WHERES POPHAM AIRFIELD?
Ok, I've looked through the route for the anniversary run and everything looks ok, including the much awaited attempt at Fingle Bridge.
I've got large scale maps of the route but not for the start at Popham Airfield can anyone give me a description, I can see Popham on the AA Road map and what looks like a dead end lane is this it just off the A30 near J8 M3.
Many Thanks for any help
Kevin
Kevin,If you are going South West on the M3 you leave at J8 on the A303. This is a double slip affair so make sure you go on the A303 not the A30. Keep going down the slip road onto the A303 and past the garage (I think it's a BP, there is only one. If you look to the right you should now see Popham airfield on the right the other side of the A303). Then take the first exit left (Mickelover station). Go under the A303 and back up the other side on the old road that runs parallel to the A303. The entrance to Popham airfield is about a mile on the left.If you are coming down the A34 then go East on the A303 and take the Mickelover station exit. Then as above.Hope I get the chance to meet you and see your car.Michael
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael,I found the large scale map today and it shows Popham Airfield, Were I guessed it might be but not where I would have gone if i'd have followed the AA Map.See you there with a bit of luck, seemed to run ok on unleaded and castrol valvemaster today with no pinking or side effects to notice.Kevin
