I can’t imagine anyone will spoil the fun let alone a “lone girlie” you will be safe with us and like all SM events and meets all are welcome.

I have thought positive and weather is fine - but do you want a lone girlie joining the fun - my other half is more diligent than me and not prepared to take a day off work for a run out in sub perfect conditions.

@ScaldedCat survived being the 'lone girlie' at this one:

Anyone else from this part of the world? @safrane @montravia @swiftmotorsport @Blox @Andyk

My planned route currently looks something like this:

78536

Our route down is Stow, Burford, Swindon, Marlborough, Ludgershall and then round the north of Andover as you've sort of done Mark. - my skills are certainly not good enough to post it via google maps. We could meet in Marlborough - but you drive a lot quicker than me M.

Keep it coming guys.
It's great to see so many keen to meet.
Plenty of space for more though. How about Direct Messaging the folk you think could be interested: they may not have noticed this thread.
I'll write again later with an updated route card with timings from Guildford Cathedral. Many thanks Mark for your advice on the route westward from Basingstoke. Looks much more enjoyable than the only route I knew.
Looking forward to a deep fried Oxford comma with you for lunch.

GT Sport DeSORNed, needs a fill up and a wash, weather looks OK. I'll see you at Guildford Cathedral for the pre-meeting blessings, and at the Café for later.
Mrs MLC will be in tow. She's been isolated for the last 7 days so needs a run out.

I can confirm that I have indeed been the 'lone girlie' on several occasions and emerged unscathed.;)
Is this Lone Girlie thing like the Lone Ranger, only with a better hat? If so I shall come galloping over the horizon with my trusty Maser steed to provide moral support on Saturday as the weather now looks ok.
I think Mr Dman might have to get extra food in!
