OK, so how do you fancy Norfolks best effort at a TT route? All we need is to add a decent venue for lunch and pick a date that suits us local and less local lads?

i am also tempted to add a bit of Great Yarmouth Sea Front to show the dustbin-enhanced Saxos' a noise or two

Mmmmmmm that loooks interesting, especially with a little sea air involved, depending on when, if it was around the time of the Rock n Roll weekenders at Vauxhall Holiday Park that would be Magic !!

April 4-7th or 25-28th not sure which to go to, used to go every year but not been for a couple of years. Great line ups and reasonable prices, caravan suite or new for this year Glamping in fancy "shed" type things.

If this fits in with your ideas, these are great entertainment but not sure if easter will get in the way !

That's a great circuit! I know nearly all those roads, but I've never strung them together into a single loop!

Why wait until Spring? it looks like a perfect New Year's day run out. In fact, I might just do it on my own if the weather's reasonable.

If you want to go posing on the seafront, that's when I would head home.

Good idea Steve, Try to stop me.....good roads which would be more fun with other S's......

For me, a Spring season warm up would be great April or May?

Yarmouth is a pain to get to, and don't know any good roads on the way

There are a few good pubs around that route as well.

I'm in.
Andy the road from Loddon to Gt Yarmouth is a classic, possibly one of the best in Norfolk.

It's a plan then.... Once Longers has announced the euro dates I'll pick a date then perhaps a couple if us could chat about the finer details one evening over a shandy? I'll see if Tim fancies passengering too

I'll let you know tour dates asap. But it'll not be before June at the very earliest so you'll be fine to do it in Spring as the title suggested.

I've got a very good mate who lives in Stowmarket which is very near your route. Let me know where you're starting from and when and I may well join you wink

Sign me in too, seen as i live on the proposed route. Great route, plenty of slowing down to 30mph to cruise thro villages, then open the beasts up round the twisty bits!!! Plenty of both on that route.

this sounds great - need to pick a date now. Votes / preferences PLEASE and I'll set it next weekend.

Sunday 16th of Feb OR
Sunday 6th of April?

meet at 10:30 for 11 am at Lynford Hall IP26 5HW (where they filmed some of Dads Army and Allo Allo (Vicky has left btw :-()

we can do the circuit and / or extend if weather makes us want to. Pub lunch to be added - just a diary choice for now?

April for me - more cars will be finished their winter work/hibernation by then...and the weather is likely to be better.

...Good warm up for Burghley House the week after as well.
