End of September Glos/Oxon informal weekend
We've found a nice campsite near Gloucester, a pub with grass site adjacent, for the Friday and Sat night (31st Sept ~ 1st Oct)
Pub does curries every night incl. veggie curry, and other nice food. Hopefully nice beer too !
Peter (Torchy) may get a chance to pre-recce the Saturday's lanes but this may not be possible.. so trust we'll find some interesting routes, sights and sounds (birdlife of course, what else )
This will be an informal drive out and we have to take the lanes as we find them, some may need a quick pre-recce depending on how many turn up. We are guestimating 9 or 10 vans.
Sunday morn we'll head across Oxford way and do some lanes we know on the way back down to Didcot and end up on the side of the Ridgeway near Dragon Hill, and near the M4 for an easy return East or Westwards.
The ancient sites idea is off the agenda now...
More details nearer the time...)
Oh! About £9 per night in the campsite, £10 for tents
Curries about £6-95 int pub
