I have decided to hold the April Meet at Haldon Forest Center just south of Exeter. I'm sure that nearly all of you will be familiar with the Center but for those of you who are not you will be in for a real treat.
There is an on site cafe (be warned this can get a bit swamped when the center is busy)
Segway guided tours of the forest
Go ape treetop adventure center
Mountain bike rental
A huge amount of forest walks with loads of stuff for the kids to do on the way round
Graded mountain bike trails
x2 mountain bike skills areas.
and a children's play area
Due to the popularity of Haldon I have decided to start this meet a bit earlier than normal at 10.am in order to try and enable us to park together. I will be setting up a gas stove and kettle under the awning and bringing stuff for tea and coffee for all of us (the cafes coffee isn't the best). I will also keep a hot frying pan on the go so if you want to bring a few rashers of bacon your welcome to cook it up. At 12 ish I will be heading out into the forrest on the mountain bike so anyone who wants to join me is more than welcome T:
For those that need it here is the map to the center
The car park is pay and display so loose change is an essential
Once again it really doesn't matter if the weather is torrential for this one as we can just head in the cafe for breakfast / brunch (what the cafe lacks in coffee it certainly makes up for with its cakes)
Once again it would be brill to know who is planning on attending this meet so pop up a post if your planning on attending. You never know I might even buy some doughnuts for everyone T:
