harriebird if you look at the first page of this post, just follow the directions I gave for the M25 and you'll find it

Merv you up for this one?

Hi Tiny, I live in Crawley and hope to go (weather permitting of course), perhaps meet up somewhere ?

I'll post in this thread soon if I'm going, then go from there.

near Ryka's, is this correct? i may be tempted to pop along if the weather is nice and it's not too windy. might be a bit brave for my first day out on my new boy but i will certainly think about it 8)

Awww.. just get down there. I might even drag "him" down so he can cluck over your new bike. We are supposed to be in Ludlow that weekend, but I have got to get a ride in somewhere. Fingers crossed, then.

ps don't know of any unpleasant turnings at Rykas. CK will know.

Not certain if I can make this one, did anyone get a NIP in the post after the last one and the camera van?

Sorry can not do it this month as my bike is in Cornwall!

jim shea · 04 Mar 08, 10:32 PM

Dave,
Sorry to hear that *$#@*
Where abouts was the van?

CK & AK · 04 Mar 08, 10:51 PM

Harrie - NO nasty turns into Box m'dear.
If you miss the 'tiny slip road' turn off the dual carriageway coming from the north, then its a simple 400 yds on to the roundabout - take the 1st left & then 300 yds up the road & then left into the car park - you will see when you get there as its quite open along there & you WONT be able to miss the bikes!

I'm prob not going to be able to make this one as got to go to bank to draw out spondoolies for new purchase

(not a bike!)

C, rapidly turning into a pikey!!

BaggaZee · 04 Mar 08, 10:51 PM

Should make this one, on the bike this time.

Harrie, as the above said, there are no NASTY turns, but if you do miss the VERY small slip road for the car park (the section of road leading up to it is easy to remember, it goes from 1 lane to 2 for about 3/4 to mile and as you drop downhill and to the right there are the 3,2,1 markers in black and white on the left, so brake inadvance as there is no real turning in late on this slip road), as I said if you do miss the slip road, and take the first exit(which is the one you want), it is quite a sharp left and is a little bumpy and has a small metal drain in the middle to.I think that's why some have said it's a little tricky.

Not looked at this thread for a couple of days so sorry to Tiny & alan yes I shall be making an apperance. Tiny, Montana, how about meeting at the Texaco garage in Horley about 10
Johnrose just follow the signs for Washington & Storrington A283 from the flyover on A27 or drop down onto the A259 ( in other words the seafront ) when you get to the river at Shoreham turn right and follow signs for Washington & Storrington from there. Hope to see eveyone at Boxhill.
