Stop PressI might have a navigator on the FoD run ;D Chief Map Reader/Navigator Di might be excused slave labour on that Sunday We are plotting a route tomorrow in a dry run, sussing out "facilities" en route. The sheep have always been a problem, but I'm told the deer are breeding like mad and are getting to be a nuisance. Just hope we don't have any "road kill" My ambitious plans might have to be watered down a bit, I still think I'm setting out a stage rally Schedule coming out tomorrow night, might be late as I have a skittles match as soon as we get back in

Forest of Dean Run 051106 - BriefingMeet at 09.30 - Start at 10.00Start at Highnam Woods, which is just 1.2 miles west of the A48 junction on the A40 towards Ross. Grid ref: SO778 189, Post codeGL2 8 Caution, there is only 1 small sign directly opposite the entrance. If we get there first, there might be an orange rally arrow at the roadside as well. Maps and route detail will be available at the start if you want to dawdle and find your own way to lunch and the finish We will pass certain attractions without stopping. If you want to, stop off and catch us up for lunch. Lunch will be at the Royal Hotel, Symonds Yat East, approx 12.30 onwards. It is opposite where the old railway station used to be, and has a hand operated ferry over the river, attractive views etc. I can't post the menus as my crummy Windows Me has crashed twice with the scanned menus, and I'm running out of patience You can have a roast(£8.95), sandwiches, cream teas, cheaper options, coffee and biscuits etc. We ate there today and it was lovely. Please indicate to me if you need feeding, and I will let the hapless people know we are coming. Or bring your own, or starve. They have had MG and Morgan car clubs before Also, be aware that the path to Goodrich Castle might be slippery if it is wet. Everywhere is blighted by pay and display car parking, but we have tried to avoid where necessary. We had to leave out Monmouth and the Roman road, as it would have taken too long ;D The finish is back on the A48 just outside Chepstow, so we can break for the M4/Bridge, or go north to Gloucester. Can you please confirm numbers.
