The Austin 7 Centenary Event 2022

[Hugh Barnes]

Just chiming in on the roads that people may have to use to get to the event. Sounding like a cracked record, no doubt, I drove from Cambridge to Guildtown last year, a journey of some 500 miles with the obvious route being the A1. However, it took very little research to find old portions of the A1 running parallel to the new road, that gave wonderful motoring with virtually no traffic. I am sure that any roads that have been upgraded to cope with modern traffic volumes and speeds will have their equivalent. It really doesn't take much effort to find them. Zooming in on Google maps, for example, reveals them almost instantly. For areas where I had to resort to the A1, where no option existed, I added a hi-vis rear bicycle light to the back of the car, alerting traffic coming up at speed. That was mentioned in another thread here recently. It worked a treat. With 2 years until the event, I'm sure that anyone with concerns about the journey can come up with a solution...
