Myself and Midden and hopefully Dazza are heading out to the seaside after work on Thursday 3rd July.

I was thinking Folkestone, via the Wingham Bends (just outside canterbury) for some seafood, fish and chips and maybe a shandy. (over venues are available, Rye, Hastings, etc.)

Who fancies it?

Don't all rush at once

dazza · « **Reply #2 on:** 21 June 2014, 08:31:28 pm »

Would be good to have you on board Maxzer. I work in Canterbury, Midden is Gravesend and Dazza near Sittingbourne so we'll find somewhere for us all to meet. Maybe Canters (because I'm lazy (and I think Dazza will like the Wingham bends)).

Dazza likes all benders

What time set off did you have in mind and where from? I work in SE1, but with a bit of notice could probably leave early (4pm odd). I guess that's still ample time to have a chippy tea at seaside.

A chipy tea is the whole point af the ride....Midden could easily die of starvation between Gravesend and the seaside, so sustinance is a must, we can't have a man down!
Time wise, I finish at 5 (working in Canterbury), so whatever time people can all make depending on when they get out from work etc. If you leave London at 4ish you'll deffo have time to meet up with us somewhere. I'd say meet me in Canters around 5.30, something like that and we'll go from there.
I'd say, if you are coming down the A2 from London, grab Midden at Nell's cafe (Gravesend).

Oh dear, Clearly we couldn't trust our lives to you on a expedition to the Pole. It's Arfa who could die of starvation, I'm packing for a long winter

Possibly, as I have the children that day, so depends what time and where you meet and when I can escape

Could always try & catch you up lol

Would you be going to Whistable or somewhere that way? Good to see you yesterday

Hey exup......you do know the first one there buys the fishes and chippies

dazza · « **Reply #15 on:** 01 July 2014, 06:59:02 pm »

That looks like the Isle of Grain across the water so Lower road, Gillingham, or further along towards upchurch I would say.

Looks like there's a school strike going on Thursday. Hopefully still be able to juggle stuff and make it, but slim chance I'll have to play Daddy daycare. Will let you know tomorrow or Thursday morning.

Scratch that, school strike is next Thursday. Should definitely make it. Midden: meet you at Nells Caf at 5.30pm ish?

Farjo · « **Reply #18 on:** 02 July 2014, 06:52:57 pm »

What time and where are you meeting tomorrow?

dazza · « **Reply #19 on:** 02 July 2014, 11:39:20 pm »

I won't be able to make this. Promised my daughter I'd go to watch her in her school play. Hell hath no fury like a ten year old girl scorned.

Having a little jaunt out on Friday though if this fits in with people better.

HarryHornby · « **Reply #20 on:** 03 July 2014, 07:19:02 am »

ooooo when you out on Friday? Day? Evening? My new exhaust bracket should be arriving today.....

I'm not working today so time is for you and arfur to decide. That is if you're both up for a ride without Harry the routemaster

Farjo · « **Reply #22 on:** 03 July 2014, 08:41:55 am »

Any time for me.

Arfa · « **Reply #23 on:** 03 July 2014, 10:04:47 am »

midden · « **Reply #24 on:** 03 July 2014, 11:46:35 am »
