Thank you!
Is probably a good start for anyone reading this mini guide.
This is a guide to the new format in which I am looking to get the magazine delivered quickly and efficiently.
The magazine enjoys great support from the Parish in its distribution and is very grateful for the support.
Having done all the rounds myself at some point I am aware of how long each takes and the peculiarities of some houses in the parish.
This guide aims to break the delivery up into 1 to 1.5 hour rounds and then describe / log the peculiarities of each round.
If while doing a round you think of more things to add that might aid a fellow deliverer next time then please let me know.
So thanks again for you support.
Regards
Richard Wray

Starting at Fountain House, make your way up Wappenham road. There is no path on this side for most of the way but grass verges and gardens suffice.
At (1) you will see a builders yard. I the corner of which is a gate that takes you to the back of the row of three cottages. This is where their letter boxes are.
You will have to return to the other side of the road for a short while after delivering to the new houses just above the builders yard. The path starts again shortly and you end up at Field way.
Halfway down the row of cottages on the right hand side is a curious letter box but with no front door to the cottage. This is a valid delivery, it is just that the front door is on the other side.
Between Field way and Cross Lane there is a house that is actually behind the village notice board that can easily be missed.
Cross Lane is fairly simple although the very last house at the end has a big dog and no safe place to leave the magazine, so I generally miss that one out or delivery two to a neighbour.
As you continue round this side of the road (again there is a short section with no path so you have to jump sides again) you will come to what seems the end of this side (4). But is not, there is a driveway down the
side of the very last house that actually leads to several more houses that are between Cross Lane and Wappenham, Road.
Time now to cross over and start the return journey. Along the way there are many side streets (5). So start with everyone on Lukes Close, not missing Lukes farm house.
There are three relatively new houses up another steep driveway next to
Lukes Farm house.
Keep going until you reach Wrightons Hill. Please do not deliver to the box at the of this driveway for Hill House. That gets delivered to the actual house on another round.
Please return any excess copies you have back to me at 2A Station Road.
Thank You!
