Will be on duty the next night for 4 nights so a no from me, hope to drag my sorry ass out for rttb though.

I'm in from tivi, 0830 start.
See you there Brian.
Petrol is still only £1.219/litre in Chard.
Got to be one of the cheapest fill ups in the country, and it's enroute.

Have a lie-in Roy, and bring 21 litres for me at 1000 hrs in Smileys @ Honiton .

Yes,considered it---the lie in, but Brian needs supporting (he's just had to cancel a recent trip) and I enjoy the route over the top to Tiverton too much . At that time in the morning (0730 Sunday) the roads will be empty.
Perhaps you could pick up in Chard, then you could fill up at Tescos.

Roy! You know me better than that - I'm Mr Lie-in! And I'll be filling up at Honiton Tesco - paying the extortionate sum of £0.01 per litre more than Chard - a price worth paying if I'm to enjoy my first breakfast of the day at home first!

And if you lot are late at Smiley's I'll be having my second there .

See you at Smileys for 10am Phil.

WEATHER

IFthe forecast is wrong and the Friday/Saturday stuff hasn't cleared off.....well I don't want to ride in gales and terrorential rain...

so please check in here to see if I pull the plug before setting out Sunday morning

Anyways, fingies crossed we'll get out to play as planned

Our weekend plans have just been cancelled so I'm hoping to join you guys, I'll tag on at Chard if that's ok.
Which way are you coming through Chard Brian?

Proposed route from Langport, through Ilminster and Chard to Smiley's café at Honiton :-

So that's coming from Ilminster on the A358 and out on the A30 to Yarcombe. I reckon 09.30 at Chard. See you there Rich.

Cool, I'll aim to be at the lay-by bit as you leave Chard, which is actually a junction at the old toll house.

Yer tiz Brian: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Old ... -2.9779621

See y'all at 1000 hrs at Smiley's, and it'll be fine, the sun always shines on the righteous, and people from Ottery

First 100 mile loop:-

I reckon more likely times to meet are, the toll house at Chard about 09.45 and Smileys at Honiton about 10.10

Second 113 mile loop:-

Stopping for fuel in Crediton will be 114 miles from the start.
I reckon on 5 hours in the saddle, will we want a lunch stop or just coffee and my pee stops

If we do a lunch stop, depending on time either The Fisherman's Cote at Bickleigh or the Devonshire Dumpling at Morchard Road?????
