mudflaps Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Thinking about it that's why I've become Victor Meldrew of Rye House. I dont believe it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 This will only affect drivers approaching from the east - I suggest that instead of turning off at the Gordon Arms pub and coming down the Oundle Road drivers carry on to the Hampton roundabout and turn right towards the A1. Sorry Neil this means nothing to me. I come along A1 from Cambridge and turn off at Peterborough Services! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Wealdstone, should carry onto next junction on the A1 just after the petrol station, there is a turning left, take that, then turn left immediately then you will go over the A1 and a mile on your right hand side is the EOES, will save time on your journey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that work when leaving the EOES to head south on the A1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWatson Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 That's a great shout, thanks. Does that work when leaving the EOES to head south on the A1? Come out of the Showground and turn left , then almost immediately turn right to the A1 south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPanther Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 That's a great shout, thanks. Does that work when leaving the EOES to head south on the A1? Yes, its only a minute or so to join the A1 from the Showground entrance. I always go that way, its much quicker... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Yes it does Shadders...... Coming in, when you take that turning, its literally 20 yards after the petrol station, and will bring you in where the Harvester Pub is near the EOES. Going out, turn left on the roundabout where the Harvester is, then you want to take the first right, through the little village on the right hand side, alwalton, you will the Cuckoo pub (very nice food, better than harvester) on the right hand side, head down to the bottom of the road and you join STRAIGHT onto the A1 Picture below to make more sense of it https://plus.google.com/108621784892536865185/photos?hl=en just remember this charity run is on, so could be a bit busier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries at all, website for the menu is attached. http://www.vintageinn.co.uk/thecuckooalwalton/ Both nice pubs but the Cuckoo is a fair bit pricier than the Harvester I like the finer things obviously but I don't think you can compare the food IMO.

Dave Stummings Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Yes works same way going out. It virtually only a couple of minutes from the A1. Was planning this one, but with a combination of weather and a lousy promotion, team manager and team I'll probably not bother..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers89 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 BBC weather now saying possible showers till 1800 then clearing up from then on, so fingers crossed the flash flooding keeps away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolly Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Sorry to here about Jason G's food poisoning, which stops him from racing for Rye tonight. But look on the bright side, he'll be ok again at about 9.30pm tonight. Me cynical !!! I don't know what you mean. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PE7Panther Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I'm close to the EoES (Ferry Meadows) ... Heavy rain at the mo , grey sky everywhere, looks set in - but you never know with our poxy weather, it could brighten up in an hour or so. Fingers crossed - but it's not looking good right now Update: rain almost stopped now, and a tiny hint of getting brighter. The rain we've had just now shouldn't - surely? - be bad enough to make the track unfit. Let's hope not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PE7Panther Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 That's good to hear - maybe it's blowing the other way (?). Btw I'm only 1/2 mile from Showground entrance - funny old weather! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
