Thorpe Abbots Two Times, Norfolk - 9th September 2026

It's Thorpe Abbots two times in two days, the first of which is a trip with Mick the Brick to the 100th Bomb Group museum for a poke around and an Eccles cake, and then the BSCC is out for the last ride of the season to Brockdish King's Head. From there, we decide we want to go to the Crossways at Scole, however this requires a half a mile ride down the main A143 before we head off through the village of Thorpe Abbots and right past the museum for the second time.
