Riding sdw over 3 days. Wild camping on way.

Anyone kind enough to let me leave my car on their drive from tomorrow till Tuesday?

Will pay with beer tokens or give money to a charity of your choice.

Sorry,a big ask. My last "window" to ride sdw before winter closes in.

Really need to ride The Way. Life is complex these days as a career for my mother and might not get an opportunity next year.

If anyone can help here is my email addy.

Thanks for reading guys. Sorry again for the massive ask.

I live in just outside Southampton, but train station at bottom of hill, 10mins to Winch on train, about £3.50.
more than welcome to leave your car at mine for the weekend if you get stuck otherwise.
cheers
Rich

I am riding most of the SDW tomorrow, but trying Eastbourne to Harting Down.
So if you see an old man going very slowly on a white Trek FS / Black Lid that will be me.

Similar here, just massively overbiked and going very slowly too. lol

Will check that site out guys.

TBH would sooner leave it with an STWer really though.

Yeah, fair enough. I used it a couple of times in Brighton and it worked out OK. But always nice to leave with a fellow biker - especillat if it means a nice cup of tea and bike geek out 😉

I'm probably a little too far from Winchester/SDW to be of any use, I'm afraid, but I've taken the liberty of linking this to the Hampshire thread, in case anyone on there can help!

Bottom end of Petersfield Road in Winchester, its the dead-end residential road that has no parking restrictions and is on the route, left car there a few times. There are yellow lines towards the city centre.

Glad you're sorted. I just parked at the station, can pay on your phone. Not the cheapest, but zero hassle.
