I've seen plod there before, although usually the same little chicane but going North and hidden from view until you are already past them. I've only been stopped twice over here, and both times let off with a warning even though both times I was told I was doing over 50.

And sorry I missed the meet, but was off island.
I think we're talking about the same spot. Out of sight heading south until a couple of hundred yards before his hunched down spot (jig in the wall). As you say, hard to see, if at all, if you are heading north. I wonder whether it was a technicality rather than generosity that saw without a booking. Not complaining!!!!

Sunday is looking chilly & overcast so could be ok?

Mines a daily driver so I'm not too concerned about getting it dirty!

I should be about on Sunday AM.

Would prefer dry weather, but as the car lives outside I'm not too fussed.

Sounds like a plan

Wind should have died down by then so no sea spray topping the wall smile

I'm out frown

My lunch guests will probably notice my absence if I duck out after the starter.

I'm around earlier for coffee, if there are any non garage queens out there?!?
