Touring Thebiglad's coming to UK - lock up your daughters - aaaaaargh !!

Well hello there boys and girls. This years little motorcycle outing is to the UK.

Getting the boat over on Saturday night the 16thMay to arrive in sunny Newhaven at 7am - anyone know any good cafes for a brekky between there and Bishops Waltham?

Going to bike meeting of the Idiot Collective at BW, spend some time there before moving on to Yeovil, to see Big Sis.

After that Barnstaple and more family, then Kidderminster to see pals and get filled upon excellent fish 'n chips. Feet up for a day or so, then onto Leeds to see more rellys and ride the Yorkshire Dales.

Return via Northampton for a night on the sauce, then ACE Café, then boat home.

Just a little jaunt really..................................

That would be great mate, would really like that. How far is Loomies from Bishops Finger - sorry Waltham ?

 

That would be great mate.

This is exactly what I was hoping for, being able to put faces to names.

 

I'll arrive in at Newhaven UK at 7am on the morning of the Sunday the 17th May and from there the Bishops Waltham area.

On the return trip it'll be about 10pm on Monday the 25th May.

I can't remember Jack's Hill but the Super/Giggling sausages were firm favourites, as was The Kingsthorpe Tandoori - YUM YUM !!


Dave

 

Well the ferry is booked and paid for, so it must be real .

 

Hi FB, just had a quick look and it looks like a nice place but it's going in the wrong direction.

The Sunday will be my first day in UK and I'm already planning to do a fair few miles that day as it is, so I'm not really inclined to add more. Plus I've just had an e-mail from Big Sis and it might be that I have to stay there a little longer.

She's just moved back to UK and isn't managing very well.

Families eh?

Dave

 

Looks like Loomies is going to be the first port of call Sunday the 17th May, so does anyone know if they do a good cooked brekky?

Dave

 

Well it's good that they do a good brekky, so that's sorted.

Unfortunately mate it looks like we won't be getting together though. I'm on a pretty tight schedule and will need to be near Yeovil by Sunday night, then moving on further. Damn !!!!!!

Dave

 

That's very kind of you RR. I would think it'll take about 1.5hrs from Newhaven to Loomies (66mls) so I would expect to be there by between 9 and 9:30 am.
