Karimura Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Should make it Bob, but probs meeting a mate in Basildon and eventually riding to Sarfend. Where is a good meeting point? we friends? But also to the map, they are funny looking back roads lol going through chelmo and wickford :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 But also to the map, they are funny looking back roads lol going through chelmo and wickford :3Hi Karimura......yeah those back roads are a route that BonnieBird's brother takes us to avoid the A127. We then drop down to the front east of the main esplanade and come back along. If it's a nice day you'll see why we do this..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seawolf84 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hi guys,We're planning to come (Seawolf+1) all depending on how tired I'd feel after a late night's flight the day before.9.30-10 sounds good, I'll keep an eye on here to see where you will meet.Cheers.

davefly76 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Ok...I've taken TC's lead and produced a little map with the proposed route. I think we may be linking up with BonnieBird's brother in Rayleigh at around noon.....so we'll probably have to be setting off from Huntingdon between 09:30 & 10:00. If anyone else is joining us enroute we'll arrange a rendezvous point and time a bit nearer.http://g.co/maps/kup8cMaybe people can post up if they are going to make it along so that we have an idea of numbers etc.Cheers,Bob I might be riding back from Edinburgh that day but if I don't go I may drop down from King's Lynn and meet you in Huntingdon.

Karimura Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Just looked at map the starting point goes over a motorway, can I (L plater) go over it on the bridge or does that count as being on the motorway : P if it does, I'll meet you guys over the otherwise in the first town that seems fine to meet in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefly76 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I don't think going over a motorway constitutes riding ON the motorway, unless the bridge forms part of another M-way. As long as the signs on the bridge entrance and exit are green and not blue then you will be fine.Just looking at the map do you mean the road that crosses the M11 just before Saffron Walden? If so then yes, you can ride on that road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Ok folks.....assuming that the weather for next Monday is OK...... The plan is to depart from Hartford Marina (PE28 2AA) at 09:30 Easter Monday .....so rendezvous there from 09:00. We'll follow the route that I put up further up the thread until I get lost....and then we'll make it up as we go along...... We plan to join up with BonnieBird's brother at the Travellers Joy pub in Rayleigh (SS6 9JF) around 12:00. Then ride into Southend via some of the back roads to avoid some of the congestion and make our way along the seafront and squeeze the bikes in amongst the other several thousand bikes there.If anyone else wants to meet enroute let me know and we'll sort meeting points and approx times.Hope that the weather picks up a bit as it's a really great day out...... If you are planning on coming along please indicate on the thread. Just so's we've got an idea and don't push off and leave people behind.....
