A303-A30 Junction Layby circled in Red

I would like to join you in the convoy to Wiscombe Hill, and have purchased my ticket using the clubpackagemg code.

I presume you will be using the A303/A30 route from Ilminster. If so, could I join where the A30 from Chard joins the A303. There is a convenient layby. An Aerial photo of the layby I am suggesting is above.

This would save me from back-tracking from home to Ilminster. If not convenient, no problem!

Thanks

Hi John,

Yes that's fine. We'll either create a gap for you in the line or will pull into the layby. I suspect I will be leading in our yellow Trophy.

O.K. & Thanks for accommodating my aversion to travelling any more of the A303 on a Saturday than I HAVE to!

I will be in the lay-by at 10:25 latest and look out for a Yellow Trophy and I will do my best to slip into a gap smartly. Best to avoid leaving a large gap when we meet the A30 (just along the road), if you are taking anything other than the "Official" route to Wiscombe.

We usually head to Honiton and then past the Golf Club.

See you all tomorrow. Think sun screen will be needed.
