Despite the weather there was a good turnout of 9 riders plus pillions for the first WightRATs Island run. Kevin and Lee at the shop kindly made us all welcome with free coffee before we gathered round our new WightRATs banner for a photo-shoot.
Our first stop at the Cafe of new Brading Roman Villa provided an excellent venue for riders to become acquainted for the first time. An enjoyable ride was had through the windy roads to Ventnor and along the St.Lawrence Undercliff to our next stop at Blackgang. The idea was that we would stop briefly for an ice-cream whilst enjoying the view over West-wight but alas the fog made even finding the car park a hit and miss affair. There was no sign of an ice-cream van either although it's possible it may have been there; we just couldn't see it!
That didn't stop us enjoying our company though and we rounded the route off by returning to Dave Deaths. Kevin kindly kept the shop open until our return and had even made a few small sales which he assured us would pay his wages for that month!
