Any Dorset/Hants members going to the Ace cafe Vette meet on the 27th and want to meet to cruise up there? Although my home patch I haven't been on the Nth Circular for years, about the time the C4 came out; it was bad back then, God knows what it is like now!

We are staying at the Premier Lodge /Inn next to The Fairmile next Friday night as that is the BBQ night there, then cruising up to the Ace via M25/M40/A40 sort of late morning.

Weather permitting I will be going M3 and A31 on my way to the Melplash Show at Bridport so will wave hello in the opposite direction on my way down.

The Melplash Show is an end of season Agriculture show, Thursday this week, animals mostly although there is arts and crafts and garden type produce for jugging. Agricultural stuff for sale and assorted side stands.
Try the coast road from Weymouth through to Bridport loads of fun if its not foggy – the best time to go to Lime Regis is after a stormy weather as it washes down the cliffs and you can have some lucky finds, most of the stuff for sale in the shops down there is imported I think from Africa. Wednesday and Saturday there is a market in Bridport, this week I think there is also a Carnival.
Have fun, free parking in lime as you go down the hill turn off to the right into a housing estate and walk down the hill back streets following the stream.

Agricultural show, fossils, market, walking? Is this really you Sam - He of Raw Meat fame? Have you "Seen The Light" or something or are you just slowing down in your old age?
