Myself and Jue would have loved to have come on this but we're already committed this year. If your going to run it again next year we'd love to come down and make a long weekend of it. New forest is beautiful and for us the horses just add to it.
***** UPDATED *****
Please read.
Date is now 10th May 2015 for the drive out around the Forest and for those who want to meet up the night before, a pub meal on the 9th May 2015. I will be finding a few local premises and grab what kind of menu they have to give everybody an idea. Or we could meet up in Lymington and head to the local chip shop.. as always I will go with a majority choice.
I will point out that its a sedate drive around the forest as the speed limit is 40MPH ... but the views and the wildlife make up for it. A route in .pdf is attached to this post.
Looking to start from the Services at Ower, Bottom of the A36 just up from junction 2 of the M27. I will be heading down the old route from Winchester rather than the motorway if anybody wants to meet up and travel down about 09:30am Sainsburys Badger Farm South West of Winchester SO22 4QB. I am looking at a 10am meet up and 10.30am departure from the services at Ower.
Full address is Mc Donalds, West Wellow Service Area (Ower) Southampton SO51 6GF

Hello Saturday evening people. I have been looking into the place to eat for a Saturday. I am looking at either near to Romsey or just slightly further near to Ringwood. To aid in this can I have a quick idea of where some of you will be staying on the Saturday evening please. There are two possibles in Romsey and one suggested by Chris as posted above. The issue with Romsey is that it has some very expensive places and not really a lot of good local food. The Fullers public houses seem ok as there are no places like Weatherspoons etc.
Your thoughts please and also if I have missed anybody for the Saturday evening .. please PM me. Route will appear tomorrow by end of play.
Happy Zed'ing
