Dorset Breakfast Run – Bournemouth -> Compton Abbas Airfield (B3081) – Sunday 5th February 2012
Following the success of the last meet, I am going to start these up for 2012 and run them every 6 - 8 weeks depending on interest. I think we had 5 cars last time and it looks like there are some new faces around Bournemouth and Poole and also some people who were unable to make the last meet, so hope we can get a good turnout for these.
The route takes in some great B roads with good visibility, straights for passing and a brilliant mix of corners. The round trip distance is about 70 miles. We normally arrive at the airfield just after 9AM (café opens at 9.30 but we can wait inside) for breakfast, coffee and plane spotting
The pace was quick last time
The road is likely to be damp in places given the time of year and there was a covering of wet leaves in the tree lined sections last time but hopefully these have gone by now. I will run the route on my own the day before and will let you know what the road conditions are like.
We will be meeting at the Cooper Dean Harvester car park in Bournemouth at 7.50 – 8.00 AM for a departure at 8.15. As before we will slow down through Verwood to pick up anyone up from the Salisbury area who wishes to join en route.
