North Somerset - Feb 2023

Good evening reader,

I set off in the frosty cold this morning and rode to the Classic Bike show at Shepton Mallet, it was great to see Jacqui Furneaux, Derek Mansfield and Duncan Gough at their stand. Thanks for the cake Jacs. After a while I rode off in the cold sunshine to Taunton and then to this campsite at Raleigh Cross Inn.
Still sunny but a cold wind. Tent up, tea made and admin done, I'll wait awhile and see what's on the menu this evening, it turned out to have no option but the carvery.

I just needed to get out on the bike and check the camping gear before the first proper run out (Crieff Cloverleaf and the NC500 in April). Next month see a quick run over to Belgium for some WW1 visits but not camping.

I woke up this morning having hardly slept at all. So very

cold in the morning with wind driven sleet. Decided not to ride across Exmoor, and packed up and took a slow ride home for a very welcome hot bath !!!
