I considered it. Then decided to purchase the camping kit. Decision I'm sure I will greatly regret 
I look forward to meeting you Emilio, I still remember the great advice you gave me when we did our six week road trip down to Puglia and Sicily a few years ago, I owe you a beer.I considered it. Then decided to purchase the camping kit. Decision I'm sure I will greatly regret
I'll be the one with the funny accent.
Long range forcast isnt stellar 
I am currently enjoying 5 
️️️️️ accommodation and Michelin dining, touring around France this week on the mighty K, in the blazing sunshine 
taking in some of Europes finest roads.
………so the prospect of getting back to the UK next week, loading up the GS and then camping in a muddy field in Oxfordshire with some miserable old blokes for a couple of nights is just what’s needed to make me remember to always “keep it real”

No probs Andrew
Thank you , looking forward to it.
Looks like we have a great crowd
There is a lot to do and see the this area. Last year TJMouse led us on a great ride out, taking in some excellent roads and pretty villages.
I’d be keen to do something similar again, a different circular route. I would recommend that we plan to stop for lunch at the Cirencester bikers cafe / classic showroom which was a bit of a highlight last time. In the end we needed a hot extraction, because numerous bods felt their credit cards twitching…
If we stop there, it also gives anyone keen for the afternoon brewery tour the chance to straight-line it back to Hook Norton while the others take a lazier route.
Does that make sense? Any other suggestions? Any local guides??

Sounds like fun.
Weather is looking better than it was a few days ago.
I’m thinking Beemer if it’s wet, Guzzi if it’s ok, and I’ll just put up with a little discomfort if it’s a long ride. It wasn’t built for comfort
Who’s sorting the ride out?

I’m in full agreement with Paul about CTL cafe/ bike place. Well worth another visit.
There’s also Gilks cafe as either an alternative or as an ‘as well as’. Only about 30mins from the gate hangs high. More auto-memorabilia themed cafe than anything bike specific, but a nice enough place, although I’ve only been the once.
I think it was TJMouse who led the ride out last year starting from CJT’s as it’s all local to him. I reckon we need his services again.

Unless someone with local knowledge steps up, I will plot a route and share it.
Sorry life’s got away from me recently- happy to review / help you with this
Hey, thanks that would be great.
. Can’t beat local knowledge.
Useful things -
Previously we have gravitated from the pub to a kind of gin-gan-gooly around a fire (if anyone in a 4 wheeler could bring such a thing) or just around the tents - so a camp chair and a bottle or 6 pack of your favourite tipple will come in handy.
