Wyle and Ebble valley 2017

Hi All.I may be a bit optimistic but I was thinking of entering this this year. Can anyone let me know about the current route as I believe it now avoids the A303?
Thanks

I read that as "avoiding a .303" and wondered which route could possibly put the riders in danger of getting shot.

Iddu's Old Roads and Drove Roads I believe?

I don't think postie has issued this year's route but last year we controlled at the Rare Breeds place then retraced to Cholderton before heading down past Porton:

Thanks! No alternative but to enter really then!

The route is the same as last year. Full details out soon. Just waiting for the finish control to confirm.

Brilliant. I'll get myself organised then.

Family situation precludes. However I have worked out a route from home so my first DIY is on the cards. I just need to work out the formalities.

34 rides sent on there way this morning,  over a third didnt start which is disappointing, especially as the weather is so nice.
May go back to postal entries only as that seems to cut down the dns rate !!! I guess all to easy to press a button on a computer and six pounds is no a lot these days to waist.

Those that didn’t turn up missed a great day.
A great route, almost perfect weather (20 minutes of light rain over The New Forest) and wonderful controls. I must see if my better half will act as chauffeur so I can enjoy a pint or several at the Arrivée next year.
Thanks for organising this Postie.
