figured id throw this out over here too
last year i organised a tipple run and it was a success so im doing another
its a good old ride but we made it last year on all sorts of stuff
heres the blurb:
Thursday 10th - Sunday 13th September 2009
Tipple Run 2009 is in the planning stages and its looking like being the year of the cider.
These are the dates so you can keep them clear in your diary.
Same deal as last year - This is a chill out and party kind of deal, no attitudes, no fees, no promises. If you don’t expect much then you'll come away happy
If you think your bike has a fighting chance of making the run then you are welcome. If you like building and fixing cool stuff its probably your kind of thing, be it on a supercharged trike, an old brit restoration or anything in between. If you are more of the weekend power-ranger brigade then its most likely not for you.
THIS IS NOT A RALLY... as the name suggests its a RUN - its about the riding then party when we get to destination. There are no bands put on or entertainment of any sort. Ride your bike make your own fun.
You need to look after yourself and your own bike - there wont be anyone behind you to pick you up if you break down.
Preliminary route for Tipple Run 09, split over 3 days depending where we find suitable camp sites. Leaving you the sunday to get home from Hastings. This may change some but its the bones of it. The route will be pre-run in the spring and finalised. We are looking at around 200 miles a day.
so if you fancy it book the time and get your bike ready

The old A30 from Launceston to Exeter still exists despite being replaced by a new dual carriageway. It is a good ride on a bike through several pretty villages. I used to blast through there back in the early sixties on my Triumph 500 going to/from the base on leave. ( either Yeovilton or Watton) to Cornwall. It used to be possible also to loop up to Godshill in the new forest and back down, adding afew miles but leaving the big road for a while. was very good pub at Godshill with a big car park, camped in the area a few times.
