Everyone welcome, no one turned away.

The meeting point your asking about, is the texaco garage opposite the weyhill fair pub, on the Weyhill road ( A342) about 10.30/ 10.45am - all the info is in the thread .
 
Sorry, have to cry off, will be on a plane to Finland for work ;-)

Next time ... have a good ride!
 
Steptoe,
Are there any places on your route on entering Dorset that I could join in at the back of the ride, otherwise I could meet at Clouds Hill.
Thanks
 
You can join up, i know the route but couldn't tell you any place names,it's in the gps, mostly small roads.

No joining in at the back, we'll be using the drop off system, with a designated last rider. It's easy to pick up as you go along . :D

Well what a day for a ride through Dorset. Steptoe had ordered the weather especially and it was a cracking day all round. A big thanks to our tour leader :thumb

Four of us left Steptoe's place and met the next bag of GSer's at Fleet services:

Fleet Services is a great example of rip off Britain with Super unleaded at 105p and cash machines charging £1.85 to withdraw cash. I mean do they think GSer's are made of money?
Onwards to the next stop outside Andover at Weyhill:

Some miles on and its time for tea and buns in picture postcard Milton Abbas in Dorset:

And then a short diversion for U-Boat practice:

And then the Master showed how to do it, while the others took the shallow route, Tim engaged in "dive! dive! dive!":

Well of course I meant to park it here!

Stopped at the T.E. Lawrence grave to may our respects:

Neil - Thanks, great day.

Lolgeoff - glad to hear you made it home OK.

Tim - hope there is no serious damage.
 
THANK YOU

What a great day, 400 odd miles (my arse is just about recovered :ymca ) in mostly glorious sunshine and good company. Neil, thanks for taking the time to organise and lead the ride :thumb . Hopefully some photo's will follow this but I make no promises!!
 
Really sorry I couldn't make it - I'd planned to be there but ended up in the office again. Arse.

Whose was that Brough?! Ken hasn't taken his TEL admiration up a level and bought a matching bike has he?!
