I would be up for this, not that far from me and a nice drive to boot. As long as it is after the weather breaks and my car is back on the road after its winter lay up.

The weekend of the 20th of April is out for me, but how about the weekend of 27th and 28th of april, or the Bank Holiday in May weekend of the 4th, 5th, and in theory 6th. Looks like we just need a list then :D

If my car is back on the road by then I'll be up for this, it's only a quick blast over the mendips for me to get there :) Watch out for the goats though!

Ok guys lets get this on the road and running. FinalD has mentioned the 27th/28th so I think we should go for this, it will be upon up before you know it.

Anyone wanting a convoy or even a lift from South Wales can tag along with me.

I'll put my name down as this will also give me a date to aim for to get my ass in gear and get the car back on the road :) I know the roads pretty well from the top of the gorge so could sort out a little route for a blast across the Mendips maybe?

28th sounds good.

How early do people consider early? Meet at the Gorge car park say 10 or 11am? Earlier, later??

Any time works for me to be honest. I'm used to 9am Sat morning meets and leaving home at like 6-7am.

For this I get to leave the flat about 1 hour before the meet. :D

Sweet :) Off topic a little but on the 306 forum they do a "member sign in thread for each area, then when a meet is organised in that area a PM gets fired out to everyone in the list for that area, if that makes sense?

Could would here for the future?
