Title: Inter Club meet confirmed Breakfast run out to Cheddar 26th Jul. Names here pls
Post by: 'The Gaffer' on 30, June, 2009, 12:46:59 PM
Brian has arranged a joint club drive out and meet with the Apple County Kitcar Club on Sunday the 26th July.

This is where we all drive down to Cheddar met up for breakfast, then a drive out somewhere for some photo shot's and stuff.. Full details to be organised but the date chosen is the 26th July. So if we sort out some where to meet first then all drive down to Cheddar in convoy, should be a great sight, a chance to meet up with more kits and a good laugh.

Watch this space for full details.

All those who would like to join in, make your mark here!

For those coming out on the inter club meet to Cheddar. I recon the best place for our starting point would be the on the Bridgewater Road (A38) south of Bristol. (those with satnav's BS13 7AQ) just passed the Crossed Hands pub.

From there Hope to meet up with ACKCC in Axbridge (still waiting to hear what time to get there for but it's about a 25 min run down for us.....) and then on to Cheddar for Breakfast.

More info as I get it

I've had a mail back from Matt at ACKCC and we got the time and place now for the start of the meet.

We will meet up with them at 10am just off the A38 going into Axbridge, so those whating to come along I think if we all aim to meet up at 9:15am just passed the Cross Hands on the A38 S. Bristol (as above) and set off 9:30ish we should get there on time.  ;D

Open to suggestions for where to stop for breakfast/brunch! have a think and let me know Sunday. or post here and I can pass it on to Matt.

Awesome breakfast place is Hartley's on the Mendips. 

The owner Paul has had kit cars before, Duttons so a little while ago, but still kit car friendly and a real gentleman of a host along with Lynda.

Give him a call and I'm sure he could reserve a few tables if you are early enough as he gets very very busy on a Sunday.

It is not in Cheddar but a great drive up the gorge road and across the next 2 cross roads (about 10mins), Located at a farm complex at Masbury,
01749 841718 Rookery Farm, Binegar, Radstock, Avon BA3 4UL.

Highly recommended and a great choice of breakfast, booking advised on Sunday.

Pub at the bottom next to public car park was called The Butchers Arms for years and years (old bikers meeting pub), think it is now something like the"Riverside".

We'll try and "lie in wait" for a few piccies, looks like Apple guys want to do an earlier run up gorge.

I can pop up and see Paul if you want to see what his coming Sunday is like so you can have a little blat on the road from gorge to his place, will check Priddy pubs as well in next couple of days, a great place to park and some fantastic Beer / food.

We need to know if your joining the run down frm Bristol, so we know when everyone has arrived at the start point. Dixie as you would be coming up from Shepton, are you planning on meeting down in Axbridge?

Below are the 2 meeting places.

1st one is where BKCC will meet for the run down (leaving 9:30)

The 2nd is the planned meeting area for the interclub run to start..

Breakfast

Paul at Hartley's would be delighted to have you all if that is what you want, this time or any time.

Apple guys seem to be preferring Burrington, the place near the old burnt out garden centre at the bottom of gorge.

Anyway your choice, leave it to Bri to choose, happy to let Paul know or you can ring him direct (if you do just mention Richard and he'll get it very quickly), if you are set on Burrington then no issue, perhaps another run out at some point, as said Paul is very kit car friendly having owned them before himself.

Not sure which routes you have in mind over Mendips, happy to help as it is a bit of my "back yard".

Will try to come along but can't commit yet, if we do we may bring a couple of cars and lie in wait for a few moving pics with owners in vehicles.

There are a couple of parking bays up the gorge which you can get a good shot of all the cars lined up if someone does a short clamber up the other side, really not something to do in the wet without right gear on !

The ACKCC boys have decided that a good place to stop for breakfast would be the Burrington Inn, back up towards that lakes. I've included a quick map here so to get an idea of the route for the first part of the day.

Pete (hairy santa) is bringing the Sunfor the day, so Here's to a great days blating.

What time are we at the start Bri? and when do other members join us at the Burrington Inn if not coming with us?

Sorry, Its probably above somewhere  but its a long thread now.
Title: Re: Inter Club meet confirmed Breakfast run out to Cheddar 26th Jul. Names here pls
Post by: Bulldog Bri on 22, July, 2009, 09:46:07 AM
Yep it is!! lol...

The plan is for us to meet at about 9:15 on the A38 bridgewater raod, bedminster down. head off 9:30ish or if everyone is there, earlier. To arrive and meet up at 10 with ACKCC at axbridge, then carry on from there, up the gorge and then on to burrington. Looks lilke between us there will be about 15+ cars for the main run.

(just hope Tony can make it before 9:80! eh?)  ;)

For the route I'd go a little bit further before hanging left after the top of the gorge, it is a nice road and will only add a 6-10 mins to the journey.

So out of gorge do not turn off the road and keep going go past the turning into Priddy on right and then about 1 mile down you'll see a crossroads just after a house on the left, turn left here and that takes you straight down the Burrington road to the point where you had cut across to on your map.

It will also give us a chance to get you all coming up the gorge and then we can nip the Charterhouse way and get you coming down the bends into the Burrington, a good place at the pub down there for you all to line up as well.

Been thinking about this and if there is going to be a run up Burrington after breakfast then perhaps we should wait  and do that part of it then.

For the Apple guys they could have quite a fun route home across Mendips and then the levels, not the most direct but then ....

Shepton guys will know the run back up and across that is good i am sure.

Lets see on the day, still not sure if we can make it so this may be hypothetical.

You could always take the road over top of mendips through Green Ore, turn right and past Castle of Comfort, down Burrington and Left and then turn left at lights on the A38 and wait in the Garage a few hundred yards up road on Left, just before Shipham turning and then they pick you up.

You could always come past us but we'd be in a road car so hardly much of a convoy.

Well, we should be leaving 9:30ish so if you run up the A38 about that time so when we see you, we can stop let you turn around and join in. Not that you'd take long to catch up anyway!
You've got my number so you could let me know when your on your way up and I can let you know how we are doing...

See ya Sunday

Been out and about this morning and went through Cheddar on route, there are roadworks at the market cross so do not advise going that way to the gorge.

This means route to gorge should be out from meeting place down Axbridge bypass and then on entering Cheddar take first left then right at the Petrol station, this will bring you to the bottom of the gorge opposite what is now the Riverside Inn.

Went up gorge and across the top on return trip and definitely recommend going on same road as suggested before, a few wet puddles lurking on some bends on inside.

We've found our camera spots for light at roughly the right times and we've got space in the day to come along.

BBC weather showing cloudy until 13:00 at the moment for that end of Mendips, it rains there less than in Shepton  ;)

Sure not a problem Mark, phone's always on.

The weather forecast on HTV was also saying that the rain wouldn't be here till after lunch as well, lets hope they are right...  ::)

Richard's links and all the forecasts I've seen so far seem to confirm a cloudy morning and rain in the afternoon, 13.00 on.

Its possible there my be a small drizzle in the morning, but thats not enough to put me off.

I dont have any wet weather gear on the car, probably like some others, so I will make a decision based on what I see before setting off.

Who knows, they might have it all wrong as usual and there will be a heatwave tomorrow.

If the weather turns out real bad or looks very suspect, we will just have to re-organise... simple.

Lets all cross our fingers that its a great day and that the BKCC weather angel is with us, she has'nt let us down so far.

Can see just the one rain looking cloud currently grinning at Priddy, but not made its mind up yet.

A brilliant day out guys. Even the rain that we had didn't dampen the day. Great turn out from both clubs. Just a couple of pic's here, I sure there'll be plenty more put up...

Ok, can I take this opporunity to thank everyone that showed up today from both clubs, it was a great run out and the BKCC weather angel worked her magic... just!!!

It was a little damp, but hey, at least it didnt pour down  :).

I would like to think we can arrange a few more joint events with the Apple Country Club and look forward to meeting them again.

A big thanks also to Bri and Matt for organising the event and Richard & co for the photography.

Heres a couple of my phone cam pics

On behalf of the Apple county Kit Car Club, and from a personal point of view, I'd like to say a big thanks to all who came along, and made the day such fun.  Whether you met us at Axbridge, on route or at the pub, I hope you had just a smashing day as i'm sure everyone else did!

As Phil rightly said, must do it again, but this time we'll get a written guarantee for sunshine and bbq's!

Hope to see you all again soon!

Thanks,

Matt (ACKCC webmaster)

Still trawling the photos to select the ones for this site, a link will be put up for the majority held elsewhere.

I thought the meeting went really well a great set of people and a good mixture of cars.

Have to say Tony and Dixie working on that sell is biting  ;), however only after this one is built.

It was interesting to see the passing public interest as well so perhaps taking them to something else going on next time would add a little dimension and get that banner Bri organised a "wind out", hope a few others are contributing a little to help him out.


Brian thank you for organising from Bristol side and many thanks to Matt from Apple as well, to Phil as always but more importantly to all of the folks who turned up a big thank you.

At the end of the day it is the people who make it what it is !

Nice one all. Good drive out. It was a very British day. One advantage to the rain is the road is slippy. Once the helmet was on, the rain was hardly noticed!

Really impressive turn out and loads of machinary there exhibiting hours and hours of hard work. Its also rare to be the only Westfield at a kit car event!!

Thanks for organising it lads!

I've got a couple of photos plus one of Phil helping me out yesterday with a little wiring. Thanks again Phil, I would have been there all night without your help. We definately had a bit of a laughat the same time. Any time you need a hand, let me know mate!!!!

Ha, yes we did have a great laugh. The pic of me with the kettle is very scientific, I'm trying to see if PTFE tape actually melts before we used it on a sump temp sender. ;D Answer... it dosent melt at boiling water temperature.

Good to see you today Dave and anytime you need a hand, you know where I am.

There are a few more pics here, all are resized, some have been posted on here and others not. If you a copy on full pixel let me know mail or pm. Some pics from previous meet as well.

This was set up for posting all the pics to do with GKD Legend build, so far just a few of the strips are there. A big backlog is waiting for posting and a little reorganisation would not go a miss !

Although a while back, I was browsing youtube and found a video of the the day.

The link is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbkrCR-hGHg

It was a great day out and this video refreshed the memory.

A big thanks to Mr Bling for shooting the vid.
