You tried the road that runs parralell to the duel carriageway that goes to windsor, past the magna carta. Nice smooth tarmac and flowing bends, had many a race from the big roundabout to the harvester.

I can't beleive i don't see any of you guys, so many of you are near me (Walton on thames) and i'm always over that way cos i get my head + block work done in Englefield Green

Only cossies down this way i see are a burgandy one, and a black P100 cosworth pickup (used to be silver)

yeah i hate that road though, so many deaths down there (about 10) since i have lived in the area (about 14 years) and my mate has written off a scooby just by the middle section, and a bloke was killed on his motorbike outside the warehouse place. Also another bloke pulled out and got hit by a lorry there. There are always police in radar cars by lupo's too. well sketchy. I know where the harvester is, as i live in old windsor. my local, lol.

Wednesday 29th, 19:30 ish, although most seem to arrive @ around 8pm.

Here's a post about it in Shows and Meets: https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=124882

PS: There is another pub called the Bull not too far away in Barkham - It is not the right one

If I find the directions I made up a while ago, I'll pm them to you

Alternatively, you could arrange to meet boXXer (mike) somewhere and he can lead you there.
