Right, thought I would start something new. What better way to encourage newbies along to the meets than a blow by blow report of the day complete with pics.
Leaving nice and early, the day started with Myself, Annf2009 and Dhoney666 leaving our home just outside Ivybridge to make the first rendevous at Exeter service after a nice run up the A38. Here we met Dawntracker, GT4Mayhem and MrJan to head up to our main meeting point at Taunton Sainsbury's.
Cruising into Taunton, we met up with Pink (Who we were supposed to meet in Exeter), Craig-Rev3, Purple Ronnie and another Newbie (sorry dude, no idea what your username is). I just happened to be met with a rather smokey engine on hitting Taunton, this meant a dive into Halfords for an oil filter and some frantic on-the-spot mechanics. Yup, the dreaded sandwich plate was not holding a seal. Managed to get it far better than it was and headed off for the day.....
Lost Dhoney666 and MrJan in the hectic traffic in Taunton, who it turns out headed in completely the wrong direction so we made the decision to head toward our main feeding point with the chance of meeting them on route.
Left Taunton along the A358 to be met with a nice, smooth set of curves and a gentle warm up for what was to come. This led to the A39 through Minehead and we headed out toward Exmoor.
Passed through Porlock and came face to face with the infamous Porlock Hill. This is the UK's steepest "A"road at a 1 in 4 incline. Fantastic drive up though there, with hairpin bends on a 25% incline. Great fun!!!!
Here is a vid of the road to give you guys an idea what we went up - try and imagine 7 MR2's (and a Laguna estate) going up there

Some great curves with some daunting, vertical drops right up to the roadside. Located a fantastic car park (with conveniences
) at the top, where Dhoney666 and MrJan caught us up. Once again we were a complete convoy 
So, on to food
Followed the coastal A39 down into Lynmouth where we all parked up, right on the seafront and went in search of food. Found a fantastic restaurant where a full carvery was the order of the day. Wandered back to the cars through the village (stopping for the obligatory fudge on the way).
So, with full stomachs and warmed up cars, we set off once more. This time we followed a fantastic road right along the top of the moors with some challenging corners, dips, cows the lot. This took us onto the B3223, through a few tiny villages and down into Dulverton then on to Tiverton.
After a final meet in a layby, the day ended.
On to the next
Big thanks to everyone that showed......Without you guys, the meet isn't the same
must buy pink that c.d in the vid for his nxt cruise up there
