Gutted I missed this one... I was at an event in Chipping Warden miles away! Do we have a contingent going to the BMWCC event on the 13th April?
As for Bristol Vanilla... If its a sunny day look up the circular road on Durdham Down, (The Downs to us locals). Nice cruising drive along the top of the avon gorge. Stop off by the ice-cream van and take a look at the Clifton suspension bridge with a 99flake in hand. Walk round and see the "Goats in the Gulley" as well as rock climbers/abseilers when its sunny. Free to park everywhere up there. Short drive then to Clifton village where you can grab a coffee, pint or food. May I recommend the Coronation Tap. Cider pub that sell 16% cider by the half pint
White ladies road has plenty of pubs, bars, places to eat. Plenty of nearby parking to. That leads down to Clifton triangle. May I recommend Grillstock there if you like smokehouse food. They smoke all their own meat and BBQ it all there too. Plenty of pulled pork, brisket, burgers and even an eating challenge! They hold their own BBQ festival on the harbourside every year of the same name.
Tonnes to do and see... way to much for a post
