Then we Start the Run at about 19:30.

Leave the Car Park and Turn Right onto Balsall Street , A right Turn onto
Fernhill Lane and through the first Ford of the Run
Sedgemere Ford 2

Then Up the Road until you hit the Crossroads and
Turn Right onto Long Brook Lane there you'll go through the second Ford
Sedgemere Ford 1

Follow the Lane all the way up until you come back onto Balsall Street and Turn Left and go up the Road until you see the Mud Lane Entrance of a UCR on the Right (Single Lane so we can't all get down there but can walk) is the third Ford
Temple Balsall Ford
Regretfully it's one at a time and turn around and drive back through from the other side as the Green Lane/UCR on the other side is in a bad state!

Then onto Kenilworth Road for a Drive over to Henly-in-Arden, so it's up to Knowle and across then down Station Road all the way down there until you hit the A3400 and Turn Left. Follow that all the way down and Through Henly-in-Arden then a Left Turn onto Warwick Road then a Left Turn onto Rookery Lane. Dead End Road called Preston Fields Lane...
This IS a Dead End for most vehicles as it becomes a Green Lane.
Head down the Lane and you go through the fourth Ford
Preston Fields Ford

Back to Henly-in-Arden and along the A4189 then a Left onto the A435
and Hang a Left at Coughton Court down the Coach Access Road! Follow the Road along until you arrive at the fifth Ford
Coughton Ford

Then follow the Road all the way down the twists and turns until you reach the end at the B4089 then Turn Left and go all the way through Alne until you see the tiny Mill Lane on the Right! (You can tell by the Warning Signs for Ford and Weight Limit on the Bridge!) then Bounce your way down the Road until you get to the Bottom and find yourself at the sixth Ford
Great Alne Ford

Then it's slowly head back over to the Pub where we started, have a Coke/Shandy and a Chinwag.
Also have a sneak preview of the Video and photographic footage recorded through the Journey!

Might have a Landrover 90 join us as well if there arn't too many of us.

Lawrence

CB channel 8 seems to be traditional for Fronty trips, so I'm on that

Ok Andy, sounds good to me!
Check the Great Alne Ford thread!
Video shot today!!

feckin chucking it down here with loadsa thunder - watch out for the flash floods!

Well, I'm looking at doing a Recce on the Deepest ones so I'll be leaving Soli around 17:30. If you want I'll meet you at Coughton and lead you back to the Pub?

I'll probably be in the pub having a cool one and a bite to eat a little after 6.

Looks like my mate in the LR90 will be joining us as well

Channel 8 it is then.

Lawrence

This is hoping the Handheld works!
I can't hear anything on it yet but I'll test it as I come down the Road and see if Andy's there Cammed up!
SPLASHTHROUGH
