RantMachine Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I don't know why my shift tomorrow ends. Are people staying at the marina or heading on to the White Swan from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RantMachine Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 BBC weather says clear skies over Hartford Marina, Accuweather says some light showers around 5. I'll be going out regardless, need to get out of the house before I go mad. Still not sure when I finish work but assuming it's not too late I'll head to the Marina first.

nman1 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Pretty overcast here as well. On leave so been chilling with a film and a beer. Doubt I'll make it as I' tempted to have another. Next week for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RantMachine Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'll sit there on my own if I have to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RantMachine Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 FINALLY been told when I finish today, escaping at 17:30 - so I'll probably be arriving just after 18:00. Better be at least ONE familiar face there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 light drizzle here so another boring night in, next week for me unless raining, have a good one,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RantMachine Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 WOW Only one other bike here and no rider to be seen, so guessing it belongs to the staff. Hartford Marina is most certainly NOT back to former glory. Off to the White Swan I go, there might actually be someone else there...

Roadrunner Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Think its going to take time for people to realise that its open again and most wont bother till next year time will tell. hope weather is good for next week may be a couple more turn up.

Bonniebird Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 White Swan was reasonably busy. Think quite a few of the Marina crowd now go to the Missing Sock over towards Newmarket way on a Tuesday night. Perhaps we could meet over there Darren. Roads not too interesting from our place though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 was at marina tonight got there about 7.15 about 10-15 bikes there in total they didnt hang around to long,i was in the car as mrs eab was with me and we decided at last minute to go out for dinner food was up to its usual great standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hi mandy thanks for the info will see what happens next year, hopefully will get to one of the meeting next week and have a natter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Went to Hartford - No-one there and the weather was looking 'iffy' so went home! Off on 'Tags' on Sunday - Looking to head out to south-west Derbyshire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RantMachine Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 So in conclusion, there were actually a few of us at the Marina, just all at different times and all gave up quickly due to the poor turn out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 I never felt that latterly we were welcome at the Marina. Was chatting to the guy who does the BBQ and serves at the White Swan on Tuesday.....he is actually interested in bikes and knows about them..... I'll go where people want to meet up......but will likely end up at the White Swan at some point on Tuesday evenings..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RantMachine Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I do like the White Swan more than the Marina, I must admit. Not as nice as Papworth was, but not a lot of option there Tempted to give The Missing Sock a look though. Not much of a ride from mine though, just around the ruddy corner on the A14...

Mr Fro Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I do like the White Swan more than the Marina, I must admit. Not as nice as Papworth was, but not a lot of option there Tempted to give The Missing Sock a look though. Not much of a ride from mine though, just around the ruddy corner on the A14...The Missing Sock has had a pretty good turn out from the times I've been past on the way the Conington. Not as much older metal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RantMachine Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Might give it a shot next week if anyone else is game, drab as the ride may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
