Isnt it time we darn south met up more often for a brew and piece of lush cake and a few scenic back roads...and maybe a dip the feet in the channel..

Suggestions?...

Yep i'd be up for a Bimble , would be good to meet some of the more local members too !!

I'd be up for that as well, so as no one has actually proposed a date, how about Sunday 25th of August, meeting at Compton Abbas Airfield at 10:00 for 10:30. I'll lead us off to somewhere in Dorset where there is cake, by some decent back roads. I have to ride up from Dartmouth, hence the later start.

Any takers?

Okay im in on that sure zigzag is open now and also fuel available at tesco in shaftesbury near by...

Anyone traveling from southampton area i can do a back road route to the meet point, say depart ower services around 9am ish meet in service carpark...im on a black xt660z....

i have friends arriving from OZ on the 25th but sure my mrs can sort them out untill i get home......unless shes arranged for me to do the airport run,
Tramp im in Shirley so ill tag along with you from Ower if thats OK

Right all I can say is what a twat I am apparently our guests get here on the 23rd & it’s one of their birthdays on 25th & we are all going somewhere then out for a meal so I have to bail on this unless I can wrangle a way out of the daytime part

Following a quick PM chat, it's been suggested I post a plan. So the plan is to meet at Compton Abbas airfield by the Cafe at 10:00 for 10:30 then have a bimble down to west bay on various backroads of my choosing trying to avoid the worst of the BAnk Holiday traffic. I know a few reasonably interesting routes, so that should be ok.
I'm on A CRF 250 Rally with a brown sheepskin seat cover.

That should do it for now.
