Route be done >> Clicky here.

Decided to pick up the A38 Southbound at Willington, coming off at A513/Alrewas to cope with the distance and time taken to get to the pub.
Taking the A513 West towards King's Bromley but coming off left at Daisy Lane after about a minute.

Total distance: 30.6 miles according to google 45 mins.
Or 24.7 miles if you believe TomTom
TomTom ITN file attached anyway.

[Nige]

Will meet you at Daisy Lane, what time do you expect to be passing there?

[clix]

Will meet you at Daisy Lane, what time do you expect to be passing there?

TomTom, in all its wisdom, reckons a 50 min drive start to finish but it's always pessimistic.
With Daisy Lane being the last stretch, if we leave the Clock at 8pm sharp, expect us 8:40 ish give or take 10 mins for unforseens.

Hi Jim & Kath

I will be at 'The Clock' for this one. Thought I had put my name down already, obviously not!
Suppose you'll be in the Citroen so you can have a pint or two, ha! ha!

See ya

[gasbob]

[nigel]

Hi,
Put me down for this one as I can't make the Sunday run.
Will join you at the A513 / Daisy lane Alrewas or meet you at the pub.

Took a topless ride out there today for a gander. Note the speed humps when following the canal towards the pub.
Tried not to fall in the drink when I had to negotiate a parked van on the right hand side of the road.

So, Repton Road and Daisy Lane pickups: Please be ready to tag on the end of the convoy as it passes you.

Will join you at the A513 / Daisy lane Alrewas or meet you at the pub.

Ok Nigel no worries, see you then.

[gasbob]

Did you try the beer? hic hic

[Muxie]

Nah, just a flying visit. Lots of people around sitting outside in the sunshine. Photographer over the other side, taking a few snaps of the old British Waterways van.

[Rich]

Will see you at the pub.

Cheers
Rich.
