LOFO'S run along the Jurassic coast - dazza - 16-06-16
Hello fellow Lofo's So, who's up for a run along the Jurassic coast beginning of July ?
Myself and Red Ceri are planning to don a tent and sleeping bag and set out on the Saturday staying over night somewhere, Midden's up for coming too, we've just got to workout dates cos Midden's an awkward bastard.
Obviously some won't be able to stop over but could arrange to meet up along the way either day. Non Lofo's welcome too especially any locals who know some good roads.
I haven't planned a route but going to be the usual Nell's café meet, across country to the A272, as far west as we can get before dropping down to the coast road and taking in the magnificent views and coastline.
If the weathers good we can cool off in the sea and get out on the lash Saturday night before stumbling back to our tents.
Just gauging any interest and letting you know what we have planned in case others fancy converging on us en-route and tagging along.
Thoughts please Foccers

deffo not first weekend in July, possibly the second weekend for me, although might only get away with a ride on the Saturday.
Re: LOFO'S run along the Jurassic coast - midden - 17-06-16
23/24 for me though 2/3 a possibility if pushed............... I await the obvious comebacks

Re: LOFO'S run along the Jurassic coast - kitcrazy - 17-06-16
I'm Up for an over nighter and a few drinks :thumbup 2nd&3rd is ok for me but can't do 9th&10th
Re: LOFO'S run along the Jurassic coast - dazza - 17-06-16
OK going to try and keep it as fluid as possible but not going to be able to please everyone.
It seems that the 2/3rd July is probably best for the majority so far (sorry Harry
)Weather's going to be a factor too as I'm not camping and riding in the pissing rain, so it's going to be forecast permitting.
Don't know where we're going to camp yet but by then we would have come out of the EU and apparently once we do, you can pitch a tent wherever the fuck you like :lol

It's not quite the end either and you can't do the beginning :rolleyes
Re: LOFO'S run along the Jurassic coast - HarryHornby - 17-06-16
No worries, I've got a beer festival on that Saturday, so not all bad
hic!
Re: LOFO'S run along the Jurassic coast - robbo - 20-06-16
Hi Dazza,
I'd definitely be up for some riding/camping and beer, whatever the chosen weekend. A poor weather forecast would be the only deciding factor, as have had more than my fair share of camping in the rain. Where would you be aiming for, somewhere like the Lulworth Cove area, or more into Devon?.
Re: LOFO'S run along the Jurassic coast - dazza - 20-06-16
Nice one Robbo, yes, somewhere between Bournemouth and Weymouth so Lulworth cove/ Durdle door looks smack in the middle. Bournemouth has a nice sandy beach with plenty of peaches 8) and the coast road west of Weymouth hugs pretty close to the sea.
Also not that much further west from the 272 and the Isle of Wight and we've done that in a day so should be comfortably do-able over the two days.
Nothing's set in stone though and is subject to change with input from others. Where will you be coming from and where will you be meeting us?
Will almost certainly stop at Loomies en-route.
Re: LOFO'S run along the Jurassic coast - robbo - 20-06-16
Croydon's my nearest town, so meeting up won't be a problem, anywhere on the A272 that's good for you. If you go through Cowfold, I could grab breakfast at The Chalet and meet you on the Cowfold roundabout, depending on how early you leave, or anywhere further west if you're not on the 272 at that point, as I don't know what direction you're coming from. Should be a good crack.
Re: LOFO'S run along the Jurassic coast - dazza - 20-06-16
Well, we will be coming form Gravesend and heading towards Tunbridge wells picking up the 272 from the beginning. We can meet you at the Chalet café or Tunbridge wells and ride the 272 as a group. Just got to work on times. It's up to you dude.
Re: LOFO'S run along the Jurassic coast - midden - 20-06-16
Chalet cafe a new one to try. Shame Harry will miss out
Re: LOFO'S run along the Jurassic coast - dazza - 20-06-16
We've been there a few time Midden, don't think you've been on the rideouts though. Last time I had to wait about an hour for a fry up....Won't be ordering food there again. Well, I might but will order it before I leave home.
