A very good freind of mine has just bought a Country Inn in a small village just north of Hinkley.

One of the nicest guys you could ever meet and after 25 years of running a restaurant in the theatre district in London he's decided to a quieter life now.

So if you're that was and want to try the Dog & Hedgehog in Dadlington, he'll be up and running in the summer.

Why not a ride from Arrow Mill to the Triumph factory for a tour and then lunch at your mates?

Not a bad idea at all.

Will see that the Weekender organisers have planned.

sounds good to me. You also have the option of going mallory park as it's very close too.

p.s good luck to your friend J.P, I as know the Dog and Hedgehog as been empty for the last few years as it 5 minuets walk from my house!

Triumph Factory tours are for their clubs only.

Actually there are very limited public tours, but they are all sold out for 2011 according to their website.

No they're not Dunc. My mate who runs a Triumph shop tells me he gets told off when he only takes Triumph customers / riders. They want other makes to go, as then they have a better chance of increasing thier market share.

I can see if he will organise it for us if needed.

Rather than do this during the weekender, wouldn't it be better to make it a seperate day altogether? it's a fairly central location & it maybe another oppertunity for club members to meet up, especially for those who can't make the weekender.

Just an idea.

Yep Desmo, that's what I thought, hence the '2011' header rather than Weekender, but I'll be going to visit my friend anyway
