Anyone interested in an informal Griff, TVR, Classic, bike or whatever you turn up in/on gathering at Bodiam Castle, Sussex ?

Its an ideal meet up place , great drive down/up there and there is plenty of Grass parking, ideal for a picnic, (or champers if you are a Banker), only £2.00 entry fee ( car park, not the amazeing Castle ) and the Pots of tea and corrot cake in the cafe is delicious!!! Clean Kaaaazis too!!!

Always a selection of "our" type of Cars/Fast Bikes parked up there and the Morgan Club seem to use it regularly (No dont laugh , someone has to drive one) .

Anyone interested ?

Its aprox an hour and a half journey for me , but well over 2 houres last w.end as the traffic was terrible.

I'd be up for it, either drag out the Griffith or the Elise, if I can persuade the gf. Be about an hour-1.5 hour run for me.

Just need to know in advance, what day.

Hi Guys , Griff is haveing a new front wheel bearing fitted today at my Garage and as long as they get it done with no probs ( hope i have the correct bearings ) then Bodiam on Monday is a goer.

Anyone else interested. ? Probably aim to get there for about 11 am, but subject to the Traffic , which was horrific last weekend.

Cool, all I need to do is get the ok from the GF, should be ok as she's up for getting out and about this weekend.

I'll probably be coming the scenic route down the A21, near J5 on the M25.

Exelent, picked her up earlier and what a difference a new wheel bearing makes.

we need to talk before then to sort out a rough time etc and an idea of who/how many can make it

Hi Guys , i will be at Bodiam Castle this monday late morning ( ime allways late) if anyone fancies an informal Griff, tvr, classic, bike or whatever get together.

G/F should ? be with me , so prob wont be able to talk Griffs etc all day for fear of getting my ears chewed ( hope she doesnt read this) .
From the Bridge , Bodiam is about 45 mins with a clear run, but the traffic was awfull last w.end. It is easy to find and is situated aprox 10 miles North of Hastings on the Southbound A.21.

When you turn off towards Bodiam , be carefull on this stretch of road, as its easy to go too fast and there are several tight , blind bends and hidden entrances.
When you turn into the Entrance, the pay kiosk is directly in front of you and its £2 to get in.
As you drive past the kiosk , the main gravel car park is in front of you, but slightly over to the left is the large grass car park. This is allways/useually ? open, so head there and i will be there somewhere! (Starmist Griff)
The Castle is well worth a look round and there is a good film show which tells the very interesting history of the place.

You couldn't make it tomorrow (Sunday) instead? Got my Griff back from TVR Power (Taraka upgrade) yesterday. Need to put some miles on it, but can't do Monday. I'm only 20 mins from Bodiam.

Would be good to see a few more 'classics'.

I can probably do Sinday providing it's not raining. Monday is not that good for me.
