Hello peeps!

I was just wondering if anyone from here was or thinking about coming on down for the Beaulieu Mini Cooper Day?

If you were unaware of what it is, its a HUGE open field at the National Motor Museum in the New Forest, with about 1000+ new and old MINIs there and not to jinx it, but the weather has been BEAUTIFUL the last few years I've been, so sun cream IS recommended!
Its a great family day and if you want a change from all the cars and events going on, then you have access to the National Motor Museum and Beaulieu House.

But wait for it....there's ALSO a MONORAIL! I mean...its like...Epcot on a smaller, British kinda scale..

More details can be found here:

Mini Cooper Register - National Mini Cooper Day Beaulieu

If you prebook your tickets you will save a couple of quid and reduce the hold up at the gate.

So.....If you were coming on down and would like to join up with a few other MINI owners, then I will be organising a convoy from Winchester all the way down the M3, M27 and down the back roads to Beaulieu if you were interested in arriving in style.

Pick Up Point 1

Winnall (Winchester) Tesco Car Park

Aim to get there for 0845 hours

We will be leaving at 0855 hours

Directions

From the North (A34): Head South towards Winchester. Where the A34 ends at the M3 Junction 9, at the Roundabout, take the FOURTH EXIT. After you have turned off, you will come to another roundabout, where you should take the FIRST exit into Tesco and then take the FIRST left turn to bring you into the car park where we will be.

From the M3 Southbound: Turn off at Junction 9, and take the THIRD EXIT. After you have turned off, you will come to another roundabout, where you should take the FIRST exit into Tesco and then take the FIRST left turn to bring you into the car park where we will be.

This Tesco has 99RON Super Unleaded!! Estimated 98.9p!

(or Shell Optimax across the road)

Pick Up Point 2

Rownhams Services - M27 West Bound

Aim to get there for 0900 hours

We will be leaving at 0920 hours

Located between Junction 4 and Junction 3. If you're heading from the Portsmouth direction, turn off for the only services on the M27 and you will see us all parked up on the left.

I will then lead the convoy down to Junction 2 and follow the sign posts for Beaulieu

After we pull out of Rownhams, we will travel down the M27 to JUNCTION 2!

We will then take the FIRST LEFT and head along the A326 towards Totton. There are many roundabouts for about 3 miles, but these all lead to housing estates, so DON'T turn off! Its often just a case of going straight over the roundabouts...and if in doubt...if it looks like a main road, then go down it!

We will then go UNDER the A35. Its the only road we go under, so if you've gone under a road, you're on the right path!

Stay on the A326 for just over 8 miles from the M27 to the Applemore Roundabout. We will then take the THIRD EXIT which will take us into the New Forest and down to the Third P.U.P. to pick up the Western Peeps!

Then its just a short blast down to Beaulieu.

Pick Up Point 3

Beaulieu Road Train Station

For people approaching from the West (The Cornwall Lot, Bournemouth) Or anyone else!

Aim to get there for: 0930 hours

We shall be leaving at 0950 hours

From the West Follow the A31 to where it becomes Junction 1 of the M27. You need to turn off here, and follow the sign posts for Lyndhurst.

Now…fair warning. Lyndhurst is crazy for traffic, particular on a Sunday. Tailbacks can reach 4 miles on a nice sunny day!

When you (finally!) reach Lyndhurst, you will have to turn left to go down the High Street. Carry down the High Street so it takes you out of Lyndhurst. DO NOT TURN RIGHT JUST YET!!
When you are leaving Lyndhurst, you will pass the Lyndhurst Park Hotel on your right.
Turn RIGHT at the junction just past the Hotel which will be sign posted “Beaulieu B3056”. You will then go over a cattle grid if you’re going correctly!

Hopefully see one or two of ya there!

MINI Poser · May 15th, 2008, 08:06 PM

Laura - There will definitely be an SCNM stand!

Why of course!

Lets see if we can get more than 35 cars this year!

Yeoda · May 16th, 2008, 10:11 AM

A few of us from our club are hoping to get down to this, so any chance of meeting up nearby would be cool!

Busy sorting London - Brighton at moment but def interested. Should have more planning time for this next week!

MINI Poser · May 16th, 2008, 11:07 AM

Hello Yeoda! All wise and knowing....

Anyway! Are you having your own club stand or did you want to join in the South Coast MINI Club one?

You're more than welcome to, but otherwise, we can meet up nearby and then all convoy into together if you want to do that!

Yeoda · May 16th, 2008, 12:39 PM

Were just heading down for a run without a stand but would be happy to join yours if ok!

MINI Poser · May 16th, 2008, 01:52 PM

Yeah thats grand!

You guys will be good in company with us, so when I get some convoy details sortedout I will put them on here for you to sort out where you want to join us!

Im guessing it will be Beaulieu Road Train Station which is about a mile away from Beaulieu where do our final pick up point for people from the West.

LadyVCooperS · May 16th, 2008, 01:57 PM

Ooooh! Might pop down to this one.. I love Beaulieu!

MINI Poser · May 16th, 2008, 02:36 PM

Well it has been a terrific day for the last couple of years so it shall definitely be a cool day this year!

rusty_cooper_S · May 16th, 2008, 03:36 PM

Im there, just down the road from me, I can never resist a mini convoy so count me into that too...

Woody'sCooper · May 16th, 2008, 03:42 PM

Andyminiseven from Kent and East Sussex MINI club is arranging a convoy down there from our way - there's more info on our site - KAES MINI CLUB - More than a car, more than a club!

andyminiseven · May 27th, 2008, 06:00 PM

We've got quite a few MINIs coming from Kent now, if you're going and passing Clackett Lane services on the M25, we'll all be meeting there on the Sunday morning

If you want to join the convoy down let me know, you can also view our planning/discussion thread HERE

Snowie · May 28th, 2008, 08:20 AM

Aaron

I can now make it as I have to be in UK for Monday 9th

Can you add me to the list, just one car plus one passenger

Where is the meet point ?

Bhozar · May 28th, 2008, 08:36 AM

I so wanted to go to this, but the GF has me swinging from trees and stuff on the same day.

Thats lame, tell her they've got trees at Beaulieu, you can do both that way

Mark

MINI Poser · May 28th, 2008, 03:56 PM

Alex....there are THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of trees in the Forest...and plenty of "wild" horses to go around on...

Come down here, go to Beaulieu and then do that when you get bored!

Sorted!
