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 :D
-
Depends on work for me :(
-
Should be able to attend , am near Ashford so don't mind where i go .
-
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 ;)

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

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?
-
What time and where are you meeting tomorrow?
-
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. :lol
Having a little jaunt out on Friday though if this fits in with people better.
-
ooooo when you out on Friday? Day? Evening? My new exhaust bracket should be arriving today.....
-
What time and where are you meeting tomorrow?
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

Home now after a splendid evening with Arfur, Maxzer and his better half H. Atleast I presume better half and not the bit on the side ;) ;) nudge nudge.
Big thanks to Maxzer for leading.....I will sort google maps one day.
So what was learned from tonight
1. Never think you're off the hook, Arf has brought the cam
2. Herne bay fish n chips are splendid, even more so than those at Rye
3. The Mallow plant grows in the hedgerows of M2 Thanet way and are the original ingredient for making marsh mallows. (Info past by me at side of motorway)
4. Pillion passengers have their uses .........Gravel spotting ;)
H it's about time you registered on the forum perhaps as Gravel spotter or even cornier Stevies Wonder
SEE YOU SUNDAY ;)

Yes was splendid , cheers for the good company arfur & midden . We usually mostly ride alone so it made a welcome change :)

Was a really good ride, if a little fatiguing after getting up early and been at work all day. Still, it was great to sample some of the Kent roads and eat to top Chippie tea whilst watching the sun set over Herne Bay.
Mental note to self: must stop wearing sun glasses once the sun has gone down...
-
HARRY when you going to reschedule chippie night
-
Anyone up for a repeat this Wednesday?
