Might be able to pop along, if only I could drive as the crow flies, then its only a few miles from where I am now.

Goochie · 07-09-2006, 10:00

I woul dhave come if this was 6 years ago. I used to live 3 mins walk from there

For those that are going, dont be confused by "The Magpie" pub at the end of Magpie lane.

However, The Magpie could make a great future meet venue as it has a big car park and is just 5mins from the M40

**mannyo** · 07-09-2006, 10:15

is this the brewers fayre pub in mappoint.

Goochie · 07-09-2006, 10:20

The Brewers fayre pub is The Magpies at the eastern end of Magpie lane.

Quinten · 07-09-2006, 10:21

It should be the pub that is on the A355 (Amersham Road). It's got a reasonable big car park and a lovely childrens play area (for those who feel young at heart

)

Quinten · 07-09-2006, 10:22

In case we do have some confusion as to which pub it turns out to be, PM me, and I'll PM you my mobile number

**mannyo** · 07-09-2006, 10:24

Why is it so difficult to get there from Rickmansworth, can you post some quicky directions from Amersham. Oh, and if I manage to get along I'll be there at about 6.30ish straight after work.

Goochie · 07-09-2006, 10:31

Directions from Amersham. Assuming you'll come along the A404 from Rickmansworth.

Follow the A404 through Little Chalfont, along the straight road (built up area) for a few miles and into the outskirts of Amersham. The road takes a 90 degree left hand bend and goes off down a long hill (Stanley Hill), past my old school

At the bottom of the hil you'll reach a roundabout, go straight on (2nd exit), following signs for Beaconsfield and onto the Amersham Bypass.

3/4 mile on, at the next roundabout turn left, up Gore Hill

Participate in the Gore Hill Challenge and see how fast you can go up the hill before you reach the end of the 3 lane section of road

From the top of the hill, the Magpies is only 2-3 mins on the right hand side, just after a right hand bend, opposite a large area of woodland. You really cant miss it.

See the attached file, the Magpies is the large car park next to the main road. From Rickamsworth you'll be coming south on the main road running through the picture (the main road runs through the missing black portion, what you can see is the layby to the side)

my neck of the woods, but car is being stripped so cant make it over

Goochie · 07-09-2006, 10:37

Incidentally, the "Mulberry Bush" could be a new name for the pub - but it was always The Magpies when I lived near. I dont think there is a pub where the marker indicates on Q's map.

The marker is the postcode marker that Google drops on it. Your aerial picture is spot on though, it is that pub I'm referring to.

Just been speaking to Desmondo on the phone, see you there.
Might as well lower the tone.
