Looking forward to it already Iain. Though shall miss the usual drive to the rallys with it being only up the road from Somerset. Shall just have to go the long way around via Cheddar Gorge.
No the rallies are open to all, but members gain free entry.
Some posts in the owners club forum are limited to members, such as member discounts etc. as a member you have six magazines and a whole load of other opportunities.
Thanks for the replies, I appreciate that some areas are for paid members only. Bristol is on my doorstep so will look forward to coming along, thanks.
Peaks and Pennines will be coming down early on Saturday to visit Lacock (NT) on route, then driving down The Cheddar Gorge on Sunday morning.
Can anyone recommend a hotel - Premier / Holiday Inn in the Chippenham - Melksham - Bath area?
Ideally capable of taking 10 cars 20 members, safe parking and a pub / restaurant within staggering distance is a must.
Try going UP the gorge it is more fun than going down. If you go up then you can go over the Mendip forest, (not many trees) and then down Burrington Combe.
If you’re staying in that area there are so many really good B&B’s and guesthouses it would be a shame to stay in a generic chain hotel. Sadly I’m no longer local to the area to be able to recommend specific hotels but something like the Shaw Country Hotel would probably fit the bill. Have a search in Bradford on Avon & surrounding villages for really pretty countryside and a good location for the run down to Cheddar.
