Mid-Essex Mid-Week Nocturnal Series

[tedshred]

I can't make it out this Wednesday but if there is Interest I could pop up to the Live and Let Live and see what the set up is if that helps

That is the sort of self-sacrifice upon which EER has been built

Exactly, I expect tippers will insist on sampling all their Ales and Ciders to ensure they're good enough for us.

Truly a selfless human being.👍

Any Colchester boozer works for me, I like Colchester.  I might even contemplate getting the train home 

[tippers_kiwi]

I shall report back later tonight. It will depend on how many times I have to sample the products on offer!

You need to be thorough.

I'd be keener on a more westerly venue than Colchester. Any others from this side out on Wednesday?

The Cock at Hatfield Broad Oak might be possible, seem to recall it having outdoor seating etc?

[tippers_kiwi]

No covered area, yet. It is being built but is about 3 weeks away. They do have tables out side but obviously not ideal if the weather is rubbish.
Beer, cider and merlot all seemed in order.

They did offer seating inside, 1 person per table and you cant turn the chairs around to face each other based on the rules. Could make a fun game

I have a working bike, and that would suit me. We might need to book a table ... they are serving food until 8pm. Pie night.

[jiberjaber]

Pie night is good, I've had a few romantic dinners in there as MEMWNS warm-ups 

I'm not out this week, busy being instructed on how to be an instructor...

I'll give them a ring and book an outside table if necessary. Wednesday's forecast: 9-10 degrees, cloudy with a 10% chance of rain. Any more Westerners out? Almost a local venue for Nick compared to the 'way beyond Chelmo' treks of late ...?

Ha ha, and I am planning on turning Wednesday's outing into a 100km. Sounds good anyway and I am defo in! Thanks

So what about the Eastern Easy Riders?  L&LL? Alma? A N Other option?

[tedshred]

I haven't managed to speak to everyone yet but the Swan at Totham looks favourite for tomorrow - they have a heated marquee that is within the Tier 2 rules.

Also so far:

Chequers, Goldhanger - benches under gazebos, no heating

Cross Keys, Hatfield Peverel, marquee heated (?)

Bell, Totham - 2 tables undercover with heating

Donkey & Buskins - umbrellas only

Alma - undercover and heated

Unless someone has a better idea fairly quickly, I will book the Swan.

Steady Mr F, that's over 10 miles riding.

Perhaps you could do it in stages.

[Carlosfandango]

I might have too!

[Oscar's dad]

Am I right in thinking the most efficient route from Witham to Little Totham incorporates TMNH?

[tedshred]

Booked it Danno
