If the weather Dr Pink cake forecast is good I could be persuaded 
Can't make a Saturday though.

What distance is that TF? I had a look at the trains from Pottyburgh an they are very frequent, even on a Sunday but don't start till after 11am. I thinking of cycling up and getting a train back if I'm knackered if not cycle. I could drive up but I'd rather not.

You will have to do the askingIf theweatherDr Pink cake forecast is good I could be persuaded
The distance we did today was 52 miles but I have options for cutting that shorter by various degrees, it is 25 miles to the cake stop / ski lodge [not saying any more]. Cycling here is definitely doable and train back sounds sensible although car might be more practicable, though I think I know what you mean.

I'm not too bothered with quantity.. Quality and variety is more my thing!

Potsy is a bit scared of Rutland not enough traffic, but should he ever arrive and should you sit next to him at a cake stop, I would wager you will be dumbstruck with admiration with the efficiency at which cakes are dispatched. Really quite awesome, you could learn a lot. Actually you could always come with us up to sunny Lancashire where it never rains and it is very fixed friendlyLets make sure we don't sit next to each other during the cake consuming period..

Like the sound of this (depending on weather on the day!!). Do I really, really have to like cakes? I'll be taking the previous Thursday off to bake large volumes of (easy, and portable in panniers) stuff for Friday's Children in Need event at work - my last day at work, incidentally - and I may well be sick of the sight of cakes by Sunday. Will there be any, mmm, vegetarian savoury options at the cake stop? (This is not a decisive factor, BTW).
I'm now just winding down after producing what I hope will be about a year's worth of mango chutney - would you like a small jar, TF/Dr P?

Hope so as others have to be convinced too
You are one of the Rutland posse now [2 rides to qualify], so far as quality of food and options available at this stop, let's just say I have never been to a better one, in fact the ride is worth doing just for the eating. Do we want a jar of chutney? You bet, one of my favourites.
