Sounds like it should be a good time. Please post some pictures on the fun, for those of us that can't make it.

Can't make Friday or Sat so would that exclude a Sunday only visitor? Thanks.

Keith I don't see why not ! Bear in mind the ride out from the Standlake campsite will be around 11am for the 20 mile ride to Uffington Castle/Vale of White Horse. Not sure which pub we are stopping there for lunch, but I will find out for you and post back later, then if you can't make Standlake by 11am, you maybe able to make the other.

Keith, just found the pub details near the White Horse is the Fox & Hounds, High Street, Uffington, Oxon, SN7 7RP

see: http://www.foxandhoundsuffington.co.uk/

Should be there around midday if you can't make Standlake by 11am.

Cheers, Alan

Keith, glad you could make it today !

Enjoy - I certainly did !

Great pics. I appreciated you letting me tag along for the afternoon. The White Horse and Peter's guided tour was interesting and what fantastic views. It was a great day and was good to meet you all and the Essex/TV members. I ended up at John Mould's yard nr Burghfield for the rest of his open day looking at an amazing collection of 20's to 40's cars and trucks. My old car club had turned up for their annual surprise picnic so it was a meeting up with old faces, the perfect end to a really fun day. Hope to meet up sometime again and lets hope the weather hold a bit longer. Thanks again.

Keith,

it was a pleasure to have you along, glad you had a good day !
