Dorset Dawdle

[bob the planner]

We have not had a south west-ish trip for a while.

I am proposing a short dawdle (60 mls) around some of the best roads in east Dorset on February 16th (West Dorset to follow later in the year). The route will start/finish in Poole however the exact route is still to be tweaked by a dry run or two assisted by DennisTheMenace.

Lunch will be at Lulworth Cove with an opportunity to walk, YES walk, to Durdle Door (does that make it Dawset Dawle to Durdle Door, or is that too much aliteration ?). We will also visit such historical places as Tolpuddle, of martyrs fame, and Corfe Castle.

Sounds good Bob, can I come in the Dutton or you lookin' for Trevs only?

[John A]

I should be up for that. I'll stick it in the diary now.

Simon,

It open to all PHers. Come along in whatever you have handy - push bike if you like although you may get left behind a tad. The more variety the better !

We were going to do the ferry - is there something we should know?

I will be up for a trip to Poole, will be in touch closer to the date, looking forward to bringing my new toy out for a spin (not literally I hope!)

Only that its out of action at the moment. Should be back for New Year. The ground clearance is not the best however I have spoken with a couple of S owners who have had no problems (and I think the S is about the lowest ground clearance, I stand to be corrected though).

I'll talk to the Mrs, Bob. I'd love to support your event. Sounds great. Some driving. Some things to do. A place for lunch. Excellent.

I'll post with a definite a.s.a.p.

Might head down Dorset way the night before and stay somewhere more local to the start....

[AJLintern]

Sounds good We always went to Dorset for our holidays so I know there are lots of great roads and interesting places round the Isle of Purbeck. Particular favourite is the 'Square & Compass' at Worth Matravers

[the Wiz]

Talking of the start - we are we starting exactly?

Don,

The Bankes Arms at Studland is reputed to be good. They advertise in Sprint (page 57 in Dec issue). I will let you know more first hand as the Dorset TVRCC are there on the 5th Jan (for a walk to Old Harry Rock).

Route to be finalised after the new year, however the start will probably be at Upton Park, with the finish at Sandbanks for the beach.
