Hello fellow SWester Trixters.

Well at the moment the forcast is looking good for the Saturday (5th Oct), so I propose that we aim to meet at Great Torrington Common for a butty/drink/natter at 12 noon.

Looking forward to meeting new Trixters and old.
Phil.

R1200S and loving it !

No go on the 5th for me I'm afraid Phil. A colleague has had the cheek to have his retirement do that evening, meaning that every man and his dog wants the day off. Consequently, no leave allocation left, and I can't find anyone willing to cover me. Arse :x

Saturday 5th

Postby Gibson335 » Wed Oct 02, 2013 12:45 am

Opposite the junction with the B3227?

Providing She Who Must Be Obeyed hasn't got me lashed to a wheelbarrow or a paintbrush, I'll be there. (Buggrit, that means I'll have to give Brünhilda a clean).

Early morning rain and very wet roads didn't bode well for today's meet, but I thought a good turnout.
Met Ryan, Phil (both GS pilots) Topcat (Dave) R12s & Jinny K13s from Taunton in Wellington Sq Minehead and after a bit of banter we set off, as I said roads were very wet especially under trees and plenty of crud, but a nice "gentle" ride via Barnstaple/Bideford to Great Torrington.
Al Madthemad Gibson335 were already there so a nice sausage & bacon bap followed by T before the boxerbollox started, Stevinary and Cornishflat also attended so a few new faces put to forum names.
