Right, its decision time. We can do either of the following.

Option 1.
Yateley 1 (2WD) -
Ash 1 (2WD) -
Ash 1 (4WD) -
Warren 2 (4WD) -

Good points - will allow us to meet up with Surrey at the Rushmoor Arena car park at the start of the day (8:30ish). Would finish the day at about 4:30pm for the drive home.
Bad points - over an hour wait between last car on the first Ash running and the first car on the second Ash running. Not enough time to get out to another stage but a lot of time to sit around doing sweet-FA. Also don't see any 4WD cars until the afternoon stages (some may have retired). 2WD entries include cool stuff like mk2 escorts and the like, but also a lot of duller stuff like Micras and Pug 106s.

Option 2
Longmoor 1 (4WD) -
Longmoor 2 (4WD) -
Warren 1 (4WD) -
Ash 2 (2WD) -
Ash 2 (4WD) -

Good points - 5 stages instead of 4. No long waiting around gaps. More of the 4WD action (better to watch imo). More free stages so cheaper day out.
Bad points - Won't be able to meet up with the Surrey lot in the morning. Limited parking at Longmoor (nearby housing estate job if roadside parking all taken up). Only Warren is a proper spectator stage so bring sarnies with you - no facilities at Longmoor or Ash!


I'm happy to go with the majority on this. Would personally prefer option 2 as more stages and more 4WD, but it might not fit in with what Surrey are doing. For reference, Ash is the stage with the jump mentioned earlier, and Longmoor is located about 30 mins further South (between Bordon and A3). What do you guys think?
