Well thats my plans f**ked. The other D.O on the team has just booked all of April off as leave, meaning I won't get the weekend off
I'm cracking on with my diy and will be looking at some route plotting on the Garmin shortly. For your info, off reading's a tad limited on the moor these days, but i'm hoping there'll be a willing volunteer or two for leading some rides. One of my route plans will be a fords ride and the other a roadie.
For those with wobbly boxes, the roads that approach Brendon are steep, narrow and bendy. There's room on site for you but getting there could be tricky if your box is a biggun. I'll suggest that you liaise with Humbug or Prof as they both drive wobblies and have a good knowledge of the roads in the area. I've not asked if they mind proffering some helpful advice, but i'm sure they'll be happy to help. Cheers in advance chaps.
Just been up this way as SWMBO wanted to see a horse on Exmoor.
Very wet up there today and impossible to cross any fords as the rivers are deep and fast flowing. As soon as we get a dry day I will head back on the GS and start to mark out a decent ride out that include some off roading suitable for GSers, NB it will not be technical enduro/trials stuff but you will get your bike dirty.
You can clean your bike by riding across the ford at the famous Tarr Steps. There are many excellent pubs in the area and they are used to people turning up covered in mud so likely to welcome a group of thirsty tossers. I will visit several pubs for research purposes, its a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

Mrs Pj & I will be along from Fowey in Cornwall. Do we need to do anything about booking the campsite?
Might try to get down to this Rich, was off on bike upto Scotland following week, may rearrange that. I think this was a brilliant campsite when we went to your 40th and the cider/scrumpy was knockout literally from what I remember. Nice ride down into Brendan too.
