Many months have passed since the last large South West coming together of different BM's and their respective clubs/forums and we think its time for another.
The location for this meet is Blackmoor Gate on Exmoor. It is an area slap bang in the middle of some of the most scenic and enjoyable driving roads in our area, one of the few places left not ruined by mundane traffic and the speed nazi's. There is a large car park here with toilets iirc and on the other side of the road there is a large pub with awesome views to feed and water the masses.

There is plenty to do on Exmoor once you're bored of looking at BM's (if that's possible) with 7 sisters, Lynton/Lymouth, the famous Porlock hill and of course the Ilfracombe/Croyde coast all short distances from Blackmoor gate.

Plan is to meet at 12.00, do the meet thing, do the pub thing at 1.00 ish and take a convoy drive through Exmoor about 2.00ish.
The Cheddar meets of past proved to be very succesful and one even attracted the journalists of PBMW magazine who went on to feature a few of the attending cars. Let's see if we can make this even bigger.

My car WILL be in a hideous state by the time this comes around, but I should still be up for going. :D Might be able to round up a few dirty six drivers too.

Its blackmoor gate on exmoor. There aren't any towns very close by, I suppose its not too far from Minehead or Tiverton.
If you use google maps it should bring it up. :wink:

Would love to attend and would be my first meet...however won't have my car on the road in time. Shame but I'll definitely attend a few meets next year in the south west as I live in Bristol and would love to meet with you guys. As being 18 and this my first BM I'm slightly unsure about most stuff, and it would be nice to get some advice and that. I'll keep my eyes peeled for future posts about S.West meets.
318iS on the road soon (fingers crossed)

Alright Dave. I gave up on the list of people a long time ago as this is advertised on so many forums. There is got to be 25-30 odd coming now.

I do think the tight twisting exmoor roads would benefit from a lsd unit yes mate, for some extra grip out the corners :wink:

Im pretty sure most the lot coming to this ones are fairly sound lads. We have had a few bulford meets now which lend themselves to a bit of childish tomfoolery and everyone seems happy there.

Its a fair mix of all bms as well which should keep it nice and balanced, Im just taunting you lot to see if I can get more to come lol.

You gonna come Tony?
