Ferry times all the same this year 3pm out to the island and 105pm return on the Monday,can’t wait only a few weeks away

A nice steady drive to the ferry port. I might take the Bear.

Good time for return journey, Stop in the outdoor Cafe Dorchester on the way there?

Ummmm.....;);)

Oh yea can’t miss out on a decent cuppa and it’s ideal as there’s toilets there

Not quite that good PAUL but a mean burger

We could all meet at Route 5 for breakfast, then on to outdoor cafe for a cuppa.

Anyone reading this thread will think all the south west group activities revolve around food... :duh::D

.................................. And drinking Rattler, don't forget the Rattler.

Just goes to show we all think of you Paul.:}

Did someone mention Rattler :drool4:

Stowford Press at Norton Grange I.O.W :drool4:

Just spoken to mr Mac and I think route 5 for meeting up is a good choice so if we meet there for 10am have a what ever you like,leave for 11am,mosey on and stop of at the bear lay-by for a wee and tea then drive onto lymington for 3pm ferry ⛴ hope this is good for everyone cheers matt

Route 5 ? Is that the one at the top of Haldon Hill on the A38 ? (If so, I've probably only driven past it a thousand times...:duh:)

Yep mr c that’s the one

I really must pay more attention to the scenery :D

After Route 5 you'll not see much scenery. As I'm taking the Bear you'll be listening to those XPower boxes rather than looking at anything.

Really looking forward to this now :D

I'd better keep a look out for petrol stations then...:duh:;)

Not long for this one now just a week away can’t wait don’t forget 10am meet at route 5 on the way let the games commence lol lol ��



On a last note I can meet at mc Donald’s newton Abbott at 930am - 940am leave

...............................and all the meeting points sell food. So should keep Paul going till Dorchester at least.

I'm aiming for lunch in the Ferryman before departure...depending on the wife getting her finger out :getmecoat:

Tooooo much info there.

Getting close now can’t wait

See you all in Lymington.....not had an alcoholic beverage for 2 months ....:icon_rolleyes: that'll end Friday :icon_lol:

Lunch now in the Monkey House 12.45 😉

Just plugged my credit card into the oxygen unit.

As has already been said, many thanks to Matt & Shirley for taking their time to organise this, both Linda & myself had a great time. We really didn't want to come home today (why do these things seem to go so fast...???), the company and the venue couldn't be faulted and it was great to meet new faces.

I never knew Ratty could dance so well, I certainly learnt a few pointers....I think :xmas-smiley-008:

Hope John got back home ok ? Unfortunately we lost him & Nina at Bridport and didn't see them again after that.

The diet starts tomorrow :smiley:

Thanks Matt & Shirley for organising Great Weekend, as already been said good venue & food. best of all Great company, roll on next one.

No thanks needed I love our times away it’s a pleasure to organise and your all a pleasure to be with,all very special and long may it carry on thanks again for attending matt and Shirley
