I must have ridden past that a few times. Beautiful area.

You can just take a gentle stroll up any slight gradients and get to the top rest and admire the view before I get there

. Or if you would like to improve your climbing you could see how many times you can climb said rise before I reach the summit

You can go & visit Jeremy...... " We are located close to Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farmshop "

I'll put it in the calendar as a "possible"....

I avoided that weekend mainly because it is the bank holidays. I'll be interested in the photos and reports of the site for future reference.

I went for the bh because it seems to be the only weekend in May when the Yacf calendar was empty.
I will if I can see if I can get to twitys tipis weekend but finances will be the decider in the end

Can't help with a chocolate cock this time, I'm afraid.

I've just checked (this is one of the things VeloViewer is really good for), and I've been through the general area several times, but not the road in question, as I've always been heading nominally north-south.

Pedant mode: It's Moreton-in-Marsh - the natives are very precise about that, calling out those that add THE - that's down the road at Bourton-on-the-Water

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #10 on:** 06 February, 2024, 08:11:13 am »

So I've read, it was originally Moreton Henmarsh, which over time and presumably dropped Hs became Moreton-in-Marsh.

Moreton-in-traffic-jam would be more accurate.

The residents look like the cast of Cocoon.

You lot are beginning to make me worry about my choice of venue. What am I getting myself into in this quiet backwater

cycleman · « **Reply #14 on:** 24 February, 2024, 06:31:40 pm »

Is there any more Interest.?

I am sorry to say that I will not be able to go ahead with this trip. The funding has not been released from apollos trust by the council who it seems I will have to at least threatern with legal action to get any of this resolved. Canceled 😞

Shame, I had been looking forward to this. But more importantly, I hope your funding problems are sorted out soon.
