Weekend away..??

[TON70]

Any ideas/recommendations for a nice weekend break in the Dorset area? Thinking of taking the loved one away for a few days, suppose I will have to let the wife tag along
Taking into account the need for some nice suitable roads of course!!

Well, you could do worse than head for Studland, the drive Wareham>Corfe Castle>Studland has a good combination of fast flowing sweepers and tight second gear stuff. Once you get there, there are plenty of places to stay (one of them, the Bankers Arms pub, even advertises in Sprint), the seasidy bits are OK, and then there's always the drive back!

There's a lovely Relais et Chateaux hotel called the Summer Lodge in Evershott. Bit pricey, but absolutely fantastic place...

Cheers mate, let me know what it was like...just asked for some details for the weekend I'm hoping to go...mind you the car's still in for its service...been in since last Wednesday So I might have to ask for a tent in the beer garden and offer to do the washing up

All sorted: The Worget Manor at Wareham beckons,(I know...ask for suggestions then ignore them and go for the opposite!!) Optimax is a rarity then? Advisable to plan the excursions around this problem or will I have to settle for the diluted versions???

[TON70]

The w/end away with the loved one is soon upon us..so how are we for Optimax in the fair County of Dorset?
I have noticed one or two postings mentioning only one or two garages around the area I'm staying
