Looking forward to this one now.

I read on hols that wet weather is predicted to descend upon the country from about 9th September. Typical.

Still, I'll get to try out my new waterproof oversuit that I bought in the spring and haven't worn yet

Would a Travelodge do. It's about a mile away from the start point.

Just want to check that the start point hasn't changed before I book a hotel. Anyone else planning on staying at the above mentioned Travelodge on the friday night?

Okay......looks like Mogs is on leave so I've taken the liberty (care of AA Route Finder) of checking times and distances and have come up with the following suggestions based on the main ridout starting at 11:15am as per the first post in this thread.

South Wales Contigent:
Meet at Bassaleg HS, Forge Road at 8:35am (we'll tell Valleyboy it's 8:15am so he gets there on time!)

Leave Bassaleg at 8:45am and travel the 41 miles to Gordano Services, J19 M5, to arrive at 9:35am where we will meet up with........

The Bristol Mofos
Meet at Gordano Services, J19 M5, at 9:35am. Park-up in the main CAR PARK (not the lorry park

). This is right near the main service area building so I can use the bog. And get a burger.

Leave Gordano Services at 9:50am and travel the 65 miles to Tiverton Parkway Railway Station (leave M5 at J27 and take the A361), arriving at 11:00am.

Does this seem okay for everyone?

However many times you say that people will still wait in the lorry area (among the diesle spills

)....so theres a challenge. The bike bay is round by the main buiding cafe. Its not big but theres room round there.

Nothing about the ridout itself has changed for quite a while. Start 11:15am from Tiverton Parkway Railway Station. Route is the amended one found at the foot of the first post on the first page

Tim says that he can't face the trip on his Bros. I trust that you're trying to talk him out of that?

Just a reminder:

This is the route.

It is the amended route that Mogs worked out in consultation with Fizzwheel and Wild Bill. This is it. Accept no other!!!
