Sure, What time and whereabout's in Highbridge you want to meet?
Was thinking now of the premier inn/subway on the industrial estate rather than you come up this way to go back down. About 9.30/10? Or would you prefer earlier?
And enigma, you fancy meeting at the morrisons in Weston?

Also, if you do go for a Shaftesbury fuel stop, there's the Ivy Cross petrol station which is the big Esso garage on the first roundabout you come to if you're coming into Shaftesbury on the A30, which I'm guessing you would be from Bridgwater. Can't miss it. Easier to find than Tescos.
I know the tescos anyways but Esso could be alright, if fuel is needed. I do like a KFC too! Haha

So shall I meet up with you at Shaftesbury Esso garage then? If so what time? Let me know roughly and I'll be there early and wait for you. Be riding an orange KTM.

Expect to be there about 11ish I'd guess. Leaving Bridgwater about half 9, and enigma doesn't hang around. I sent you a message too.

Great ride today, really enjoyed it. Saw some parts of Dorset I wouldn't normally so think I'll be popping back down in the summer.

Yep cheers lads. An excellent day. Fish and chips, the seaside, coffee in the sun at Compton Abbas and another back tyre a little bit closer to the bin. Ideal.

Really good day
Zigzag hill was a bit easier than i thought it would be, Still a challenge though
