unless somebody wants to bring a bbq unit im guessing its going to be the tin foil jobbies

there is a bbq area at Marquis Drive, so we could put them on there
the main problem with taking a cooker is letting it cool down after

That's a silly question......Chesley only does oatcakes.......''

kangaroo

im guesing we need to make a list of what we need and devide it up

the other thing that occurs to me is in the unlikey event that the weather isnt nice enough to have a bbq do we just forget it and go home

Hi guys,

just thinking - would the meat not go off if it's in a car all day before being cooked?

I don't mind either and, I agree, we should decide who brings what.

Should be a good ride - not long to go.

I have a large coolbox. I'll have a word with the others coming from this way out and see if they wanna hang around for munchies or set off back.

called in the cafe at Birches Valley today and was quite suprised by there prices
especially the bacon baguette and drink offer

rottitera02

Blimey they are excellent prices Roo......only one thing missing...yes you guessed it.....OATCAKES !!!!!!!

I take it you took advantage of the scrumptious food on offer then....do they normally have their prices this good and is the food reccomended ??

sparrowlegs78

They've got teacakes, I can ride for miles off a teacake

Good man Roo, this is a stop worth riding for !!!

its at the birches valley visitor centre so theres also other faciltitys there
