Drive-it Day - Rude Place Names Tour

30th April

Fancy a drive to Balls Cross, Hurtmore Bottom and Willey Green? Perhaps we'll have a spot of lunch at the Blue Bell Cocking, followed by a flowing drive past Stoner Hill to Farleigh Wallop? Join us on the 30th April for a bit of a drive and a laugh. Don't forget to buy your commemorative rally plate from the website above in support of Childline.

Please let me know if you're interested and whether you want to be included on the table at the pub by adding your name to this thread. The route is here - click this link for a zoomable view: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/edit? ... sp=sharing

Yes - I can't do the 24th, so I've made the authoritarian decision to move it a week!

Subject to weather, I'm interested (unlikely hard top finished by then).

Glad to hear you chaps might be able to come. I just noticed that one of our local members lives in Woodcock Bottom, so I'm wondering if I can work the route so it goes via there.

Only a few weeks to go! Bumping this to the top just to see if we can get a few more takers. I am trying to finalise the route a bit this week, so keep an eye on the map link above which may change. Not sure Cock-a-Dobby is worth driving to since it is only a cul-de-sac in Sandhurst, but it does make me laugh.
