Ten bikes turned out for the first ride out of 2023. The original destination was to be to Eric’s Cafe at Thornham but this was revised when we found out that they didn’t open until noon. We considered Thornham Deli but as it is a very popular destination we weren’t sure if they would be able to accommodate ten bikers and their gear. So we decided to progress a little further down the coast to Deepdale Cafe. Leaving the Pullover roundabout we made our way in 2 groups of 5 to Gayton going past King’s Lynn’s own insurance specialists for a change of scenery. Then it was on to Hillington crossing the A148 to the Birchams, through Docking to Ringstead and onto the coast road to our destination.
It was a bright day but the roads were greasy and treacherous in places where heavy machinery had left their mark.
The cafe was a good choice as they were very accommodating allowing us to push several tables together so that we could sit as a group. As is standard practice tea and coffee were imbibed and the toasted tea cakes were very popular. Being so close to home for the majority, Roly has a bit of a trek, we made our way back in much smaller groups.
A very encouraging start to the new year let's hope the weather is as kind for the next trip. Keep it sunny side up.
Cheers Dave C
