Yesterday I left East Devon as the sun came up at 6:05am and went cross country via Crewkerne, some lovely twisty roads, I felt great for the first time in several months having recently had another op which seems to have done the trick. The car was running great and I was in tune with her, nipping up and down the gears sweeping round the bends with hardly any other cars around. Then it was a quick dash up the A303 for 30 miles, and off at Mere and back onto to some more interesting roads to Salisbury at 7:25, then onto the old A30 to the back of Winchester via Stockbridge, a great road but need to be wary of traffic from side roads. Then the roads through the Worthy's, a great twisty A road, sadly restricted heavily nowadays, not so in my youth! Then up the A31 through Four Marks(where I lived as a child) to Alton to turn up at my best friends at 8:45 unannounced to wake him up with the Aero boom, 127 miles in 2 hours 40 mins, an average of 47mph, not bad consider only 30 on dual carriageway and the rest on old A roads ignored by most nowadays.

Well there is an opportunity sooner rather than later, I am meeting a college friend at Haynes on Tuesday 30 Aug, and then he is coming on to mine to stay for a day or two. So if you and others fancy a Somerset dash that's a possibility.

The Somerset dash and meet at Haynes, as above, is now postponed to Thursday 22 September due to unforeseen work commitment for my friend, Dave. I will post and confirm nearer the time.
