I'm only 30 mins away from Weston - So I may join you for the day.

[raesewell]

It would be nice to have you along.

If you have previous experience with that location Rae, I'm sure it will be fine. Normally I avoid street parking with cars or motorcycles and, to date it's worked for me. Interestingly I've never thought too much about it when in Europe, I was in France last week and, whilst we used the hotel's gated car park at night, in the day I parked anywhere that we wanted to stop!

I feel that sometimes people tend to over think these things. Once when in Mons a member of our group left his keys in the bike overnight and the bike was still there untouched the following morning.

So somewhat to my surprise I have managed to join MyRoute-app, plugged in my phone to my laptop, dusted off my account at TomTom Mydrive, downloaded the routes and voila! 2 routes on my phone! Egad!  Fink I'll try hacking GCHQ for my next job...

"As this is a part of the country that you know well why not organise a trip and show us the highlights?"
Erm still at the map and highlighter pen on that one but maybe I'll give it a go. My knowledge of the area is based on trying to avoid Bristol by riding around, not planning a route electronically

[raesewell]

You might want to download the routes nearer the time Martin in case of any minor changes.

[raesewell]

Just a reminder Peeps please let me know when you have booked so I can add you to the list, and don't forget that the closer we get to the date the hotel prices usually rise.

[Phmode]

Do you not get a kick-back from the hotels then Rae?

[raesewell]

I don't know why you would even think that, let alone ask the question. How would that work if everyone is booking their own hotels and at different times.

The gov give me commission each time someone chokes to death on a Werther's Original. I've been going around care homes since the pandemic was "over" shilling the stuff. Something about population demographics.

[Phmode]

See, if Matt can earn a crust then so you can you Rae 

[TomK1300s]

Hi Rae
Booked in for the Tuesday and Wednesday coming back from another run on the Monday so can't make Monday night. Will meet you all on route Tuesday morning.

[raesewell]

Thanks for letting me know Tom, I'll update the list.

Rae,

Mere EuroKclub junior member but long term lurker on the forum here, I just noticed I've got a free few days around this time so if its ok can I join the esteemed Wrinklies for the full three days? If so I'll get the hotels booked pronto

[raesewell]

By all means, the trip is open to all comers feel free to book.
