Pickup in Jumpers Common

For the Stansted run: Jumpers Common (Jumpers) sits on the west side of Christchurch, along Jumpers Road toward Iford and the Stour. It is the neighbourhood people mean when they say they are in Christchurch but not in the old town. Pickups are residential, with easier parking than Bargates. For London we go to the A35 or across to the A338 at Iford, which is often faster than threading the town. Fairmile is next door to the north; Iford is Bournemouth’s page to the west. If your postcode is BH23 2, you are probably Jumpers or Fairmile rather than the Priory, and the meeting point should say so.
