i work in MK. But M40 is too far away really. you've got rather more A road coverage than me on saturday! think 2 hours should be enough.

Is anyone coming past Guildford Cathedral (on the A3 basically)? Could meet at 08:00 - aiming to leave by 08:15 - should get us there by 08:50?

Just a thought.

....You need much more time to get from Guildford at 8:15am > A3 > JKM by 8:50am (unless you maintain licence losing autobahn speeds!)

Oh really? TBH I haven't done the journey from the cathedral before (I normally join the A3 at the Farnham / Bordon junction). But your probably right, as going past the devil's punchbowl and Hindhead can be a little slow at times.

....There's an extensive 40 mph limit roadworks up there at the moment.

I may be at a meeting in Gosport that day, just around the corner.  i wont be in Ed, but whatever staff car is available.  If i get time, will try and get over and see you all, and put a few names to faces.
