Hi Everyone,

The Breakfast Drive has just been finalised, as Diane & Terry recently did the Recce Drive and the details for the first drive of 2025, which is to be a “Breakfast Drive” is on Sunday 5th January, the details of which, are as follows;

Rendevous Point: Botleigh Grange (Pictured below), Grange Rd, Hedge End, Southampton SO30 2GA

Rendevous Time: 09:30 onwards – where we can all indulge in Bacon Baps and coffee or Tea £5.

Or, alternatively, a Sausage Bap with Coffee or Tea £5

There is also a “Vegetarian Option” of an Egg Bap with Coffee or Tea for £5

A Sausage, or Egg can be added to your Bap for £1.50 per item – what’s not to like!

PLEASE REPLY TO THIS POST GIVING US YOUR BREAKFAST BAP CHOICES, TO ASSIST BOTLEIGH GRANGE, FOR CATERING PURPOSES. 

Departure Time: 10:30

NB-1: After sampling the culinary delights of Breakfast Baps in the Executive Lounge and Diane & Terry having proved the drive route, we will hand out Tulip Directions at Botleigh Grange, prior to our departure

Drive Length: Approx 47.2 miles (1 hr 45 mins)

NB-2: The recce drive was a bit soggy in places and Terry said it was very reminiscent of his famous “Wet Run” in a few places but not quite as bad There is also a Ford to negotiate on the route but rest assured if we have a lot of rain between now and the date of the drive you will not have to negotiate the Ford, we will navigate around it

Arrival Time at The Guild, Wiltshire (Formerly Wilton Outlet Centre): 12:15 approx.

NB-3: Since becoming The Guild, the Outlet Village has reduced in size and on a Sunday only the Pavers Shoe Shop and Wilton Coffee Shop will be open.

So, as an alternative, you have the choice of either The Guild, or there is Wilton House Garden Centre, on the A36, just before The Guild and they have a Restaurant where you can indulge in lunch, or a snack, as desired

Best Regards

Team Solent
