Mr Snackette Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 You could be right mike, i wasn't sure the person who told me said Exeter or Swindon, but like you say it's close enough, closer than Ipswich thats for sure....... Swindon to Plymouth 160 miles, Swindon to Ipswich 170 miles. So virtually midway between the two. Close enough!!!!!!???????? Closer than Ipswich.......just, by only just!!!!

Close enough!!!!!!???????? Closer than Ipswich.......just, by only just!!!! Thats what i said, Swindon to Plymouth will be a lot closer than Ipswich to Plymouth, i don't know why you said Swindon to Ipswich, he wouldn't be going to Ipswich from Swindon if he signed for Plymouth, not unless he got lost, if Lanham had sign for Plymouth it would have been a long old journey for him to come down to ride for Plymouth 257 miles according to the road map, taking him 269 minutes at 70 mph, if Cory signs it would be 136 miles, taking him 142 minutes at 70 mph, big difference.

I type this rather slowly in the hope the message gets through.....a little ambitious I know, but I'll give it a go!! The most recent posts on this thread relate to Cory Gathercole. Now as I understand it, Cory lives in Swindon with his girlfriend. It has been mentioned that he might be a target for both Plymouth and Ipswich. My point was that if travelling was an issue for Cory, Swindon would be virtually equidistant between the two. Simples!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simples!!!!! I get your point and you are looking at the bigger picture, Cory to Ipswich or Plymouth would make no difference to the lad, the point i was making and i did not know that Ipswich were interested in the lad, was coming to Plymouth the journey would be much better for him than Lanham's would be, so sorry if i misunderstood your post but i get what you are getting at for Cory to go to Plymouth or Ipswich would not make much difference journey wise.

westlakejawa Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 DEVILDODGER Swindon to Plymouth 142 miles at 70 mph on a Friday -you want to try it. May onward's more like 4 hour's, and with the Almondsbury/M5/M4 bucket and spade work taking place for the next 2 years could well be a further hour . Many Moons ago , i think Colin Cook use to do Ipswich -Exeter for Two or Three season without the motorway network which now exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just printed what was said on the road map, your right you can add an hour to that journey but i was using it has an example, from May onwards is a nightmare on any motorway, i have been up that way a few times, it's no walk in the park that's for sure.

english roundabout Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 The derby with plymouth at the oak tree arena will be worth watching, especially with gathercole riding for plymouth. Can anybody tell me what date that particular meeting is please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
