WHAM Exmoor Weekend 2026
2026-05-29 - 2026-05-31
Following the success of our weekend trip last June, we have decided to repeat it as part of the Wham 2026 events calendar. Come and join us for some great roads and company as we explore exciting Exmoor and Tony’s great routes! This years trip will be from 29th-31st May. Meeting on the morning of the 29th, at Starbucks Tewksbury, staying at the Raleghs Cross Inn for 2 nights, heading home on the 31st May. We have 17 rooms reserved for us, (doubles & twins), which will be held exclusively for us until the 6th March so please don’t delay, book yours today!!
Prices vary depending on single or double occupancy and room type and are on a first come first served basis. Please call the Raleghs Cross directly to book your room on 01984 640343 & quote Wham to gain access to our reservation. Full payment will be taken at time of booking.
For those hardier souls, there are camping facilities that some members used last year & were pleased with. Please note: Once booked, in the event that you cannot attend, the booking will be transferable to a future date or to another Wham member if possible. No refunds will be issued.
I will send out the Raleghs Cross menu closer to the date, and for those who want to dine there in the evenings, I will compile a pre-order in April. Please let me know once you’ve booked your room so that I can add you to the list for menu pre-order and to send any trip updates.
We’ve changed some of the routes significantly this year so please ensure you have the latest routes in your satnav.

WHAM 2026 Slow Riding Day
2026-06-20 10:30 - 15:30
WHAM Slow Riding Day Our most popular training day of the year – held once again at Madley Industrial Estate near Hereford. A must for Associates and recommended for full members, especially those who have recently passed their test. Slow riding is an important skill and our Slow Riding day gives WHAM Members a chance to practice in a safe environment and have fun at the same time.
There will be a slalom course, figure-of-eights and our famous obstacle course. The afternoon session will up the pace with a chance to practice emergency braking and counter steering.
This excellent day culminates in a very competitive slow ride between the start and finish line, and the winner is, (yes you guessed it) the slowest rider of the day. This lucky individual gets to hold the Slow riding trophy for the rest of the year.
Please arrive promptly on the day, it is a great day out in good company and a bit of banter too, what’s not to like. See you there!
Open to all WHAM Members and Associates – refreshments in the form of soft drinks, cakes and sandwiches provided for a small charity contribution.
