Enjoy your trip - don’t forget about the horses!:D
 
What happens to the rods when you have to put the roof up?

Surprisingly they do fit,just. The longest goes through passenger door across behind drivers head rest and with a slight
Bend and it pops into passenger foot well.
Not ideal for any passenger , but needs must
 
Hope the weather is decent for you, sounds like you're in for a great weekend :thumbsup:.
Just saw the forcast for Monday........bloody snow :mad:.
 
Have a great trip @N4LLY
Just along the coast at Lime Regis there's a cracking little pub called "The Volunteer" that does good beers. It's on the main road through the "town", up the hill on the left hand side, and just outside Lime Regis there is a Cider Farm that sells "Jack Ratt Cider" which you'll probably guess is where I got my username from. It commemorates Jack Rattenburg who was a famous local smuggler.

A bit further up the road at Bridport there's a few more good pubs. Bridport used to be the main supplier of ropes to the Royal Navy. They used to grow the Hemp and Flax on the hills around the town.

Here's an interesting fact if you're a pub quizzer. Bridport also was the main supplier of ropes for our hangmen in the old days of capital punishment and if you met your end after an appointment with the hangman, it was often referred to as being despatched by a Bridport dagger.

There's a great pub called "The Ropemakers" which is also a music venue, and the town still has it's old family run brewery, Palmers.

Great little town
 
Have a great Birthday weekend :p
