Recommended Posts

So today I set off for Compton Abbas airfield , a lovely grass airstrip with a cafe on the downs above Shaftesbury, well I got there and it was closed :classic_rolleyes:

I was told later that it's been bought by Guy Ritchie ,  https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/local-news/guy-ritchie-unveils-plans-compton-8006729

So I decided to head down the road to see if I could another cafe , found one on the edge of Bladford and had a chinwag with a guy on a Virago 400 ...............

From there I headed down the backroads to Weymouth ..................

I went to the harbour to check out a pub where we'll be staying in 10 days time ................

No ice in there just very cool

I thought there was an ice cube at the top where the liquid surface is clear.

Nice shots Bob!

The one with the boats would be great for BOTM!

Definitely not the one of his cider dipped helmet.

Thoughts on those tires so far, Bob?

Good grip in the dry , I won't be testing them in the wet as my bike is called XTREME :classic_unsure:

That’s where he dipped his knob in it.
