Bailey73 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hi Rob Sounds good, is there a layby anywhere along there, I am not that familiar with that part of the A40? Anyone else want to join us along our route? At the big roundabout in Burford if you turn left onto the Lechlade Rd there is a huge layby there. Link to comment

ryan84 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Lol, had forgotten I had already added you! Sorted now Can't wait now, papping myself about pulling it all together but I've no doubt it's going to be an incredible day for Jake! Whatever the weather, the sun's going to be shining on us on Sunday chaps (and chapesses! ) Welcome to SIDC by the way Ryan! Cheers Stu, Got to head back to see Keith this week so will ask if he can donate something, i forgot last time i was there. My mates shop makes canvas prints, if there is a picture that someone can find that would make a nice gift for Jake he said he would make one up for him. Going to be a great day come rain or shine for sure. Link to comment
tiny gsy Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Why not get a group picture on the day and get that printed and sent on after as a permanent reminder Link to comment
ryan84 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Why not get a group picture on the day and get that printed and sent on after as a permanent reminder Now that is a great idea, if its possible then we should do it. My mates said he will only charge the cost of materials so should cost no more than a couple of quid which i will cover. Link to comment
stum450n Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 That's very kind of you both and an absolutely fantastic idea, thank you all! Link to comment
ryan84 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hope we get a chance to do it, it would be a great reminder of the day for him to hang in his room! Sunday cant come soon enough for me Link to comment
Bailey73 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I will be bringing my camera down with me so I will take loads of pics for everyone. Link to comment
ryan84 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 We will be somewhere that will have enough room for a group pic? Link to comment
stum450n Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Excellent, thanks Darren - should have some cracking pics by the end of it! Think it's safe to say there will be a True Grip feature in it Link to comment
stum450n Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 We will be somewhere that will have enough room for a group pic? Well the hotel that has offered to put on a buffet for us have also offered us parking for a photo. Let's hope their car park's big enough eh! Link to comment

H 5CBY Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) Well thank fook you spotted that one then! Doh!!! Thanks, will get that amended - damn Google Maps (Surprised the local police didn't mention that when I submitted it for approval though) That cornish police for ya lol unless they going to close the road for you, dont know if this wiil help but the one way system here is wierd from st georges road area the one way traffic travells towards the griffin but then the road opposite the traffic travels the opposite way to the end of town heading out to sainsburys and the headland road area,as far as i can see the rest of the route is two way traffic hope this helps and does not confuse you even more, other possibility is to do it the opposite way round maybe?

I'm thinking doing it the other way around it the only option for maximum impact Speedhumps are unavoidable though I'm afraid, they live just up from the school. We need someone with local knowledge to lead the convoy around Newquay - you up for it? Link to comment

We need someone with local knowledge to lead the convoy around Newquay - you up for it? Yeah no problem wil need to know exactly where you want to hit, basicly the route youve got you cant do as the one way splits into two sections, by the central bar you either have to go left into a one way toward bottom of town or right into main town there is no two way traffic whatsoever thru town and there is some automatic ballards thru part of the town you will need to check if they are automatic and recognise there is a car waiting and if they will stay down or if each car has to stop and wait the last ting you want is for one to pop up whilst you are over it. maybe i should nip into the police station Newquay with the map to sort it ??

H 5CBY Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 can do that route in two sections it would prob add 5 or 10 min on to route time but could work just means one short road we would go down twice but could do the full route you have on the map Link to comment
