thefletch Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 In a nut shell, myself, Dave Marshall and some others (6 total) are planning to drive down to Portland Bill for a ride next weekend. Its called a roadtrip because we may chose to drive to a few other spots on the headland itself, which is pretty big.Just wondering who'd be up for joining us???Should the weather forecast be shit for sunday on thursday then we may cancel, and you probly wouldnt wana be at Portland Bill in the rain anyway.So Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 (edited) Yeah, aim for a 10-10.30am start and people can filter in as and when they arrive. Word of the wise though, don't park in the main car park as you'll have to pay. As you come down the road towards the Bill there's a bird observatory on your left then a left, right kink in the road (before the pub). On the outside of the right kink, on the corner itself, is a dirt track that passes alongside the houses and leads to a grassy area where you can park for free. Hope that makes some sort of sense!!latersdave Edited January 26, 2006 by monkeyseemonkeydo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefletch Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Not really dave, you can explain iot to me on the phone wen im lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Not sure if this'll work for anyone else but if you go here then the arrow points to where the track is. It's quite a tight turn and you kinda double back on yourself and run parallel with the coast into the grassy area.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
