As an act of pure kindness, I went to test the route out today with our very own Jolly. We discussed it over lunch and have revised the route slightly.
The map link is available on the first page of this thread for you all.
First stop at Mundesley is about an hour from the start. There are a few cafes there for snacks, coffee and cake. Plan is to wait there for TDMick to join us. We decided to abandon the lunch stop at Cromer simply because it was only about 15-20 min away. With that in mind, lunch will be at the tried and previously tested chippy at Wells-Next-The -Sea (last years EAG2G, for those who were there).
Total route distance is open to discussion, due to Jolly's odometer reading different to mine. No doubt it will be different because my engine is the "wrong way round". Anyway, it's just a shade over 100 miles, so easily doable without refuelling.

And can I add were traveling at Trevini pace and not Jollys, hence the reason I managed to get 110miles before the fuel light came on!!
I made it 101.1mile and Trevini made it 102.8, he was spinning his up more I think!
But all in all a nice day out.

Well, obviously being an admin I couldn't possibly suggest you bring the Guzzi,
even though I'd love to see it and listen to the soundtrack, maybe even have a sit on it.

Oh all right then. The soundtrack is a little subdued at the mo 'cause I'm liking the peace and quiet of standard pipes, plus it doesn't attract quite so much attention when I'm giving it the beans (or whatever the Italian equivalent is).
