Had a look on the official website and you can download a bunch of pdfs that show the road closures. Looks like the only conflict is on the way back up toward Dorking so I've changed it on the map if you want to check it out. Looks like there is two cycle races during the day so they might be closed for quite some time. Can tweak nearer the time once it's clear what's off limits.

I think there's a breakfast club at Goodwood on that day. Might impact on the cars around at that time of the day, especially near Guildford, plus you can be sure the speed traps will be in operation.

Hi strobinson1,
Looking forward to this drive with Team S2KUK
A few suggestions for the route:
1. Guildford Meeting point: HALFORD'S SIDE, Ladymead Retail Park, Europa Park Road,Guildford,Surrey,GU1 1AJ . SAT NAV Does not seem to like the post code for the Sainsbury's in Burpham so to avoid people not being able to find the meeting point, I propose for us to meet at the Ladymead Retail Park (HALFORDS SIDE)
2. Change the end destination to Ladymead Retail Park, Europa Park Road,Guildford,Surrey,GU1 1AJ (BACK WHERE WE MET). So instead of turning right at the roundabout at York Road (Guildford town centre) go straight across through Sport's Ground until we get to the Retail park. We can all round up there at the end for a quick chat and goodbye's.
3. I personally would like to go through Hindhead tunnel "a number" of times
I would go down A3, through the tunnel, straight after turn off and come back on yourself and go through again, then come back on yourself again and head back southbound to go through AGAIN. HAHA so three times in total, then we can continue the route as planned.
This should make the start and meet points easy to find so that no one gets lost and plenty of space to park.
I also suggest that people download the Walkie Talkie application "ZELLO" on your Smartphones. Fantastic app, just hold down the middle circle till it glows red and speak just like a walkie talkie!
I have created a group called "S2K Surrey Sunday Run". Please add yourself to the group. If people can do this prior to the event, it will help save time and save people from getting split up at traffic lights etc!
