Looks good, might even stay down there and collect a few
BBT points. Pint or two anyone ?.
Put me down Dave please

I found the hotel some years ago when doing the Round Britain Rally and have been back several times.

Laura, the owner, passed her bike test last year

Looks good to me.

Excellent ... Some were to ride to.
I'll pop down for an hour or two.

Add me to the list.

Stick us down Dave thanks.
May stop the night as it looks like my carer is staying

Added you to the list John. Rooms are almost sold out on Booking.com so it may be worth phoning Laura on 01237441724. I'm staying there as well.

Sorted

Rooms booked, think there are two left on booking.com.

I'll be there. Nice to have one in the West Country again

Hi Dave,
Please add Niki & myself to your list.
I have booked a double room so look forward to a good day and a couple of beers in the evening.

Looks like it will be quite a party at the West Country Inn.

That's us booked for the Saturday night as well

OK

OK i'll see nearer the day.

Sitting by a roaring fire, with a pint of the local ale in hand and talking to the landlady when I get called to the phone. Confusion reigns so sorry if I sounded confused. See you in March

Put me down too; though to paraphrase the Fab4, I'll be day-tripping.

Will be good to see you there, and there is nothing wrong with day tripping, I must admit to being surprised at how many are staying overnight. I guess there are a lot of BBT bonuses to collect in the SW.

Only a quick daytrip.......

Yep, daytrip for me too

We booked in for sat night may do Friday night Bristol area and home
in one on Sunday

I am now upgrading to a definite maybe +1 to try and persuade this pal of mine that he wants to do long distance rides,
why suffer on your own
See you all Saturday

 

[orestesdjc]

This was filmed just a few miles away from the West Country Inn. Hopefully the weather will be better when we visit.

 

[JON12A]

That looks great !
Coxy mentioned to me that he intended getting in some surfing while down there.
This will be great practice for his Honolulu rte, news of which will follow shortly.

 

[FazerPhil]

Day trip for me too.

 

[orestesdjc]

Hardly surprising Phil, and I can't even tempt you with good beer. See you on Saturday in Verdun. It's possible I may have questions on efficient stops at bonuses.

 

[Mike Strong]

Do we know if this fine establishment will have the England -v- Wales match on, ko 4:00pm?

 

[orestesdjc]

Waiting for a reply from Laura but I suspect that if enough of us are in the bar at 4pm we'll be watching the rugby

 

[JON12A]

Surely non of us will be in the bar at 4:00 PM

 

[Mike Strong]

Let him without sin cast the first stone...........

Waiting for a reply from Laura but I suspect that if enough of us are in the bar at 4pm we'll be watching the rugby

Wahoooooooooooooooooooo come on England

 

[orestesdjc]

Just bear in mind that Cornwall is only a few hundred yards away and they may still have a separatist movement similar to Wales.

 

[Mike Strong]

Cornish are a far nicer lot of rebels.....

 

[GraemeandSally]

Still going but may need to drive down blown secondary master cylinder on brakes so hope to have it done by Friday fingers crossed

John was that in the bar till 4am !!!!!!
