in August and September so will not be able to attend.
Well done it looks like a good route.

Umm, nothing. Lack of attention on my part combined with... never mind.

It would appear the overnight version is less popular than the one day version. So a show of hands please for the following dates:

Saturday 24 Sept
Sunday 25 Sept
Saturday 1 Oct
Sunday 2 Oct

We'll go with the day that gets the most votes. If the route goes down well we can put it into the hat for the 2012 tour.
