how about the guys from the m27 meet us at Dibden Inclosure its on the road just outside of the motor musuem

 

Hi all

Just to catch up

Are some of us going to meet at Rowhams services westbound and then onto Dibden Inclosure? 

It is about a 20 minute drive, leave the M27 at junction 2 and straight down the Hythe bypass road for about 8 miles, at the 7th roundabout turn right into the new forest.

I am happy to meet at Rowhams.

Edd, it is a bit out of your way m8 as you will need to go to Southampton Airport to turn round, Rownhams westbound is best for those coming from the east or north.

Any thoughts?

Hi folk's,  I'm happy which ever way really,  tbh the old DPF needs a good cooking so i'll adjust accordingly . 

It looks like there will be a couple of us there anyway, so the extra few miles will help clean the DPF.

I am Ok for about 7.30 for coffee.

Trust me Paul I looked at all options and thought I'd play it safe! Believe me I looked at alot of places on the web. It's in nursling on the outskirts of Southampton my thinking being if I did have a fault I could hopefully find a garage to sort me out.

Hi All, Just been looking over all the info for meeting up next weekend including meet up locations prior to going to Beaulieu! Just though I'd colate all the info in one place and add some sudestions for timings and point out some info from the Beaulieu website. 

Points to note from the website: Beaulieu - Simply-Audi

VEHICLE ENTRY
Entry with your Audi is from 9.00am – the Brabazon Restaurant will be open for bacon rolls, cakes, teas and coffee.

Please note cars cannot leave and re-enter the grounds for the Simply Rally without a further fee being paid to cover the occupants.

COMING WITH FRIENDS
If you wish to park up alongside your friends, you must all arrive together with individual e-tickets as we are unable to reserve adjacent spaces for later arrivals.

Only 1 e-ticket is produced per order, if you are being joined by friends in separate vehicles, please ensure you make separate orders.

Meet up locations and timings:

Taking into account travelling times between the two meet up locations Rownhams services (West bound) or Dibden Inclosure and the potential for plenty of traffic in and around the surrounding area I think a good plan would be as follows:

1) If meeting up at Rownhams services - 07:00 for some breaky and leave for Dibden Inclosure @ 07:45.
2) Steve Q, Could you suggest a meet up time for anyone meeting you there?
3) Us guys meeting at Rownhams will likely get to Dibden Inclosure @ around 08:15.  (20-30 min to do 9 miles!)
4) All of us leave together for Beaulieu @ 08:40. (only 3 miles away)

Anyone any further thoughts on any of the above?

For Sat Nav:

Rownhams Motorway Services - SO16 8AP
Dibden Inclosure - SO42 7YR
Beaulieu Motor Museum - SO42 7ZN

Rob , thank you for this very comprehensive list . I think timings are pretty much spot on, unless anyone else can see anything that could hinder this. I will see you at Rowhams at 07:00. Cheers all.
