Following on from lankybob's idea of a meet on the 27th, due to lack of interest we thought that maybe Saturday 29th would be a better option to hopefully attract a few more people.

So the plan will be to meet at Morrisons in Minehead (Address: Vulcan Road, Minehead, TA24 6DG) at 1130am and then head out on the following route: http://goo.gl/maps/H9K3o
Then after a nice drive in hopefully nice weather, we'll end up back at Morrisons and can go our seperate ways from there after a natter.

As its a long route it may be an idea to print out the route directions from the link above. Or mark it on your map (or sat nav for the technically minded who have a sat nav capable of having multiple via points and the ability to enter them!).

Cheers,

James.

Current list is as follows:

Exactly what I was thinking! Pretty much my favourite loop so I expect I'll come along, unless it's bucketing down smile

Indeed it does. Last year we did the same route and some people didn't like the idea of going up it, so I thought I'd leave it to people to decide if they wanted to or not. It is a great road so well worth it for those who havn't done it before!

No problem mate smile

Looks like the rain will have stopped by the time we meet up! Hopefully that'll be the case on the day!

If its on my way down then I'd be game. I have no idea where that is though!

Looking at the weather forecast it's now looking unlikely for me - the monaro just isn't fun in the rain frown

Will check again in the morning, going cabin-crazy.

Annoyingly I may not be able to make it tomorrow! I won't know until the morning though. So if I don't turn up then go on without me!
