Hi all,

Other than the regular meet near Bristol airport, I don't think I've attended a meet since the Midnight run back in June! Mainly because, I don't think there have been very many organised.

So I thought it was about time that we did something!

This Sunday, the weather (according to accuweather and the (not so) faithful BBC forecasts) is meant to be dry on Sunday morning.
So I propose that we meet at the Lillypool Café (BS25 1RQ), http://www.lillypoolcafe.co.uk/index.html, at a leisurely 1000am, and then at around 1115am head towards Cheddar, and up onto the Mendips (for a different routing to my normal runs!) to finish up at The Old Inn in Congresbury http://www.rampubcompany.co.uk/visit-pubs/show/100... (BS49 5DH), which will be opening at around the same time as we arrive (midday). So if anyone fancies more food, or something to drink and a chat, they can gorge themselves to their hearts content!

So, who's in biggrin

I cant commit at the moment as I am pretty stacked out with work and having just moved. But, I will put a reminder on my calendar to come back and make a decision on Saturday.

Thanks for trying to get something organised....

There's a 205 GTI meet at cheddar tomorrow at about 11, with a drive out to a pub afterwards, so don't forget to wave as you drive past!

You happy to go still? I am if you are? Quiet runs are often better.

Very nice! Braver man than me if you drove that. Fun no doubt biggrin
Was it hard to get into the country? I thought 7-esque cars were impossible to get in the states due to crash safety stuff.

I might still come along but not sure if I'll do the whole run.

Providing a biker is still welcome of course? It was mighty fun last time!

I should have enough time to be there at 11 and tag along just for the drive, just so you know if anyone wonders why I'm just sitting in the car; most likely won't bother bringing my wheelchair as I'm not eating, so I won't be able to get out (plus weight reduction helps winkdriving).
