Sunday 7th February weather permitting.

Cancelled due to high Emissions

My chim hasn't been out since September 2008, all being well should be back on the road Feb 1 MOT booked.

The plan is to tank-up at Roundswell
  • Appledore quay carpark 9.15 away by 9.30
  • Torrington
  • South Molton , anyone know if the pannier market carpark is open for parking Sundays? might need to tinker.
  • Bish Mill to Tiverton via Rackenford
  • Tiverton Morrison's (more checks)
If all is well by the time I hit Tiverton
  • Up Canal Hill to Willand
  • Lunch
  • A361 to Roundswell services
  • Home
Round trip approx 100 miles

Support welcome

The offer is there to all comers, the route I have chosen is because it should be quiet, more chance of meeting a tractor. If youve got the time just turn up at any point along the route.

I might be up for this, depending on a few things on or near the day.

Hi Tom, sorry its taken me so long to get back to you. Chances of my FRP coming out are very slim at the moment. With all the salt and grit on the roads I doubt it will see daylight until June. Seeing what the salt has done to Samantha`s car exhaust. The roads will have to be washed clean by the rain and dried by the sun, so thats about 1,000,000,000/1

cheers
Paul

Hi Paul.
Come on, most the roads I will be using haven't seen salt for yrs & you could always take the back roads home, Sampford Peverell, Halberton, Tiverton, Longdrag Hill Witheridge, South Molton, Filleigh. Plus there's this chap at work with a Duke that would be very surprised if you did come out to play. C U Soon.
