- Thread starter pgunter
- Start date
Thank you for the good news paul, I use a Tom Tom go sat Nov, but will have a look at the my route app if it makes things easier.@NEIL UPRITCHARD Good News.
As I have had a good response from some other forum members offering to help out. You are indeed on the list. I will be updating the first thread very soon. What Sat Nav do you use ? If you use MyRoute-app I would suggest sending me your email on a PM so i can add you. You can then download the file you need direct to your sat nav.
For all others who were on the reserve list. You need to read the bottom of the first thread.
Awesome, got it , now how do i get the route?
OK, sign up for a free account. then send me you email address in a PM and I will send you a friends link. You can then access the files. then you connect your sat nav to your computer and download the relevant file straight to the device.
hi we were on the original list group 5 but dont see us on the updated list hope Steve & Jan can still come Rustysteve
@Rustysteve sorry about that. I will add you to group 5 when I update later this evening.
Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend the New Forest run, I’ve got to replace my front wheel bearings and as the weather has been so bad this spring I’m unlikely to get the time before the run.
I hope all goes well and hope to meet up with some of you guys later in the year.

Groups changed to allow for people dropping out and being added. Please see the list below.
May I take a chance to remind people of how this works.
We will meet at 10am on Sunday 15th at Ower Services in the Truck parking. Please park close to the car in front as we need to get 40 cars into the area. I expect we will have to sort some movements about when we are all parked. A quick briefing will take place at around 10.25 with the first group leaving at 10.30. The route has been posted on my route app which you need to send me a PM with your email on so that I can allow you to access it. Please load it to your sat nav so you have an idea of the route. I have also included on this post a screen shot of the route. Make sure you have enough fuel for the 75 mile drive and also that you have used the facilities. We have one quick rest stop at Whitefield Moor Car Park before a longer run to the final stop.
Cruise etiquette.
The leader will keep an eye on the cars behind him, the leader though also has to keep an eye on the road ahead and the route. So.... every car keeps an eye on the one behind until the tail end has been spotted. To help we ask that the tail end driver has the side lights on. If you see people dropping back, please slow down so that they can catch up. If you have a mechanical issue, please signal by flashing your lights to the car in front and pull over when it is safe to do so. Do not block roads to wait for the car behind, when people catch up it is customary for the last car to stay in the road and allow the others to pull out to join the route again. We must be mindful that with a lot of cars on the route, that we must keep a steady progress. That way everybody gets to enjoy the day.
Final stop.
As you can imagine, finding a location to park upwards of 40 cars is a bit of an issue. If you need to leave early please make sure you park with that in mind. We will have to double and even treble park at the final location. If we park in a split formation, with access down the middle we should be good to enable access out for people.
Any questions, don't be shy. I will be busy running about on the day so would appreciate that people have an idea of group and route before hand.
The groups as they stand 8th April 2018
Post Codes for people to use if they get lost. I hope nobody does, but I am sure a few will.

Yeah you might need that
@Mnbrennan I would hope that everybody who needs it has taken the chance to look at the route above. If they have a sat nav, they should see about downloading the route as a few have already done. It would be very helpful that a few have an idea where they are heading as well as the group leaders.
