Due to popular demand (well 3 cars anyway), I propose a third Dawdle round the roads of Dorset (Well we will invade Hampshire for this one).

The proposed date is 1st June 2003. I know that Nacnud will not be able to make this date either - I just don't know why yet !

The proposed route, incorporating both Spread Eagle and ZigZag hills (Mmmmmm Zig Zag Hill ) is below .
Note this route has not been proven and may be subject to change - All comments welcome. The idea is start Upton Park (No butty opportunities Sharon ), to stop 4 times for photo ops, gather breath, lunch (and the Museum Hotel) and finish at the Coventry Arms.

What better way of ending the wait for LeMans than with another blatt round Dorset ?

Either of the car parks could have ice cream - not guarenteed though ! However we do have 2 red wine stops this time

You could have at least kept with the theme and called it the "Forth Dawdle". Tsk...

Thanks for noticing Keith. Someone had to sooner or later

PS Was thinking of Dawdle Pedwar for the next one - sort of following on from the Tree(tri) theme.
