Featured Rideout Dorset Rideout

Had a free day yesterday (the other half was at a Spa day) so I thought I would make the most of it. Weather didn't look too brilliant at first but by 11.30 am the sun was starting to show - didn't expect 24 degrees later though!

Breakfast stop as at Moto Corsa in Gillingham, Dorset. Food here is excellent and the cafe is attached to a large motorcycle dealership specialising in Moto Guzzi, MV Agusta, KTM and Royal Enfield.




The old brewery building next door has been converted into luxury flats.

Next stop Shaftesbury - joined by a nice Bonneville.



The top of Gold Hill.



Gold Hill where the old Hovis advert was filmed in the 1970's.
(@andyc1 will be along shortly to tell you that one of the houses was infamously used as a brothel in 2003)





Down to Poole next but sadly the S Bomb cafe was closed - remember "Titch" the former SBS guy who had a one off TV programme where he converted a bike for a disabled veteran? - this is his place.





Poole Quay





Rainbow Warrior III - Greenpeace sailing vessel. I seem to remember that the French sank the previous one in 1985 ( well I suppose they sank f*ck all in WWII)

 

Yes mate, a final ride around as many old haunts as I could manage!

 

Thanks Joe, I'll have to get out and about soon around the new area. Expect a few castles and ruined abbeys

 

Last Monday!
