Meeting point 2
This will be the upper most carpark of Cheddar Gorge at 12pm. Once everyone's gathered, we'll head off over the Mendips for a bit of a and end up at the bottom of Burrington Combe.

Lunch
After a blat around the Mendips we'll finish in the Burrington Freehouse at the bottom of Burrington Combe at 1pm. There's a large carpark at the front, but if it fills up, there's plenty more room in the neibouring garden centre's carpark.

I'll be up for that.

[flooritforever]

Count me in. I don't know the mendips that well though, so if I'm late it's cos I'm lost.

[Guillotine]

so long as me cars back! nice little bimble to check for glitches!

[agent006]

Might well be, depending on what i'm doing the week after.

[Mon Ami Mate]

I'm up for that. There's a great pub in Blagdon with a large car park...often stop there but can't think what it's called (in the narrow section on the right as you head out of Blagdon towards Churchill).

[dazren]

Sounds good. Better check the proposed activities of the local scameraship though.

Sudden thought with regard to the venue - how about the pub at the bottom of Burrington Combe?

Good call! Not been there myself but it's got a large carpark and if we're really pushed for space we can park further up the Combe Also gives us a chance to blat down Burrington

With regards to start points I was thinking of having two. Start point one could be Sanders Garden World on the A38 at say 11am:

Easy to get to for those coming up/down the M5. Then have another meet up point a little later (say an hour ,so 12pm) in one of the upper car parks in Cheddar Gorge. Then up the Gorge and blat around the roads along the top and back down Burrington for lunch about 1pm.
