Essex Blat Mk 2 19Th Or 20Th May

[Pistol Pete]

Following the fanastic turn out for last Sunday's blat, hands up for another one on the 19/20 May?

I have a route in mind that will be slightly less trodden to the last one, but just as fun and a little bit less traffic. I'm just not sure what the cafe will be like and not sure where we will end up yet.

Obviously Tigger wont be there but I expect eveyone else to have a really good excuse!

I'm in if its the Sunday, working on the Saturday unfortunatly

Tigger, are you still out there?? Time to step up and take it like a man......

[Mark (smokey mow)]

Provissionally I'm in but May is filling up rapidly for me

I should point out that while you lot are doing a quick trip up to Stoneleigh I'll be on a 1250 mile road trip of Britain with a four (yes 4) speed gearbox - and loving every minute of it.

[Mark (smokey mow)]

Quick Trip to Stoneleigh not a chance, we'll all be parked up on the M1 trying to get Tigger moving again

:d :d

LOL, Suddenly I see your point!

19/20 May sounds good at the moment, count me in

[Tyson]

[Andy Banks]

Looks like the Sunday is the most popular. The half way cafe is at West Mersea Island, now the important point here is the Island bit - I've been warned I need to check when high tide is, as we may either not get to it or not get of it. :oops:

I'm also thinking of a 8:30 meet at the Lodge for 9am start in order to avoid the traffic.

[Mark (smokey mow)]

High tide is 12:50 (lunchtime) on the 20th, and it's a 4.6m tide. I don't think that's quite high enough for the Strood to cover the road, IIRC it needs to be over 5m.

:t-up:

I should be OK for this one, car is up and running now but funny how I seem to find other things to upgrade, tart up, and new Westfield 4 pots arriving Tuesday. Think it's called "Upgraditus".

Sorry I have just realised I am double booked for sunday (10 mile charity run) so will have to saturday.
