Re: FP traveling from USA to UK
Hi All
I've had a chat with Ken and because I only live a few miles away from Marlow, I've found the following place to meet.
If we were to meet in the Pound Lane Car Park in Marlow (by the park) which can be found at the bottom of the high street with most of the shops in it, you will then come to two mini roundabouts. Head right here and the car park is about 300 metres on the left hand side. This is a good location for Marlow and not to far away from the Crowne Plaza Hotel. If we were to meet there at mid day, one of us could slip away and collect FP from the Hotel. From here we can take in the shops, the river and cafe's etc. Afterwards a drive to Henley on Thames then on to Stonor Park which is the oldest Manor House in the country. Stonor opens its doors at 2:00pm. A great venue for pic's. Or if you like, the village of Turville Heath isn't far away. This was where the Vicar of Dibley was filmed.
Anyway, what we do after we have met is up to you. There is plenty around to do. What do you think?

Jon. An ideal meet location etc and easy for all to find..plus a few shops for the girl's to check out. I have ordered one of my special hot and sunny days for Sunday 31th Aug...well, it worked last time.
What we do need though, is a Xfire owner with a spare seat available on the day to collect FP from the hotel and transport him on the country run....any volunteers?
Cheers
Ken.

This sounds like a blast !!
Please take some pics so we can share the moment back home.
Say hello from all of us back here in the USA
Remember FP you will be on the left side of the car but not driving it.
PS...Ken,
This was a great idea and it sounds like you guys are making a great plan together.
Have a great time !!
FP is a great guy !!

Re: FP traveling from USA to UK
Hi there - Jon has come up a great plan there, and if Ken can come up with the weather we've got it sorted!
(I've heard he does a strange dance ritual somehow involving his dice to bring out the sun)
I will have an empty co-pilot seat on the day, as Andrea has had a better offer (but we wont go into that) Looking forward to great day!

Re: FP traveling from USA to UK
Sounds good. Just to help (and confirm), is this the correct car park?
Looks like I’ll need to give my car a wash - she’s looking a bit grubby at the moment.
