[OSM-talk] Reminder: Southampton meet on Tuesday

[Nick Whitelegg]

Hello everyone,

A reminder that there's a Southern England pub meet next Tuesday at 7pm at The 
Crown Inn, off Hawthorn Road, Highfield, Southampton. Coordinates: 
approximately: lat='50.93194052' lon='-1.400842768'

Directions:

From the north:

Come down the M3 from the north, when it joins the M27 turn off on the A33 
signposted Southampton. Follow Bassett Avenue southbound, past a roundabout, 
until you reach the crossroads with the A35 (Burgess Road) about a mile south 
of the motorway. A35 to the left is signposted University/Fareham. Very 
shortly after this crossroads turn left on Highfield Avenue, this becomes 
Highfield Lane. Second left is Hawthorn Road and the Crown car park is on the 
right, in a short distance.

From the east:

M27 to the A335 intersection (airport). South on A335 towards Southampton, 
when you reach McDonalds in just under a mile fork right. Follow Burgess Road 
(A35) for 3/4 mile or so to the intersection with the Avenue (A33). Turn left 
then shortly left again on Highfield Avenue, then see above.

From the west:

Relatively tricky. Probably best to follow the M27 to the airport turning, as 
from the east then follow the "from the east" directions (above)

From Southampton City Centre:

North on The Avenue (signposted A33, Winchester) - it's the main road north 
out of the city. Pass the Cowherds pub on the left, carry on for about half a 
mile then turn right on Highfield Avenue then as above.

Train:

probably Southampton Airport Parkway is your best bet. Take the U1 bus to the 
Stile pub (intersection of University and Burgess Road). Alight and walk a 
short way west along Burgess Road past a row of banks etc on the left. At the 
junction with Glen Eyre Road on your right, turn left along a pathway. It 
goes through woods but should be safe before dark.
