The route will encompass Bently, Odiham, Liss, Alton, Liphook, Midhurst, Lurgashall, they may not be in that order it all depends on the inbuilt satnav, covering 70 miles or so on a wide mix of roads with nothing too challenging so suitable for all, pace and the marking system allow for all abilities.
followed with a pub meal about 20 miles short of Guildford so not too long a run back.

Calendar has all the details, just remember 6.30 is the start time not get there time.

Good weather has been arranged.

I am planning to leave at 18:30 with a short briefing just prior to our departure. Please ensure you arrive with a full tank or enough fuel for around 80 miles.

Pace will be adjusted to suit the conditions - I may alter the route as last night parts of the route were under 4" of water. Please give me a call or text on 07976 364848 to let me know you are coming or if you need any further information.

Run will go ahead rain or shine!!


Regards,

PS if anyone fancies taking on either the 1st or 3rd Fridays these are a good intro to leading a run.]]> Wed, 11 Apr 2012 19:51:43 +0200 http://www.wvam.org.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=5741 http://www.wvam.org.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=5139
So, in the interests of democracy I am throwing it open. For those who think they can make it I am thinking that maybe, just maybe, one last, 2011 valedictory run to the coast is called for. Maybe the Regency or Donatello's at Brighton - maybe for popularity's sake, a piscine extravaganza at the Fish Factory in Worthing. (Not Eastbourne - it's maybe a tad too far in what will mostly be twilight and dark.) My aim to be at the coast somewhere between 8.30-9.00 and back on the road home at say 10.00-10.30 at the absolute latest. Unless the group thinks otherwise.

On the other hand we could do another Surrey-ish based one. Regardless, our CBT-simulation group will be setting off from Reigate Hill at 7.00.

I am going to be otherwise engaged and very busy, focussing on other things over the next 48 hours, so I am willing to go with the majority, if anyone cares to cast a vote or make a suggestion by posting on here.

Any road up (as we say oop Noorth), I'll tally up any responses, make a decision and post a destination here by say, 10.00-ish on Wednesday evening.

The forecast is reasonable so far, but it may be worth trying out the thermals, winter gloves and heated grips. Whatever the state of the weather, I'll be there in any case. And of course as far as headlights are concerned mine were far too weedy for the dark and dim back lanes of Nether Shere and Upper Leith Hill recently, so we won't be going there again for a while...

Thoughts and preferences anybody? Over to you...



p.s. Run pace and types of road will be adjusted to suit the overall comfort, wishes and capabilities of the group as far as is humanly possible. So that includes any newcomers and associates. If you haven't tried it before, now's your chance. We're a happy, helpful and friendly little bunch. ]]> Tue, 20 Sep 2011 00:30:06 +0200 http://www.wvam.org.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=5139 http://www.wvam.org.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=4984

I appear to have broken my toe ( it really hurt - don't ask) and cannot presently get a motorcycle boot on properly. Unless the swelling has diminished quite a bit by Friday, I will be unable to lead.

Please post here if you are coming this evening even if it is still raining. Need say 5 people to make it worthwhile getting soaked / catching a cold / getting bike covered in mud etc. This would make it my third soaking this week and I am wondering where summer has gone.

In absence of 5 confirmed runners here by 6pm ride will not be going ahead with me at the helm and I will stay in my warm and dry office.

All members and associates welcome.

Should be back in Guildford area by 10.30pm at the latest.

Adrian]]> Wed, 29 Jun 2011 17:25:27 +0200 http://www.wvam.org.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=4867 http://www.wvam.org.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=4853 For those not on the French trip, and in spite of Adrians absence this Fridays run is still on.

Usual time 6.30 at Newlands Corner, pace will be to suit whoever turns up.

The route not finalised yet but plan to finish at the six bells in billingshurst about 8.45, so back about 10.15.
