Cotswold Drive '25! - Date Poll Added

Post by Dr. FrankenRex »

Hi Guys,

Based on the popularity of the various drive out events through the year, I'm looking at organising a single day Cotswold Drive for 2025 (literally for no other reason than it rhymes!).

I've now added a poll for the potential dates. You can select as many as you want, so please select all that you can do!

The plan will be a single day drive out, followed by an early meal somewhere (probably about 5pm) to allow those not looking to stay in a hotel a chance to head back after. The meal will be optional if people want to head back early.

One of the stops will likely be Caffeine and Machine - on a weekend day there is a ticket price of £10, so please factor this in to the trip cost, although you do get £5 off your bill for food and drink if you choose to get anything.

As for the location and route, I have a rough idea which would start at the 'Cotswold Barn' which is located here https://maps.app.goo.gl/DUvhUWtiG4JVKP8h9

And then heading south and east in to the wolds from there. Full route would obviously depend on accommodation requirements.
