Guest Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 The gf and I will be down there 26th - 28th Sept.She's driving down and I will take the bike depending on weather forecasts and I'm looking for relatively short, scenic routes rather than biker night type stuff - she's non-scene as yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that TreruleFoot roundabout to the Torpoint Ferry yr referring to there Pete?If so that's my old neck of the woods... I'm Plymouth born and bred...Fantastic run out.. Used to be able to do the Tamar bridge to the ferry in 12 minutes!!!Lost a very close pal to an accident through that stretch though...

Guest Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Is that TreruleFoot roundabout to the Torpoint Ferry yr referring to there Pete?Yes mate, although I start at HMS Raleigh, and rarely go to the roundabout as I turn left and head to Looe. On a longer ride will head from there to Padstow and back via Bude, Launceston and Tavistock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
