What roads are closed tomorrow for the London Brighton bike run. As they go over the beacon are we still able to use the bypass and drive up the A23?

Want to go to the boot sale at Ponying on the A281.

... are we still able to use the bypass and drive up the A23?

Yes.

 

[Garage_Doors]

Thanks guys, don't look like there is going to be too much disruption.

 

[vegster]

Maybe we will be allowed to drive on the pavements to avoid congestion ?

 

[Tory Boy]

Thanks guys, don't look like there is going to be too much disruption.

Apart from the 28,000 bikes and 5,000 vans picking them up, and the 50,000 friends and family in their 20,000 cars.

No problem at all.

...boot sale at Ponying on the A281.

A281 to A264 to M23. Flight from Gatwick and you should be in Bangkok in reasonable time.

No idea how to get to Ponying from there.

Word of advice, they alternate Poynings and Sayers Common boot fairs each week. The ones at Sayers Common are always bigger and better attended.

Some of them spending money in the town, maybe staying overnight in hotels, eating in cafes and restaurants.

A terrible situation for a town with a tourist-based economy...

Terrible for families who want to get around and do Fathers Day stuff too. Maybe they could give us all a break and have it another day occasionally.

There always seems to be some weekend chaos just around the corner, the one I hate most of all is the Mini Run when all those idiots think that they are living The Italian Job for the day. Put stickers on it or a flag on the aerial and toot your horns all you want but, you are still driving around in a gutless tin can, lets have more speed humps and watch them ground !

 

[teaboy]

Not to mention those 23 days a year when getting a seat on the train to Lewes is just impossible! Won't somebody think of the children?!!

 

[willyfantastic]

Just go to North Chailey and get to Mid Sussex from that direction.

thanks - i had kind of thought of doing that but saw the route cuts haywards heath in half, but im assuming that at the priory roundabout they let traffic through, so will go that way

Yes, Priory roundabout not too bad at the moment. Being well marshalled for once in HH it would appear.

 

[vegster]

Just popped down to the Marina and had 6 cyclists split across the two lanes down to the mini roundabout. They seemed to have no idea of which lane they all wanted to be in thus causing chaos.

Heinous, do-gooding, money raising, b*****ds.
