There o or the one on Spring Lakes, Station Rd, Cirencester GL7 5TH which is just round the corner for your suggestion.

Will know in an hour if we need to swap the breakfast point. Airfield event uses the south gate so there maybe a chance the cafe at the north side can still be used.

I will PM you all in an hour.

Gateway Cafe sounds like a plan, easy to get to from the Swindon/Gloucester/Cheltenham directions.
I presume Waitrose in Cirencester, and where is Dobbies?

Confirmed with the AV8 Cafe that they are not affected by the event, so meet there as planned.

However keep clear of the south side road to avoid the queues and approach via the Foss Way.

Eta at the cafe is 09:30 - 10:00. There is also a Jag meet there so will be bjsy with some nice cars and of course some vintage planes buzzing about.

Again anyone coming from Wales/M5/Stroud; happy to corral you here in Nkrth Nibley then covoy out.

4 spaces booked for lunch with two takers so far. Let me know if you need adding.

This is the proposed route, with some starting at Peter's (safrane) in North Nibley, some at Kemble Airport, and some continuing on to the pub. I know Peter and I are doing the whole thing, not too sure about everyone else's plans (apart from notes in team list above).

Only known speed cameras are on the Fosse Way at Foss Cross, and just after Bourton-on-the-Water.

I started playing with doing a detailed turn-by-turn, but stopped as it was VERY time-consuming and probably not useful, but here are the pictures for the turn towards the pub once you are South of Burford and the 'fork left' to stay on the single-lane road and off the farm track!

Perfect guys for 09:15.

Depending on your direction of travel I am just outside on North Nibley between Wotton in a Old Barn. Look out for the Knight Frank for sale board under the ahoadow of the Tyndal monument.
