Women in Wheels: A Scenic Drive from Goodwood to The Hut - July 2024


Gathering at Goodwood


What an amazing day to meet at Goodwood Motor Circuit, 6 of us Women in Wheels gathered for a day of adventure, friendship, and driving. The excitement in the air was palpable as the ladies greeted each other with smiles and hugs, ready to embark on another unforgettable journey together.


Exploring the Saywell Track


Our day began with a wander around the Saywell Track, a renowned section of the Goodwood Circuit. We marvelled at the sleek lines of the cars and the storied history of the track, sharing stories and admiring all of the sportscars that were there. The thrill of the track day was evident as we watched some of the high-performance cars in action, feeling the adrenaline rush vicariously through the drivers, Katie started the morning off with a ride around the track in the Pink pig.

The Scenic Route: Arundel and Petworth


After our invigorating start at Goodwood, we set off on a scenic route that took us through the charming towns of Arundel and Petworth. The convoy of cars, each one driven by a passionate woman, wound its way through the picturesque countryside.


Arundel


Our first stop was Arundel, a town rich in history and beauty. The towering Arundel Castle provided a stunning backdrop as we drove through its quaint streets. The sight of the castle, with its turrets and battlements, transported us back in time, adding a touch of magic to our journey. We paused for a few moments to take in the view, snap some photos, and appreciate the blend of natural beauty and historical grandeur.


Petworth


Continuing our drive, we headed towards Petworth, another gem in the Sussex countryside. The rolling hills and expansive fields were a treat for the eyes, offering a sense of peace and tranquillity. Petworth House and its parklands were a highlight, their beauty accentuated by the golden light of the late morning sun. We took our time driving through the scenic routes, enjoying the harmony of nature and the open road.



Our scenic drive concluded at The Hut in Petersfield, a delightful spot perfect for our group. The cosy ambience of The Hut welcomed us as we parked our cars and made our way inside. The staff greeted us warmly, and we quickly settled into a comfortable corner, ready to unwind and enjoy a leisurely lunch.



Lunch, Laughter, and Bonding


Over a delicious spread, we chatted about our morning adventures, shared stories from the road, and giggled over funny anecdotes. The conversations flowed easily, touching on everything from favourite driving experiences to personal milestones. The sense of camaraderie was strong, reinforcing the bonds that make Women in Wheels such a special group.

We laughed, we connected, and we celebrated our shared passion for driving and adventure. The Hut provided the perfect setting for these moments, its inviting atmosphere making us feel right at home.


Reflecting on the Day


As we wrapped up our lunch and prepared to head back, we couldn't help but reflect on the wonderful day we had shared. The combination of exhilarating track moments, scenic drives, and heartfelt connections made this outing one to remember.


The Women in Wheels drive from Goodwood to The Hut was more than just a journey; it was a celebration of friendship, passion, and the joy of driving. As we said our goodbyes and looked forward to our next adventure, we carried with us the memories of a day well spent and the promise of many more to come.
