DodgyRog Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) CANCELLED Sunday 23rd October meet, 10am Exeter Services EX2 7HF Okay, I have been thinking about this over the weekend and thought of a short route with a possible Food Pub with a decent Car Park Menu and pub details here http://www.brewersfayre.co.uk/conten...-the-quay.html There is another pub in the area which I need to check out Drive would be from Exeter Services along the Exe river to Teignmouth and across Shaldon bridge into Torquay/ Paignton/Brixham if time and weather are favourable and then to the Pub for some food Looking date wise to do this on Sunday 23rd October, meeting time 10am Exeter Services EX2 7HF The other option is Go-Karting, but it will be a more expensive option, Sunday afternoon is Arrive and Drive according to the Website Details and prices here http://www.raceworld-karting.co.uk/ Go-Karting is now a bad weather option only if absolutely necessary on the day If it's wet and crappy, then Go-Karting is indoors, if it's nice then take the Cars for a run and get some food The planned route is only about 30 miles, so fuel costs should be minimal Plan of route, please print off the link below if you are unsure of the area Please print this link off http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=exeter+moto+services&daddr=50.708352,-3.478216+to:50.676276,-3.485834+to:50.655352,-3.4827812+to:50.61502,-3.46213+to:50.56164,-3.47755+to:50.523271,-3.5105539+to:50.4388176,-3.5584917+to:TQ4+6LP&hl=en&geocode=FfrfBQMdNCTL_yHpAXa7rXdsYg%3BFYC_BQMdOO3K_ylZktMlX6FtSDGxmV7B-E8Pog%3BFTRCBQMdds_K_ymV4pniLaFtSDExb1GyLa4OEw%3BFXjwBAMdY9vK_ym1JxJrzqBtSDGxyFGyLa4OEw%3BFexSBAMdDizL_ymdCmjUEgptSDEhr1GyLa4OEw%3BFWiCAwMd0u_K_ykjXr6y4QttSDGQJCFPQfQQEw%3BFYfsAgMd527K_ylN44uuwg5tSDGALhZQQfQQEw%3BFaGiAQMdpbPJ_ymrRkHYChBtSDGg_tpPQfQQEw%3BFUttAQMdKazJ_ymlRatlghptSDHE86UMHBhkcQ&aq=&sll=50.438843,-3.558712&sspn=0.002662,0.006968&vpsrc=6&mra=dpe&mrsp=7&sz=18&via=1,2,3,4,5,6,7&ie=UTF8&ll=50.579749,-3.475113&spn=0.33966,0.891953&t=m&z=11&layer=c&ei=Y2KgTsLPDsTg8gO4-_DsCw&pw=2 1.

Heyrick Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) We'd defo be up for something - just got back from a Pistonheads run from Whiddon Down to Bude and back which was cool, esp. chasing a 5.7l supercharged Corvette down the Atlantic Highway! (V. surprised I could keep up - it's supposed to be around 650-700 bhp!) A Saturday would be much better for us but would still try to make a Sunday meet if possible - especially if you had a start time after 2.30pm. Never tried Karting before so that'll be interesting too...

DodgyRog Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Okay, I have been thinking about this over the weekend and thought of a short route with a possible Food Pub with a decent Car Park Menu and pub details here http://www.brewersfayre.co.uk/content/brewersfayre/our-pubs/plymouth/inn-on-the-quay.html There is another pub in the area which I need to check out Drive would be from Exeter Services along the Exe river to Teinmouth and across Shaldon bridge into Torquay/ Paignton/Brixham if time and weather are favourable and then to the Pub for some food Looking date wise to do this on Sunday 23rd October, meeting time to be arranged The other option is Go-Karting, but it will be a more expensive option, Sunday afternoon is Arrive and Drive according to the Website Details and prices here http://www.raceworld-karting.co.uk/ Can anyone that is thinking of coming give me an idea of which you would prefer if you have a preference. I guess with the time of year the weather could be a major factor, so if necessary we could do either as a last minute decision, as in I organise both and we see on the day what the weather pushes us into. If it's wet and crappy, then Go-Karting is indoors, if it's nice then take the Cars for a run and get some food Edited October 2, 2011 by DodgyRog Changed the Pub (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 I might have a slight problem with doing this now, I have had an accident at work and as a result I have Acute damage to my ankle ligaments, not sure yet how long I am going to be off my feet, as it only happen yesterday and the Doc said anything from a few days to months:( I should have a better idea when the swelling goes down, hopefully a couple of days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 Still hoping to sort something on this, but just need to give me a couple of days to see if I am going to be in a cast or need surgery, meaning I can't drive I have a very fat foot and ankle at the moment:( Although the drugs are fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Well my ankle seems to be healing okay without a brace/cast Think the drive with a bit of food is the best bet for this and just a general get together, so get your names down please The plan is for the drive unless the weather is really crap, then we will have to change to Go-Karting if absolutely necessary, problem might be Jen's work, so the idea of anyone that doesn't want to hang around at the Go-Karting while we go round in circles go back to ours might not be possible, but we will have to wait and see on that bit 1.

DodgyRog Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) Not set in stone, but Exeter Services about 10am I was thinking Then have the usual chat and then head of for the drive and get to the Pub for a late diner snack about 1:30-2 so it's quiet parking wise, that's just a rough idea. We won't be rushing around and if the weather is reasonable we will try and find a few spots on route to stop for a chat and a photo or two If Blackie comes, we have to stop every couple of miles for him to have a pee anyway Edited October 20, 2011 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) Just put up a route map and a link to a full listing of the planned route, it may get a bit longer into Brixham if time and weather allows Please print off a copy from the link for yourself in case anyone drops behind, these roads can be quite busy, especially through Torquay and Paignton, so it would be helpful if everyone has an idea were to keep heading. I will update everyone before we leave the services with a few stop points on route, if you get seperated head for the next stop point Edited October 20, 2011 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
