Some of you maybe aware...that me and Chris starting our UK tour this Friday, we will be taking in a few of GB's highlights starting with the David Silver Museum, The muckleburgh military collection, the Bubble Car Museum, across the peak district, across Snowdonia National Park, Portmeirion, Malvern Hills, Cotswolds, Mendips, South Downs, if anyone would like to join us i can give you the details of all the campsites that we are using, even if its only for a small leg of the journey your more than welcome. :D

The tour starts on Friday the 14th of July for 10 days 8-), we will be covering a maximum of 120 miles a day, some days are less so will give plenty of time to take it all in, in total we should cover 1100, hopping for glorious sunshine 8-)

Learn the lessons of the Isle of Wight trip last year and keep the weight out of those front baskets. 8-)

If I packed 3 days before I set off I wouldn't ave anything to wear! :lol:

Have an excellent trip ... then have a break before coming to the Softies weekend. :D

Don't think they are open on any other days but Fri, Sat & Sun (and Bank Hols) so better make it Sunday. Open until 5pm.

I ride past it 3 or 4 times a year and have done for 4 years or so. Only ever caught it open once.

Good Luck!

There's a good cafe at Crossgates on the A44. A lot of Worcester riders make for it on a nice day. The A44 is a cracking road.
