Meetup at Southmoor Nature reserve, Havant, South East at 13:30 on Sunday, 12th October 2025

If its a special occasion and not just a convenient bed for the night then go for something that actually looks nice imo.

It’s more of a memory building thing than anything else, in my humble opinion anyways :slight_smile:

These days, being out of the house is an occasion for me :grin:

4+ years ago when I was walking, I’d have driven there and back the same day. But I don’t think I’d risk that at the moment.

The hand controls that I had fitted 4 months ago are great, but not really suited for longer stretches behind the wheel.
Anyways, time for me to get ready for a physio session.

Good luck with the session.

Wouldn’t cruise control on your car help with distance driving?

It’s the first thing I switch on and it has been so so useful. We’re onto the A38 to go anywhere, so I set it straight to 75mph and leave it there.
It’s that fancy one that adjusts to the car in front, so at lower limits I just follow the car in front (if there is one).

I struggle with not having any space to move my right leg. It’s jammed between the door and the hand control. And there is a box over the pedals so that I don’t inadvertently get my feet jammed, reducing the space even more.

I’ll show you next time I see you. It is a very good set up, and I wish I had had it done when I first had the car.

I’m thinking about attending this meetup @macspite :grin:

Hi @GunboatDiplomat, it looks as though you’re quite new here :wave:t2:

Why not nip over to the Introductions page, and say hello properly and tell us a bit about yourself. :+1:t2:

Just had the rental picked up.

Nice chap just said all good, sign here. :wink:

Just to be aware of when planning your route, shouldn’t be too big an issue.
A stretch of the M27 eastbound is set to close for work on a bridge.

Charging started some while ago :slight_smile:

Good points

Still, I’m slightly hesitate to charge the avata

In other news,

I nearly ran over what looked like a barn owl sat exactly in the middle of the road. Turned around and spent some time looking for it but nothing to be seen. I’ld put the m30 up to check but that would probably annoy the snoozing farmers.

Sadly not able to come, due to work the next day with a super early start. Maybe next time

You can pop over to the meetup page on Drone Scene, click on your username there, and click the red button. :+1:
