Plenty of places to stop off as you see fit - no agenda if you want to do your own thing
Hope to see you along the way

Quite a few people have told me or Brian that they're coming along on sunday but if you could add your names on here we would know who to expect on sunday morning
Thanks

I was intending to come but car is throwing a few wobblies this week. If I sort them by Sat afternoon then will add name to list but looking doubtful despite spending lots of time on resolving issues.

I was hoping to make this but have the outlaws coming over for lunch.
Have a great day.

That would be a relief Sean - most of the time is under the car!

Me and the clan had a really nice day out
Met up with everyone and enjoyed a pleasant run down the Fosseway in convoy before we peeled off and went into Stow, Bourton etc etc.
I think next year we should keep it as a full tour so that everyone ends up at the same place - preferably a nice pub - at the end of the drive.
Perhaps a halfway stopover for a comfort break and a cuppa as well to give everyone a chance for a natter.
Overall a great day and the makings of a really great annual event

Got home about 1800 hours and then fell asleep after dinner
Well, what do you expect after walking around a 300 acre garden which was divided up into 29 different small gardens
Went to the Fleece Inn at Bretforton afterwards for a pint to recover
First time I had tried "Pigs Ear" beer, strong stuff.

Great day out, the route was really well planned to take in the sights of the Cotswolds, we even came across a morris dancing competition, talk about traditional England.

Hi Tom,
Pleased to hear you had a good day out
I was a little concerned that those that went to the Fleece Inn would have a problenm finding it even though I thought the directions were concise and precise. It was not well sign posted and I also noticed that a few of the road numbers were different to my highly detailed road atlas
I assiume the Morris Dancers were at the Fleece Inn, as when I arrived there I heard someone say they had left the premises.
Have read Paul's comments and will look into improving next year's tour or tours

It was nice in the car but really windy when you got out - not a good day for a Speedster or a cabbie

Perhaps you need another Porsche??
