D&C Pre Christmas Dartmoor run 12 December!!!

[honestfreddie]

Hello all, As your all aware Dave is away in New Zealand and has ask me to organise a run for December so here it is.

The aim is to meet up at Exeter Services (for those in Devon) and Bodmin Parkway (for those in Cornwall) at 10.00 and head for Endsleigh Garden Centre for 11.00. Then a run across the moors to Princeton, and the Two Bridges for lunch.

This will be the last meet before the old man with the white beard comes hurling down your chimneys and the last of 2004 so let’s make it a good one.

[Corin Denton]

Sorted!

Well done guys,we're up for the run. Corin's got a point, someone needs to book this time of year. Just Trouble and others tried Sunday lunch at Two Bridges this time last year.........No chance. I think we ended up trying 4 other pubs before we ate. Iv'e done Corin's sugested route, [posted on a previous thread] and its a great run, providing the sheep stay off the road. Someone needs to get on the phone.zz

[serby]

I'll be there! (subject to car being back from Peninsula) looking forward to it!!

Dartmoor Inn at Merivale is good as well. I'll be there at Endsleigh on the 12th after my trip to the Caribbean!

[timelord]

Excellent I,ll get the tardis fired up to transport us to Bodmin and beyond.

[Corin Denton]

Definate choice of eatery and indicative numbers would be good then, HF are you going to take care of any bookings or do you want me to sort anything?

Rough numbers..

Corin x 2
Serby x 1
HF x 1/2
ZZ x 2
Geoff x 1/2
JWT x 1

Could folks try and confirm whether they will be bringing partners passengers or if they know of anyone else going? I'm sure if we are one or two out it won't be a problem, when it gets to extra tables, it could cause problems being Chrimbo and all that malarky!

[sgrimshaw]

We're both planning to be there.

Does depend on the Saturday plans, but for now "count us in"

Honest Freddie, why are you only bringing a half? Whats her name and is she old enough? Is she the twin sister of the other half that Geoff's bringing? Too confusing Corin, obviously you know something that we don't know.zz..........

It’s not that confusing. Like a constipated mathematician I managed to work it out with a Pencil.

However there is no hope of getting into the Two Bridges, so has anyone got any other ideas??

HF, jwt obviously knows this inn. Give them a bell..zz

[Corin Denton]

Plume of Feathers is good but that also gets busy???


Edited to say: It might be worth phoning anyone on route tomorrow to try and secure a booking.

After much ringing around we are booked into the Rugglestone Inn Widecombe-in-the Moor for 1pm So a nice pre lunch
, followed by some great food and maybe a little drink to get us all in the mood.

BUT remember, its that time of year not to much and you might find youself getting a pull from , which will mean a visit to see the , and it will all end in

Going to be a steady day for me next Sunday anyway, new boots all round on Saturday. Coupling that with the winter roads could make for some interesting driving!

[zz top]

Well done HF, Rugglestone's great. See you next Sunday...zz

Sorry to hear that John, I would say 'hope its nothing to serious' but being in Blackpool means it must be.
