Whats interesting is the pub at the bassets pole has changed hands since the last big meet - its now a very very family orientated harvester affair, and I'm not sure if the current management is totally aware that the pub and carparks will be beseiged by 300+ bikers every tuesday. We headed in and whilst werent exactly turned away, it was very clear we werent welcome for a quick half a shandy before returning home if we werent sitting down to eat.

We ended up warming our hands on mc'd coffee
