... I'm wondering if anyone's interested in another trip down that way. Since Dartmoor has been done a couple of times, I'm wondering about Exmoor or New Forest? Votes?

The Beggar's Roost looks like a nice place with camping next to the all-important pub! There's hotel accomodation for those who don't want to camp. We'd be near Porlock Hill, Cheddar and so on. There are some byways on Exmoor, and I found a few in south Devon.

Alternatively we could book places in a New Forest camp site. Roundhill is declared as biker friendly, having its own "motorcycle field", but has no shower block!! Holmsley looks nicer. The New Forest is a pretty area and the National Motor Museum is nearby. However, we'd need to book places as these camp sites fill up quickly.

BTW, I realise that McVicar will probably be on auto-pilot and ride right past Exmoor/New Forest towards his beloved Princetown, but would that be an entirely bad thing? .

Regarding dates I'm thinking
Fri 29 June - Sun 1 July
or
Fri 6 July - Sun 8 July.

Those are before the school holidays but shouldn't be too busy.

Provisional expressions of interest will do for now.

Sorry 6 July I'll be doing "Haggis Run 2".
Would be OK for May or early June otherwise will have to give this one a miss.
Any of the above seem OK. I don't mind basic but I think a shower block is a must.

And 8 July is the Stella

At that time of year it's bound to clash with - or be near - SOME other event. For those doing the Haggis or Stella, who else is interested?

[Lord Vader]

Well if i can not do the Haggis run for some reason or other i would join you

if you are going to come down to the new forest why not try and tie it in with the bike show at Beaulie?. Not a great deal of off roading that is suitable for the AT,s around that area. lots of nice back roads and pubs.

Also I have been told Sammy millers which is on the edge of the new forest some times lets his spare field out ?.
