Leaving budgens/shell garage 8:30 am.
heading to Compton Abbass airfield, May head down to West Bay after or just 'wing it' from there.
Aim to be back in Bridgwater around dinnertime.

Pace will be medium.

Sorry Pebs, too early pour moi...
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

Well done Mr P, have fun, and pick some good 'uns :mrgreen: . I'll be ringing you drekly re' the L' Wells accommodation for next June as have got some news on that.

Mr Pebs: On Sunday I'm guessing you'll be at C A airfield around 0945 hrs. If I can work it, I'll see you there for a cuppa ~o) - that's option 1.

Option 2 for me is to meet you at either Podimore roundabout (A303) approx' 0900 hrs or at Sparkford roundabout (A303) around 0910 hrs - assuming that's the way you're going - let me know if it's a different route.

Not sure about West Bay afterwards though, might do the 'wing it' thing myself.

Nope, Peb's has included it.

It's Spreadeagle that's the other hill leading up to the airfield, here: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Spr ... -2.1607922

Cheers Pebs. If I can make it I'll prob' meet you on the A303 at Podimore Cross, in the first lay-by after the roundabout. If I'm not there, don't wait.

Hope to see you 0830 Bridgwater for a good ride.

Zig Zag hill is on the b3081 and airfield is on your right hand side. At least is has been every time I've been up there.
