I had phoned to say I could make it but it's probably best to get my beastie back to Racing Green and sort out one or two little teething problems I have had,(dip beam not working and passenger door not locking) so as I can't go out at night or leave the car alone for long...... will let everyone know how good they are at sorting the problems out. look forward to getting together sometime soon. Keep me up to date with the future plans. cheers

Looking forward to it. Now...got to decide...Chimaera or Boxster. What's everyone else bringing?

Thanks for arranging things.

If you speak to a few of these that went to the Dorset TVRCC meet on the 5th (here should give you a couple of names), they can let you know what they thought of the place. I did not eat however the beer was good ! (and there is a decent fish resteraunt near the ferry).

Looking forward to seeing you.

Now on the events calendar for you to sign up.

Just added the Dawdle to my Calendar, downloaded the excellent map into my copy of Autoroute. I'mm off to scour the web for suitable accomodation.

So...why don't the rest of you sign up on the Calendar too....

Looking forward to it, Bob!

Bob.

I'm thinking of treating the Mrs to a night at Morton House Hotel the night before as its not too far from the Start point...

Any local knowledge as to its quality?

I'm seriously thinking of going - depends if it's on the same day as when I'm supposed to be helping my uncle to move his new Narrowboat from Worcester to Wolverhampton...
I would recommend a diversion via Kingston and Worth Matravers - quite a steep hill with a few tight bends and a great view of Corfe Castle at the top. The 'Square and Compass' at Worth Matravers is a great little pub and there is a decent sized carpark nearby.

I just got quote back from 'em.

Errr. Back onto google to find somewhere else.

I lurve the Missus. But they've got some Valentine's thing on and want an amount of money I can't bring my half-welsh half-scots resolve to say.

Looks like a good addition, I will try it out some time during the week - just got back from the Pub (hic!) I was aiming for nothing too tight & twisty due to possible adverse weather conditions. I have never been to Worth Maltravers so it seems like a good excuse. I will let you all know !

Bob

Edited to put some words after the quote !

I intend doing nothing which will harm the reputation of PH.

Still, best make the most of it. I hear rumours that the Sandford by-pass will now cut through there, with a big junction at Morden Cross.
