Am back from my bum burning UK - Gib -UK trip. Well with my air seat my posterior wasn't that bad, what was the heat under the helmet. It was like rain dripping down.
Anyway, i think it's time to sort out some meet up for us Sussex, Hamp, Surrey boys.
Can everyone interested please tell me where they live so we can work out a central meeting place. I'll start, I live just outside Chichester.

I’m 30 mins from Chichester, an hour from Gatwick, 45 mins from Newlands Corner. But I’m away until July 8th.

I'm near Reading, but OK for Goodwood, provided that it is dry & sunny (like today!).

Nope, I live in Pulborough, just up the road from you.

But I was born on the Island which makes me a Caulk-head :lol: and I’m very impressed you know the flag mate.
