| Another southern SABRE roadtrip. This time it was West Surrey, West Sussex and Hampshire. Sadly, the camera stayed in its case more than it should have done. Still, here are 10 snaps to prove to the doubting Sabristi that a road trip actually did happen. |
Nothing but a bit of Didling and Cocking - not a semi-legitimate activity, but a signpost on very minor road in Sussex 800x600 September_2006_001.jpg |

The former end of the A272 at the A30 in Stockbridge. The route was altered when the M3 opened and a decision was taken to move all A-roads out of Winchester. The A30 disappears through the town into the distance. 800x600 September_2006_003.jpg |

A closer-in view of the semi-double roundabout in Stockbridge where the A30/A3057. & B3049 (ex-A272) meet 800x600 September_2006_005.jpg |
The current terminal point of the A272 at an anonymous crossroads precisely in the middle of nowhere. 800x600 September_2006_006.jpg |

There it is again, the current A272 terminal on the A30, about 5 miles away from Stockbridge 800x600 September_2006_007.jpg |
The only other interesting thing at the A272/A30/B3420 crossroads - the car is worth a look too! The SABRE roadtrip transport with all the other participating Sabristi inside. 800x600 September_2006_008.jpg |
On the former A30 between Sutton Scotney and Micheldever, is reminder of the past. This sign would have been vitally important for travellers travelling from the South West, a promise of refreshments and toilets ahead on the then new M3. Remember that the M3 ended at Popham (J8) in those days 800x600 September_2006_009.jpg |

Quite possibly the only advance warning sign for a service area on an unclassified road. This sign dates back to when this road was the A30 heading towards the J8 terminus of the shiny-new M3 and the shiny-new Fleet Services. 800x600 September_2006_010.jpg |
