Tank Museum Ride? - nick crisp - 06-03-14
I'll probably pay another visit to the Tank Museum at Bovington sometime this year, as I didn't take my camera last time and would like to get a few snaps. No date set as yet, but I'd like to do it when the weather is a bit warmer so I don't have to carry too much kit around the museum with me. Anybody interested in making a run of it - bit different to just a route ride?

That would be a long ride
Re: Tank Museum Ride? - nick crisp - 06-03-14
Last time I did it, I went from Waltham Cross, did the rounds of the museum, and had a ride down to Durdle Door, stopped for grub somewhere near there too. Was home for about 8pm.
Oh yeah, and had a stroll round Corfe Castle

Wonder if your son came along he'd experience the 'wagon wheel' effect.....they're definitely not as big as they used to be

Always impressed with your rideouts so maybe i'll make it. Only coming from near sunny Portsmouth so won't take too long. Last time i went to Bovington was to do a wheelie school event for a mates stag do. Great laugh had by all, still crap at wheelies though.

A possible for this depending on the date, etc. Sevenoaks is not far from me and distance is no problem

Re: Tank Museum Ride? - zippywight - 10-04-14
If the date is right I'd be up for it. I need a long ride out. :-) tag along with fireblake from gosport... perhaps the other 2 foccers from gosport could make it!
Re: Tank Museum Ride? - nick crisp - 10-04-14
Still want to do it - if I still have a license :o

Tomorrow anyone? Weather not quite so sunny as today, so I won't mind an indoor destination, need something to get me out though.
Re: Tank Museum Ride? - fireblake - 17-05-14
Sorry Nick. I'm working

Re: Tank Museum Ride? - nick crisp - 23-05-14
Ok, I'm doing this on Sunday. Weather looks ok so far. I might be meeting up with a couple of guys from another forum too, who I haven't met before, then after a look around the museum, a ride to the coast. Anyone welcome to join, maybe meet at the museum, probably late AM.
Edit: Plan in state of flux :rolleyes
Waiting for 2 guys to make up their minds, might be going west instead :lol

Re: Tank Museum Ride? - pitternator - 24-05-14
we did have a fazer meet up many yrs ago at Bovingdon. I have been wanting to go again at some point too. Its a very long day for me, so would only go if weather good ( at least dry)...and after mid July. I will post up at the time to see if anyone fancies tagging along or meeting up there.
Re: Tank Museum Ride? - nick crisp - 25-05-14
Done today, but for those interested, this could be a good day out
