Where we've been

Burger by the sea 26/10/2024

From No 1 Coffee in Alresford down to Mick's Monster Burgers overlooking Portsmouth

A little cracker 14/09/2024

This was an absolute joy. Out through Hampshire and into Wiltshire on a cracking Autumn day. A lovely route through changing countryside to Three Daggers Farm shop for a bacon roll and a cuppa.

Surrey and Sussex 27/07/2024

A little jaunt down through Surrey and Sussex to a little gem nestling in the village setting in the countryside

It's all gone Hants 23/06/2024

Breakfast at the departure lounge followed by a little tour round the highways and byways of Hampshire ending up at Newlyn's farm for tea and, of course, a little cake!

Bognor and back 13/04/2024

A run out for a nice lunch at Highdown in Worthing then a stop at Garton's on the way back for coffee and, of course, cake!

Jackson Pollock 06/04/2024

A breakfast run to the Jackaroo Cafe at Thruxton Race circuit followed by a run home via The Polly Tearoom in Marlborough. The Lone Ranger breakfast was huge which left no room for cake at Polly's. Only Dave who had a meagre normal full English found room for cake. Unfortunately the Black Forest Gateau Mountain was too much for him - see gallery for evidence!

There and back 16/03/2024

A round trip out to the BUSTARD TEA ROOMS in Shrewton Wiltshire. A warm welcome from the lovely ladies running it and a proper pot of tea with a generous slice of home made cake. We'll be back!

Down and up 03/03/2024

Met up for brekky at the departure lounge and after a good full english set off in the sunshine for the seaside! Down through the Hampshire countryside to the seafront at Hayling Island for a cuppa. Came back up through a soggy West Sussex countryside planning on a stop at Billy's on the roadside but it was shut when we got there, so headed up to Dave's for a well earned beverage. The cappucino was as good, if not better than anywhere on the road and he didn't charge us a penny!

Down and around 10/02/24

Rescue mission to our dear old mum who was having laptop issues. Decided a bike rapid response was required so took a nice leisurely route via the Old Forge Tearoom in Hambledon. This was recommended to me by Fi Stirton from 3 Counties Bikers - thanks Fi!

Three Counties 6/1/24

This one started with a Full English breakfast at The Shack cafe on the A30 at Hook. This was unanimously agreed on as being essential to maintain core body temperature in the cold and wet conditions - it's tough being an intrepid adventurer! After a second cuppa (just to be sure) we hit the soggy roads down to The Tea Barn at Durleighmarsh near Petersfield. Great coffee and the best Bakewell Tart that we can remember. A hard choice this was due to the wonderful choice of homemade cakes on offer so we will have to make a return visit!

Breakfast run 25/11/23

A little run out for Breakfast at The Departure Lounge followed by a compulsory coffee stop at Coffee #1 in Alresford. There is a chance we may have sampled their cakes.

Hants and Berks 11/11/23

A sausage sarnie at Jace's before winding our way down through a bit of Hampshire then up through Berkshire to a lovely remote oasis called Priscilla's Kitchen at East Garston. Shared the parking space with Horses, cyclists and cars then enjoyed a fine pot of tea with a light lunch followed by some compulsory cake!

Coffee and cake with a view 16/9/23

We met up at one of our favourite locations - Gartons in Midhurst and took a ride along the A272 to Petersfield and then a little loop south to take in the views from Butser Hill off the A3. Luckily, there is a cafe at the top of the Hill so we sat on a bench taking in the view and topped up the cake intake with a brownie of flapjack or similar low calorie morsel. This is where the photo of us looking like Compo, Clegg and Foggy was taken by a Lady we didn't know who thought we were sweet!

Up and down 13/8/23

This ride took us out through lovely villages of Berkshire and Oxfordshire to Annie's Tea room at Thrupp in Oxfordshire. Annie's is in a lovely setting by a canal Lock serving home baked goodies in a tranquil location. From there we went a short hop to Huffkins in Witney for a Cappucino and Cake stop and then down to Newbury, via the glorious B4494 out of Wantage, to the Teashop by the canal.

Hants and Wilts 6/8/23

This ride took us out through some of our favourite countryside to The Polly Tea rooms in Marlborough Wiltshire, which happens to also be one of our favourite cake and pastry purveyors. Good tea and a wide range of naughty cakes so sometimes we have to have two!
