Z1 tour 2011, round 2 (?!)
Z1 tour 2011, round 2 (?!)
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.

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.
