Anyone up for a night out somewhere in the South West??

I'm currently looking at 23/24 Jan, 6/7 Feb, 5/6 March....

Thoughts?

Will it be as wet as last time?

its not raining on dartmoor right now.

it was however 1.5 degrees and falling fast as I drove through princetown earlier.

By SW where did you have in mind?

Bl**dy well hope not!!

Location?? Well I'm North Somerset and would like to see some of the local spots if possible

I've currently nothing planned for 5/6th March.

I'm in Bristol

If North Somerset and 5/6th March can you pick somewhere close to the Dortchester to Bristol railway route?

Happy to follow whatever route someone more knowledgeable puts up for that weekend...

Young children mean getting out at the weekend is a virtual impossibility for me, but as I'm in North Dorset I'm always interested in the South West threads. So, a register of interest in the Feb or March dates, but marginal and short notice whether I ride.

Suggestions
Meet up somewhere remote make your own way there and back.
Dartmoor again N to S.
Exmoor from Minehead.
Exmoor from Taunton via Quantocks.
Mendips (bivvi on Priddy Green)
Devon C2C
Explore the WSM to Winchester route (doesn't look that interesting)
Start Bristol explore canals and river over to Bath maybe start of K&A canal?
I would prefer circular route for parking getting to and from?
Somewhere further distance Brecons SDW?

OK so let's go for weekend of 5 & 6 March - I'm happy to follow suggestions for a route and place to rest

I'm at the velodrome on the Sunday so I'm out.

So you're going firm on the 5/6th March?

Yep

Am thinking of riding the 2015 BB200 route that weekend so I won't be around unfortunately.

Si

Devon Dirt is posted for April 17.
Dont know if they do team entries but we could do a SWBB team - dressing as a bear optional but you ride alone if you do.

Just checked out Devon Dirt and like the look of that too,

Will still stick to 5&6 March if people are still up for that date??

Yes assuming logistically possible on public transport/by bike. (I don't own a car)

Exmoor from Taunton via Quantocks is sounding like a very attractive ride.

Yeah I like the look of that one.

what sort of distance you planing on covering?

Devon Dirt was good last year, and loads of good spots local to throw a night out before :)

Is anyone still keen for the heading out for a night on the 5th?
