Too early (health stuff) for meet up at Exeter. Hopefully can catch up while you merrily stuffing faces. Where you eating and what time ish are you leaving after brekkers. Thanks.

This is the intended route, subject to time and weather alterations if necessary. Please PM me with any questions or post on this thread.
Look forward to seeing folk there.

As you're heading east on the A30 I'll join you from the Honiton by-pass around 8.15 a.m.-ish. If I miss you there I'll catch up at the brekkers stop, which is . . . . . . ?

Also watch for speed cameras on the 50 mph Bridport by-pass. A mate and I got our collars felt there on a Sunday in Ocotober 2018, a 'speed awareness' (ha!) camera van parked on the grass verge just down from the cafe and picnic area at the turning for Eype. Mate had the pleasure of handing over 60 beer tokens and taking a speed awareness day, I was invited to part with 100 BT's and had my licence autographed with the number 3.

In fact, thinking about it, watch out for plod throughout Dorset in general; in all my years of driving cars, trucks and bikes I've had more problems with Dorset police than all the rest of UK plod combined - fact!

As the Trumpet is now on full song after it's enforced rest period, the Bowd Inn at 8.15 a.m. of the clock it is .

The police are always out and about in Dorset on a Sunday. I was invited to a course when a camera van and a notepad holder saw be being extra cool one Sunday morning.

Dorset plod have always been keen but i had no idea they were as unfriendly as stated above, thats a lot of potential locations. They really have no sense of humour.

Plus Dorset keep any revenue from prosecutions. Other forces have opted into a national 'purse' Dorset opted out so you'll never get off a fine.

It's a fair game, we all push the limit of it most of the time, if you get caught, take it and accept it. We know the rules, we decide to break them, we can't complain when we get caught... Just saying

As I never break the speed limit I have nothing to worry about
