RUN Details

• Convoy Meeting Point is the BP Service Centre on the Geelong Bypass Road or Ring Road. Stay right once you pass the Avalon BP Service Station.
• Meet at 10.30 AM for a 11 AM departure.

 

Nick and Kaylene Skinner (TCCV) have surveyed a route to Anglesea Pub (1 Murch Crescent Anglesea) for the 9th Feb which avoids the big car show at Torquay the same day.

The route will take about 40 minutes and does not have any traffic lights, so the convoy should be able to stay together.  It is a nice scenic country drive.

Please clear your trip meter to zero.
From the BP Service Centre on the Geelong by-pass drive along the M1 towards Colac and travel 19km, a sign says via the inland M1 route.  Do not take the turn off to Anglesea, keep heading towards Colac.

At 26km turn left onto C135 Cape Otway Road towards Moriac.

At 31.5km (which is in the township of Moriac) cross over the railway lines and immediately turn left following the C135 onto Hendy Main Road towards Torquay and Anglesea.  You will pass the Moriac Primary School on the left.

At 35km turn right onto Larcombes Road towards Anglesea.

At 35.9km turn left onto Forest Road towards Anglesea.  Continue for another 14.8km to the end of the road at a roundabout and turn right into B100 (Great Ocean Road, but not sign posted).

At   54.2km pass the strip of shops on the right hand side.  At the end of the shops turn right into Camp Road and the Anglesea Hotel is immediately on the left.  Plenty of parking available.

On the way home along the Great Ocean Road, on the left there is a great chocolate establishment which is great to visit.

 

The place and time for everyone to gather on the day will be the Mill cafe, Ballan. Those participating should arrive in their own time, but please note the departure time for the group from Ballan to drive to Lake Wendouree will be 10am sharp, so those wishing to allow leisurely time for a morning coffee break/breakfast should aim to arrive in Ballan much earlier. For those arriving early but bringing their own morning snacks, there is a park nearby, or the Mill Cafe has given permission for people to set-up in their car park.

Travelling west along the Western Highway, take the first Ballan turn off, approximately 4km after passing Pykes Creek Reservoir, take left and follow the road into Ballan. The Mill Cafe is located on your right, about 100 metres before the only roundabout in the main street. There is a car park at the rear of the cafe but also plenty of street parking available.

The Springfest organisers need to know the number of vehicles that will be there on the day so an adequate number of reserved parking spaces can be arranged, therefore it would be appreciated if those intending to attend could notify:-

Ed or Marg Ferguson either by email: me.ferguson@bigpond.com or mobile Marg: 0409 534 128. Ed: 0407 661 905.

The aim is to be in place at the designated parking area adjacent to the Ballarat Botanical Gardens, at an earlier time than has been the case in previous years, so more of the activities can be explored – perhaps, for the more ambitious, even a full 6.2km walk around the Lake’s circumference is notout of the question!

In addition, this year we also hope to arrange as many Triumphs as possible to take part in the Grand Parade around Lake Wendouree commencing at 1.00pm
