Let me explain Clive The early birds get taken to a nice Italian cafe' with ladies that are easy on the eye, for a comprehensive fry up at very good price (you know this as you were there last year ) We then go to the McDonalds (opposite the Griff) where we meet the people that think half hour more in bed is more important than a decent brekky HTH Dave

As someone who was initially confused by this when I did my first WWW a few years ago, I'll attempt to clarify...... 8:30 Sunday - those who want brekkie in the town at Roger's mates' cafe, meet at the Premier Inn, Griff roundabout and Rog will guide us into town. After brekkie he will also guide us back to the MacDonalds on the same roundabout for the start of the Rideout, where we'll meet up with those who've made their own breakfast arrangements. HTH (Clear as mud) EDIT - sorry for the repetition - Fiasco posted as I typed

Thanks for sorting Ori out guys... but i feel that he will be munching at his chosen venue, the harvester, with plastic rolls and chewy bacon...
while we scoff real sausage, bacon, ( well not M40man!) beans, egg, mushrooms, fried bread, hash browns and toast and a cuppa, (tea or coffee) all for just £4.50 each.

I can do back-marker, and I've got some HiVis vests - just need to remember to bring them. Text me on the Friday night to remind me and it's less likely I'll forget !

Have we got a start time for the Saturday bimble please ? Presuming it starts from the Griff as before. Also, there's an outside chance that we may be joined by SWMBO !! - but don't hold your breath - she's been known to change her mind before :-)

there seems to be just four for the saturday afternoon bimble.... so as long as people still want a gentle, short runaround..... how about 2.30pm, meet up at the Griff premierinn. have nothing actually planned, but can find some nice bits of road, and a coffee house at the end! can make it as short/long as people want, about 40 miles by my reckoning. returning in time for you to have a spruce up, and eat and be merry for the rest on your evening. ;D ;D

I'm easy.... If we're starting at 2:30 we could get a couple of hundred miles in - eh ?
