Fantastic Phil. Looks great and looking forward to it.

Btw just realised you'd posted a question in the other thread. No I don't think I have done the B4035, so will give this a go when I'm next out for a drive as it's not that far away.

Almost certainly if they can make it. There are some work issues at present.

If anyone is looking for somewhere to stay then The Pheasant at Charlecote is a reasonable place to consider.
It is directly opposite Charlecote House - National Trust - and is close to both Warwick and Stratford upon Avon.
Some years ago we held several Z events there.

Sorry Phil to be picky...

Just plotted the route on a map and the penultimate stop is Bladon, not Blaydon!

Looks like a good route, takes in the nice parts of the cotswolds and fingers crossed the weather will be fine on the 24th!

Thanks for spotting the spelling mistake Arit - I've changed it now.
The places mentioned are only a guide to the route but not the route itself.
There are lots of differences between the planned route shown and the route I intend to do. For instance we go up Sun Rising Hill and then go along a very scenic lane before descending Lady Elizabeth Hill into Tysoe. Sat navs don't understand illogical detours that may go round in a circle.
Fear not all is in hand Arit. :D :D

I've driven and cycled a lot of the roads round the route and they are really good.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again very soon
