As the café opens at 10:30 on a Sunday, the DSC meet from 10:30 onwards, the food looks good – from a bacon sarnie & tea/coffee at £3 to a full English for about £6.

Sunday 30th Nov

Thanks to everybody who turned out at Newlands Corner this morning - the clouds were nearly blue - and the sun came out for a while this morning (couldnt see a flippin thing!:eek: ). Roads were a bit damp - but not too many soggy leaves. AK & I ( & Becca on her NC21) enjoyed our pootle out.

Good to see JMo & Doug make the trip up from the coast, Boozy Bob found his way up from the other side of Basingstoke, and the locals:- Muttley, Martin S4, - and David - new member who Dibble found at Box Hill - and brought along to meet us!:D

Together with Dibble, Henners & gang from the DSC, there were quite a few Dukes sparkling in the sun whilst we all had coffee (& grub!).

Hopefully some of the pics that Fordie took will have come out - if so, will post up later.

Good to see everyone on such a wintery day! - I must say, there were plenty of trail bikes coming and going from Newlands... must get the local O/S map - methinks I may become a regular over the winter!

Smeegal should be back next week (hurrah!) - hope to see a good show at Boxhill on the 14th...
