andy Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 When I did the map Google routefinder reckoned roughly 430 miles on the planned route. However, that route isn't set in stone at present and may change after the recce is done
HairyDJ Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 When I did the map Google routefinder reckoned roughly 430 miles on the planned route. However, that route isn't set in stone at present and may change after the recce is done If you need any local recce help before your dry run, then shout out Andy! You certainly can't trust the Shell site to lead you to the right fuel - similarly with some of the sat nav POI data - Hilton Park is supposedly hosting Shell & BP both sides of the motorway The one thing to know for sure is that Banbury has no shell anywhere near - even some that seem ok within 15 miles or so are a beggar - the A34 SW bound from M40 J9 will send you halfway to Oxford before you can turn around and head back. I would guess that your last motorway fill-up would be about 80 miles before reaching Prodrive, and the run back north may be a similar distance before you link up with one on the motorway. Hopefully some of the Banbury locals can give us heads-up on camera locations and favourite mobile spots as time gets closer. If nobody closer offers themselves, I'll check out any locations down this way that might help with the master plan Cheers, David
j10 dly Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Hey there, just registered for the trip down to Prodrive on the official site. Was looking at some of the possible accomodation, and was wondering, (this is probs a silly question) do the caravan parks have static caravans etc on site that you can stay in or are they just for people taking their own caravans.

Thanks for registering on the site, helps when we get closer to the time to giveus a rough indication of numbers May have to phone the Caravan Parks concerned to see if any of the owners of the statics do 1 night rentals

s25yme Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) Wondering if anyone has thought about getting clothing made for the day, was thinking of getting a t-shirt made up, Don't know who run's the SIDC shop or if it inappropriate for them to distribute, but could SIDC raise funds from t-shirts. I attach a link to the site where I created my t-shirt. I'm sure many people will have there own thoughts about what they would like on there clothing. www.eshirt.it/carrello/ecard.php?prj_source=08012992210E&myl=en Picture on left is the FRONT, the right is the BACK.
