Dear members of the Dolomite club,

On the 26th of April 2014 there will be 2 dutch dolly's arriving in Harwich ( parkeston quay )
We are planning to make a tour through England and Wales.
Places we will be visiting are: Gaydon, Stratford upon Avon, Hereford, Pembroke, Newport ( nr Cardiff ), Bath, Porlock ( in a fantastic B&B ), The new forest ( Beaulieu ), The isle of Wight (Newport ), Canterbury and then back to Harwich.
Try to find us and make a picture of our cars and post them on this forum ( same as some of you did in 2011 )

Looking forward to this vacation !

( Maybe ) see you! :bluewave: :bluewave:

Peter,

Sounds like a lovely trip. Can I make a suggestion?

If you're travelling from Porlock to Beaulieu, you will pass very close by to a very good motor museum at Sparkford - the Haynes (him of the manuals) International Motor Museum.

It's just a little bit off the A303 near the town of Yeovil, and is well worth a visit if you haven't been before.
