Seeing as the Moto Corse cafe is now open we'll be stopping there around 12.00ish, not the airfield.

Me too. I'll wait in the large layby on the A303 immediately before the sharp left turn off to the A30 towards Yarcombe.
Will probably abandon ship on the homeward loop at Bishops Lydeard so as to visit one or other of the daughters in Taunton or Wellington.
What time are you leaving Tiverton?

So, if leaving Tivvy @ 10.00 hrs and as it's about 32 miles to aforesaid layby (Max's Cabin cafe EX14 9NE above), I'll be there from 10.30 hrs on.

Weather looks okay up to late afternoon. In case it worsens please check here Saturday morning in the unlikely case I pull the plug.

I've doubled booked a date with a Tiger Tank so I'll see you guys another time.

Phoned them and Moto Corse will not be open tomorrow so it will be the Airfield cafe around 12.00.....and if they're not open the Ugly Duckling cafe in Shaftesbury is an option.

Phil, will see you at the Max's Cabin layby, I guess 10.35...
Fozz, will see you at the airfield 12.00ish, probably more like 12.15, maybe, perhaps...

Anyone else coming out to play before the rain starts up again later in the afternoon???

Brian, just got the all clear on my covid bout so see you at Tiverton (Morrisons) at 0945.

Good news Roy See you in t'morning.

Bad news for me, got to go into work for few hours tomorrow, sorry, have a good one.

Four greyones had a fun time - moi, Phil, Roy and Alan. Nice new teashop found. The Ugly Duckling in Shaftesbury where we discussed the merits and pitfalls of fitting car tyres to mo'bikes like what some do over in Americal

Big thanks to Alan's and Phil's local knowledge when my satnav threw another wobbler in Dorset. I knew where the Sun was in the sky so could have got us where we were going eventually

Thanks to Brian for planning and leading a proper 'Highways and Byways' rideout today. It was nice to explore the roads in a different county for a change. As Brian said, the Ugly Duckling cafe in Shaftsbury town was a nice find too - and the weather gods smiled on us so there was nothing not to like. Roll on the next one . . . . . . . .

Great day thanks Brian for planning, some DIFFERENT roads Thanks Phill and Roy for the company agreed the ugly duckling really good find
Until the next one

Sounds like you all had fun

Yup, 'twas a good day . Hope you lot are having a great time at Portimao; make the most of it, there's nowt much worth rushing back for here - except of course another SWB rideout .

Great ride Brian. Thanks for the company of the greyones and no rain.
