It's shaping up that I'll be looking for a TEC amongst one of the battle hardened SWB troops who know how the drop-off system works - any victims ..... er' volunteers? Let me know soonest and I'll p.m. you the route.

Sorry Phil I'm out....route/destinations all a bit southerly for me at the moment and the weather forecast looks a bit dreary.
Hopefully see you soon though.
Cheers

Folks, the weather is now looking decidedly dodgy for Sunday and if tonight's forecast confirms it then It's off . BUT - the forecast looks much better for Saturday - https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2649808 . So I'll probably be changing it to then. Check out this topic tomorrow after 2:00 p.m. for confirmation.

Bugger. Wife's working Saturday and I can't leave the dog for too long. If it goes ahead on Saturday I may have to peel off midway.

I know you can't change the weather, but neither of us can do Saturday as we're working.

What about Bank Holiday Monday?

Makes no difference to us both working again. That's garden centres for you.

Sorry can't make Saturday Phil

Bear in mind that whatever day you choose, I'd avoid meeting everyone at the services at J30. The road onto Sowton Trading Estate runs off that roundabout and there's roadworks which are causing havoc, backing traffic back onto the M5. Maybe use Marsh Barton or Westpoint depending on which direction you're heading

Happy to do Saturday if it gets swapped, will check in later to see the verdict on which day and if any changes to the meeting location.

Ta for the heads up there Andy, I haven't been to the Sowton area for a while and wasn't aware. I'll be choosing somewhere else then , details here later.

Okay folks, due to potential wetness on Sunday and the fact that the brekky cafe is closed on Monday, this rideout is now tomorrow, Saturday 30th.

NEW LEAVING POINT: Ide Village Road, Just off the westbound A30, Alphington junction. There's no postcode so copy and paste this into Google maps or your satnav: 50.700707, - 3.546391 Google Maps link: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/50% ... d-3.546391

NEW DEPART TIME - 09:30 prompt so please be fuelled up and ready to go. The rest of the ride is as posted previously.

There's a Sainsburys filling station fairly near - EX2 8NH : https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Sai ... -3.5379776

My mate Jon can't make it tomorrow, but the good news is he's looking after the dog so I'm free
I'll also do TEC duties now I don't have to nursemaid him

I'll say "I'm not going for a ride on Sunday, I'm going Saturday instead".
Ooh.
See you there at 0930

Excellent! Although, depending on numbers, SWB herding may not be required . I've p.m'd you the route just anyway, just in case.

See folks tomorrow then .
