Bristol Clique - Chew Valley Drive and Breakfast

[banther]

There are a few of us in Bristol now that are of the non mong variety and it would be good to meet you all.

Just trying to get some ideas for a drive and late breakfast event on a Saturday or Sunday in June.

Initial thoughts for driving locations;

Chew Valley
Over the Mendips
Photo opp at Cheddar gorge

There is a nice cafe at Chew Valley lakes called Lillypool Cafe (http://www.lillypoolcafe.co.uk/) that would be good for a stop off.

As you can tell, loose ideas at the moment but if there is some interest I will plan routes and go into more detail.

As an initial suggestion I will say 22nd June meet at 8.30am.

Please register your interest and suggestion.

21st would better for me. Mrs is at Ascot so i'd be free from my ball and chain.

 

[Cub.]

That is the weekend after Le Mans, so Mr Potato will still be in France trying to find his way home without his passport or any clothes.

If it was later in the day, I may make the trip SW way....I have a dinner party the night before so will be too intoxicated to drive early in the morning.

Absolutely fine, just a marker in the sand. I'm completely free the whole weekend.
Cub. would the Saturday morning work for you? Although you're not strictly Bristol clique so you're not a priority.

 

[Matt W]

I'll pop over if allowed...

 

[Cub.]

I'm only coming to break up the clique.

I'll have to check, Mrs Cub won't love the fact I'll have spend 5 days over the prior weekend drunk and watching cars race around, only to leave her to prepare for the dinner party. I'll see how brave I feel

 

[banther]

Haha of course!! I'm only joking.

The Bristol clique is non existant.

Man up, pussy 'ole

 

[Lawro]

Sounds awesome but I am in Marbella until the 23rd..

 

[banther]

OK.

How do the early weekends in June work for everyone?

It might useful to detail the dates you can do in June then we can match accordingly.

 

[Wrighty.]

I may be up for this if that's alright it would be good to meet a few people from here!

 

[Lawro]

First weekend of June is FCS, 2nd and 3rd weekend's are a no go for me due to holiday but I could do the last weekend or June? 29th?

 

[banther]

[Jamie86]

I have no idea when I am free but will try and come along, guess I should take the winter wheels off of the civic now

 

[banther]

Right - @Lawro sorry but I think you may have to miss this one!!

21st seems good for me, @TomSx
Matt W @Wrighty @Jamie86 does the 21st work for you?

Once we settle on date I will plan.

 

[Wrighty.]

I probably will be mate, I expect I will be having my ear chewed about watching the World Cup in the pub for the whole holiday!

We will sort something out mate.. I will get the 80 grit ready.

 

[Matt W]

21st is fine!

 

[Carbonraider]

I'm up for coming to meet a few of you. Will there be a bristol convoy to fcs albeit only 30min drive away.

 

[_Tom]

This still happening?

 

[banther]

Lol - I completely forgot!!!!

I'm up for it - anyone else?

We settled on 21/06.

Where is a good meeting location for people?

 

[McGherkin]

Am I suitably Clique? (Having to ask means no IIRC)

[banther]

I imagine this is going to be a very small meeting as such.

Just an excuse to go for a drive!!

I'm not looking forward to being left in the dust!

 

[Lawro]

Have a good one! Hope it's raining.

 

[banther]

Come along then you f**king flannel.

I've got 21 years of swirl marks to drive you mad with :evil:

Lol! I am not in the country mate or I would have come, 100%!

Next month for sure.

 

[banther]

We'll see how s**t this one is before arranging another.

Please bear in mind peeps that this is not a "meet" just a few people going for a drive and having some foodz.

Need to get the plan rock solid now!! Off to Google Maps I go.

 

[McGherkin]

What do you think we do at the Barn Owl? I know what you mean though.

 

[banther]

What do you think we do at the Barn Owl? I know what you mean though.

I've no idea!!

Weird that I used to go there all the time as my sister is a partner at Ashfords over the road!

Yeah - this shall be a rather lax affair. It is a Saturday after all.

I'm off on hols for 2 weeks on the Monday so I'll be in maximum chilled out mode.

 

[McGherkin]

Relaxed suits me.

 

[banther]

Can someone please tell me how to copy a google map into here?

 

[banther]

OK chaps.

So - I would like some solid figures on attendance (I know my organisation is poor).

We have (at the moment) 3 options;

Fosse Way;



A369 taking in Chew Valley & the Mendips;



Or something a bit more adventurous going up to Brecon (subtle changes can be made to the route as necessary).





I am keen to really pin this down now. So @TomSx @Carbonraider @McGherkin Matt W Cub. (I doubt you're attending what with Le Mans madness) Wrighty. Jamie86 what time can you do on Saturday? I'm thinking now push it later in the morning and stop off somewhere for lunch and 1 Beer? I will find a suitable venue dependent on route.

Any preferences? Something I've missed off? Good routes?

s**t son, Windows 95?

Ordering or downloading?

Moving on, I'm happy with whatever route.

 

[banther]

Lol.

It'll probably just be you and me so tell me you caaaaaant!!

Unfortunately Lawro. is too busy fingering some rotten crotched E'd up Geordie over in 'Bifa to grace us with his presence.
