Cycling to Hook Norton |
North Cotswold Branch of the Campaign for Real Ale |
Hook Norton Festival
of Fine Ales
The
2012 Festival is on Saturday 21st July, starting 12 Noon
Like
the successful cycling trips to the last 4 festivals, we again plan to cycle to
/ from this year’s festival. As usual we will start from Bourton-on-the-Water
with approximate times as listed in the tables below. Please feel welcome to
cycle with us, either from Bourton, or joining up along the way. Note that we
cycle at a leisurely pace, so don’t expect us to keep up if you are super fit
and do not want to dawdle. Also if the weather is unsuitable for cycling, this
event may be cancelled on the day. The 2007 festival coincided with the floods,
hence cycling was impossible.

If

/ Bledington junction (About 5 miles)
This
year, if the weather is suitable, some of us are proposing to camp overnight at
the festival and return on the Sunday. The times below will only apply if we do
not camp and cycle back on the same day.
