Thanks for the offer Jan. Going to try for a bunny run, but it depends if we can get it together.
Looking at aa route finder, Winchester to Chester is a 206 mile journey, but it looks as though its going via Oxford where I live.
Sue, could you start it off again and come on the A34 to Oxford Travel Lodge (Oxford Pear Tree) which would be 57 miles for you.
I would then take on the next stage on the M40 - M6 which has taken us 160+ miles. Does anyone live near Travelodge - Stafford M6 Service area (MOTO) and could do the final leg.
P.S. Can Emma and Sue pm me their postcodes so I can double check route.
