March 21- (Monthly Meet)
Our next meeting on Sunday 21st March sees us join forces with the Somerset TVRCC Region to take on the Valley of the Rocks, and some wonderful coastal roads.
Simon from the Somerset region has put together a great run which sees Team Bristol meet up at the M5 southbound Sedgemoor Services (found between junction 21 & 22) at 9am, ready for a 9.15 depart. We will then make our way to the Blackbrook Trading Estate in Taunton to meet up with the Somerset crowd. Please note: THERE WILL BE NO MEETING POINT AT THE WILLY WICKET PUB.
The route is approx. 90 miles long from the start point and sees us arriving at the pub between 1.30 – 2pm (depending on how lost Tamora Ian gets!) For those who like your grub, you might want to slip something into your bag to nibble on en route. The pub is run by a petrol head so we should expect a warm welcome!
Make sure you arrive early enough for a good old chatter and of course top up your fuel tank.
To find out more, email Sarah or post on the forum to ask any questions about the meeting.
