  10. Any of you Cornish guys know of the nearest DOC branch down here? Plymouth I guess but have memories of meets at Portreath or Porthtowan?
    What about Kernowisti?

  11. There used to be a meet by a pub under the Tamar bridge years ago. Would like to know as would pop along.

  18. Came down two weeks ago to stay in Mamhead with daughter. Haldon cafe was open then and looked pleasant in the sunshine.

  19. Yes, the Haldon Cafe is a good cafe/location for a Ducati meet. We (Ducatisti) met there a few times (Saturday morning) but it faded out of attendance by the Ducatisti. Maybe it was too far for those up in the M5 North'ish direction and too far for those from deepest Cornwall.
    Somewhere in the area of Honiton/Tiverton/Collumpton 'ish would be better for those up the M5 I would expect and possibly those a bit further West.
    To work for those in both Cornwall/Devon somewhere in the area bounded by Plymouth/Bodmin/Bude/Okehampton looks more central.
    Hayle for a Tuesday night as suggested by Desmo Pete is too far down for an evening run from Plymouth/Exeter to be honest but I expect it would be fine for those nearer. Now if it was on a Saturday morning I'd be up for it.
    I love to see/hear the Ducatis get together so any meet suggestions would be appreciated.
