Welsh Steptoe Garin will likely come along. We will just be back from the Pyrenees with knackered tyres a few days before. Uk roads feel like ice after riding on shell grip and 30+ tarmac temp in the mountains so I hope it's dry.
Always assuming we haven't drowned Garin canoeing in the Ardeche as he can't swim. He is sharing a Canoe with Big Mick who promises to look after him. |

Sounds good to me, day before my wedding anniversary so I could use the trip to Mine head to buy her something special maybe some chips or a cuddly toy.

Roundswell meet ? I haven't a Scooby on the place names but bear with .... South Molton via back road > up onto Exmoor via back road to towards Exmoor. Turn right onto road that has a mega tight bend that jumps up on you ? Onto oldyworldy village where you cross stone bridge over river... onto dunster road and up to Minehead. All day fat boy brekky at Minehead, take the piss out of Dave's seat Back via Porlock etc.

Any more!!! Petrol stations in South Molton, Minehead or Tivvy (if we went that way from South Molton). We could go From South Molton out on the Witheridge road to Tivvy then out to Black Cat and on to Dunster then Minehead. Adds some miles but all good ones.

Dave you will always have a pink seat from now on , be it physically present or not, it's the law.
It's a bit like Garin being Welsh (which he isn't) but he always will be because we decided Garin is a Welsh name (no idea if it is or not) and Stu will always be an ex copper. |

I met Pete at Castle Combe last year with Stuart & what a smashing bloke he was too! Great to talk to, helpful & a rest laugh. He helped us get Stu through the sound test & took the time to tell MrsR his tales of plumbing! Great we are marking his passing in this way. |
