What ever is easy it for everyone

Haynes is in Sparkford, Somerset, East of Yeovil.
Minehead is on the west coast, quite a trek from Sparkford, so including both would be a challenge.
The railway from Minehead goes almost into Taunton, (not allowed to link with mainline, mostly politics), so could be picked up there, to use the train to Minehead, but still probably needs an overnight somewhere.
Quite a challenge to set that one up.

Yes sorry I meant Minehead is where the train goes to - best to pick it up from Bishops Lydeard (all sorts of reasons, catching the morning steamer not the least of them - anyway we don't want Fiat's on the coast with all that salt......) which is nearer to Haynes I believe.

The railway is a day trip but you couldn't do both in a day (the train takes quite a while to do its 29 miles or whatever it is - working from a broken memory so feel free to correct me!) - that's why I threw an overnight into the question. Might be quite nice to stop over and make it a couple of days - or not obviously!

To far my more local

There will be another Vintage Stony meeting happening in the summer, entry is free for visitors so could be worth a visit and its only about 5 minuites from the super sausage.
