Weather looks ok for Friday so, anyone fancy a mooch down to West Bay for tea/coffee/cake/buns/chips?

Leaving Wincanton Morrisons 10.00am route will be; Sherborne - Dorchester - Weymouth - West Bay - Beaminster - Crewkerne - Yeovil - Wincanton.

Anybody coming from the West and fancy meeting in West Bay for a natter and a catch-up we'll be there by midday.

seems like a few runs on Friday, must be good weather, watch out for grockles and coppers.

Yep, popular for 'bunny' and 'egg' runs.

Weather is looking good for Fri but a bit grotty thereafter. Sorely tempted but not sure if the hypothermia has fully dissipated.

Could be tempted to give the Superduke an outing if the weather's good..

Forgot its a bank holiday. I'm self-employed so I've just made an executive decision..

Stinker, do you know the back road to Beaminster through Broadwindsor?
Bridport to Beaminster road can get quite busy. Go to the bottom of town (Bridport) and turn right to Salwayash and Broadwindsor. At Broadwindsor first right to Beaminster.
Its only a short detour but once clear of Salwayash there's a some nice bends and switch-backs and usually not much traffic.

Thanks Gimlet. If you are joining us then we can follow you☺

Will try and get along, if only for chips, a natter and trying to keep up in the second half of play .
Good shout from Gimlet re' getting to Beaminster; here's a further suggestion: from the centre of Beaminster, consider taking the B road northeast that picks up the Toller Down road (A356 Dorchester/Crewkerne), then pick up the original route to Yeovil at Misterton? It's pretty well guaranteed light local trafic only.
Let's for some half decent weather.

Excellent Phil. We'll best off parking near the pub so see you there.
