I'd just do the braai people. We can then square all meat and salad and wood etc easier. Also less likely to over cater too much then.
Soft southern shandy drinkers, do it again….. 4/5/6 July 2025 - DATE CONFIRMED
- Thread starter Wapping
- Start date
I'm guessing 9 30? Does somone fancy planning a sunday ride back, maybe looping inwards back around to London?
I'll have a look what i have in my MRA library. Done a bit of riding around that area, and there are some good roads.
Same for a route to/from London as i'll be coming from a similar direction too.

This is my back yard... a couple of pointers, at via 10 move it south and go through Broadwindsor, nicer road and lovely village, stop for cake/coffee at the at the Stableyard Cafe, very nice. North of route is a bit dull, but worthy, and I'd come back from Sherborne on the Cerne Abbas road (A352), a fun road otherwise through Kings Stag and Hazelbury Bryan if you want to go further east (Pub/Cafe at Kings Stag also very nice for cake/coffee). Clouds Hill and Moreton, both walled garden, TE Lawrences grave (next to garden) and the church all worth a visit... don't attempt the ford at Moreton unless on an enduro bike
. Have fun... unfortunately I'm away camping with Royal Enfield bods this weekend
Good news and bad news
Good. The bike starter problems have now been sorted.
Bad. Family issues have turned up, so I won't be in attendance sadly.
Gave my tenting stuff a shake down this weekend as well

We’ve done a few GSER days rides in that area in the past .. is the old school house tea rooms/restaurant in Moreton still open ? Or as @LOLGEOFF renamed it, “The Wasp Cafe”
And we always did the Ford crossing at Moreton at the end of the ride along the legal road through Moreton Forest
The Church is the only one in the UK with etched windows, not the common garden stained glass ..
and the chain ferry from Sandbanks to Studland allows you to say you’ve taken your awesome beast across the Sea during the ride
