Proposed Dorset run
Discussion
Won't be the sort of run you saw on Sun morning...
Dorset is at least 50 miles away (used to live in Yeovil), and the proposed route so far, a good 80 miles at least...so no, I won't be going;
additionally, I'm not a great fan of talking about trunnions etc...
However it may appeal to some

I don't think the run will involve trunnion-talk - it's not really my thing either to be honest.
I'm confused about what you say about a proposed route? Have I missed an off-shoot thread somewhere?

Talk of coastal routes was mentioned.
Round route just to get to south coast is at least 160 miles round trip...
Edited to add: Last time we were talking of a hoon you were moaning that it was a bit too agresssive at that time for you. Unless you've decided you like 'rapid roadcraft skill building' (as it was decided it should be called) at 7 in the morning, I don't think that Will will enjoy a 160 mile round trip to just dawdle to a pub and back...

Ah right - I just mooted the coast as an option. Really depends where most peeps are coming from as to where the route goes. I'm hoping it'll be a mixture of quick and leisurely, not a 'see who can achieve the lowest MPG' blastfest.

Wow, I only return to see the remains of the family ( Stoke-sub-Hamdon ) and to watch the greatest football team the world has ever seen ( LOL ). The road between Bristol and Yeovil is well worn by now...

Is this serious? 'Rapid roadcraft skill building....'
Do me a favour I'd love to g for a blast through Dorset (without seeing who can generate the lowest MPG) - I can probably get 3 or 4 more to come along too - depending on the weather
PS - I don't even know what a trunnion is
