The Carrot Cruncher Cruise and Meet!!!
Okay, looking at where people are coming from it maybe easier to meet at the pub first as it is closer. The drive from the east over the mendips to the pub is great. The pub has a decent car park overlooked by the pub garden on the off chance we have some nice weather. Hmm oh well it is dry and warm in the pub :laugh:
The pub is called the Castle of Comfort, East Harptree.
Castle of Comfort East Harptree, Mendips
It is about 7 miles from the top of the gorge.
We could just meet up, stay and have lunch / drink and oh plenty of car talk :laugh:
If anybody is interested, we could go to Cheddar Gorge and back before or afterwards for a quick spin. Another option is a 20 mile round trip route I often take in the summer which is from the pub through Burrington Coombe (mini Cheddar Gorge), Churchill, Shipham, Cheddar, through the gorge back to the pub.
What do we think? Any other suggestions?

Sounds a good idea, depending on when :smile:
Depending on the date, might be tempted to cross the Hampshire Border.. :tu:
The OP is a new member but hasn't been back to the forum for the past 2 weeks... Hopefully he'll be back soon to respond to your interest in his proposed meet...
I didn't realise they'd opened the border... me too, in that case.Depending on the date, might be tempted to cross the Hampshire Border.. :tu:
Sorry i have been away my internet went down i have been waiting. For my new one to arrive i still would like to arrange the meet. I was thinking the 26th of march at cheddar gorge if anyone is avalible or location can be changed if anyone has a good location?
Just a case of sneeking over the border at first light.....!!I didn't realise they'd opened the border... me too, in that case.
I've added 26 March at Cheddar Gorge as a potential meet (to be confirmed) into the 2016 UK Meet Calendar thread - I'll update there if details change here.
Ok thank you
Saturday 26th March good with me.
Cheddar is my neck of the woods, born and bread there. Great venue but will probably be busy and charging on all the car parks as that is Easter Saturday. If everyone is happy with venue I could suggest a meeting place outside the gorge and drive through Cheddar on the way for a spot of lunch at a great pub at the top of the gorge.
Happy to help with local knowledge whatever :smile:
