A total of ten riders, plus two pillion passengers, had a pleasant ride from the Virginia Ash pub in Henstridge to Mapperton House Cafe near Beaminster. The weather was favourable and the roads were dry and clear.
We were all happy with the “Follow the Leader” system and with a little bit of care it worked well and all arrived on time.
The cafe supplied plentiful tea and cake to order and a lot of motorcycle chat was indulged in! Whilst the cafe is free to access, the House and Gardens are open to the public for an admission fee. Members of the Historic Houses Association gain free entry.
