Trip down will be boring M/ways, with some picks up I hope.

Joec is going to sort a route out for the trip back which will be much more fun, as always.

Not having attended the Wootton Bassett ride before, what happens after the procession has started and you have ridden through Wootton? Do you then just do your own thing or are you directed to anywhere in particular to congregate?

A simple one to answer, ride through Wootton and turn right at the end of the High Street, from that moment you make your own way back.

So we may need a point to all meet up, so we can all ride back as one as we may get split up.

Thanks for that.
Route plans are underway (in TomTom format!)

Hi all,

Firstly happy new year!

Three more tossers are joining you, think there may be some PM's but unsure of who Dean has PM'd

Graeme, I live in Horsham so I could meet you at Crawley on route up then

we'll pick up our third somewhere near JN10 M25.

Were in the slot after you but it would be good to go up in a bit of a group!!
