Club 80-90 Forums

Failing confirmation about this weekend from CJ, a number of us plan to go to Postwood Gardens campsite (Kentisbreare/Cullompton) anyway.

Please let us know here if you are interested in coming along.

Hopefully CJ, Kat, Freddie & Fern will be able to make it too, so to maintain the tradition of this excellent Syncro meet we should make it happen again and failing any new routes, drive an assortment from previous years (mainly fluffy ones, in deference to CJ's naming convention )

As some will know, just a drive up through Exmoor itself on roads is a wonderful experience, so we could pencil that in for the Sunday, as a relaxed sightseeing tour for those staying on for the Sunday night. there really are some lovely remote and ancient spots up there, just waiting for a few campers to pull over, brew-up and partake of a cream tea somewhere

Rough itinerary:
Thurs - arrive if desired
Friday - arrive
Friday evening - Dine at campsite (we are currently trying to plan something special, if so details later)
Saturmon - Others arrive early
Saturday - Drive out on known routes/lanes/tracks - return circa 6-00pm
Satureve - (Optional) Walk to Kentisbeare Inn, beer/food etc, walk back, resume drinking and stargazing tradition
Sunday - Free morning. After-noon, drive out to Exmoor and some easy lanes and beauty spots. (pre-planned)
Suneve - More beer, feed yourselves, homegoers depart
Monday - Stayovers welcome (plenty of local places to go see)

Costs: Jackie charges per unit per night (all included) of £10 now, but I think there might be a concession for us Syncronauts of maybe £2/night. Will check.

For those who've not been before, it's a nice sheltered campsite with excellent toilet block and hot showers that'll blow you away if you're not careful

Sounds good Clive, should be up for that. Know some nice places on Exmoor suitable for a group parking, relaxing by the river.

Great Simon,

Mark & Lynda showed us a lovely and very ancient spot there a while ago, with a couple of fording splashes nearby - and we also like the cream teas at the Valley of the Rocks (after a quick scramble up to burn a few calories), yum yum!

Between us, we hopefully can plan a really good afternoon's touring around, without any tight deadlines to be anywhere particular, at anytime

What was the book?

oh bugger that is my birthday weekend and we have arrainged suff to for the wekend. oh well next time, enjoy yourselfs envery one.

Sounds good ! Count me in.

I promise to behave on the CB as well..

No go i,m afraid

Yep Count me in

Hopefully Thursday night on

Have a great weekend .. by then we should have our toes in the clear blue waters of the Adriatic ....

unfortunately will be also be partaking of the warm waters of the adriatic (if all goes well) but have a great weekend guys

Maybe chaps. Van is legal but no interior. Could do with a target though.

Really wanted to do this one but I can't see myself getting the van back on the road by then - should probubly have a go at that next month though.

I'll have to hope its on next years calender too.

Yes, I will be there minus Julia for a change as she is doing a 26 mile moonwalk around Plymouth, As I have not heard from you Clive I presume you do not need me to check out the proposed route.
Look foward to seeing all that can make it

Ah sorry Roger, memory

I've replied in Syncro Committee

Sorry clive, but will be in Amsterdam now with the syncro. Have a great weekend, the lanes are real fluffy and muddy at the mo.

Simon.

I plan to arrive Thursday, probably do a bit of cycling on Friday.
Grateful for any suggestions of places worth visiting/routes - 40ish mile round trip from Kentisbeare.
