Could be up for this... Breakfast at Calcot and a drive out (partners could stay for a spa session if they wish)

Mmm I could be tempted, however I don't currently have a Maserati.
But all that is going to change because I'm buying Paul's (Panicracing) exceptional Gransport next weekend :D

So to get this off the ground and before the snow arrives.
Sunday 30th Sept.

As Mark and I are close suggest commence from mine at North Nibley (Coffee and comfort break available for those travelling a distance)
To Kemble airfield - break
Run up the Foss to the Slaughters for lunch
Back to the start taking a circular route round the Cotswolds.

Of course people can join/leave at any time on the route and I will firm up times and lay points over the coming days.

Brilliant. I'm in!

Although if we are going for a run after AV8, I thoroughly recommend the B4425 toward Burford rather than the Fosse Way toward Northleach. Or maybe we just do the Ciren, Northleach, Burford triangle one direction or the other. Not sure about good roads north of the A40.

Hi all,
I bought my first ever Maserati (3200gt) this week and would defiantly be up for meeting some of you on the 30th at Kemble airfield (assuming the motor makes it back to mine from Manchester when I pick her up on Friday...)!
I'll put a note in my diary now...

Me too - if I'm fit enough to get and sit in the car - Rob will be driving (I'm slowly recovering from a spinal operation, and the date could be a bit ambitious)

Ok then looks like a few of us.

Mine at 09:00
Kemble for 10:00
Lunch at say 12:30 could I suggest the Victoria Inn at Eastleach?
Then return

Informal so people can join/leave at any time along the route.

Mark, could you 'map' that route departing from GL127PD.

Thanks.

Looks good... let's see numbers before I book lunch.

Reserve lunch point in Colne St Martin at the Royal Oak.
