A decent turnout from the Witham peloton last night with myself, Huggy, OD, Andy C33, Trainmanbri, Steve Everitt and Bobb all departing Spa Rd roundabout at 7.30pm, TMNH and
Doggers Hurrells Lane bound....... final destination The Three Elms - Chignal St James.
As we neared our final destination we swept up Tomsk and as we edged ever closer we also picked up Ted (who was putting in some huge miles riding from his office in Chelmsford!
)
In a first and much to OD's delight the Dave Warren jazz band were in attendance at the pub and despite OD's despair that they didn't know and therefore couldn't play his Dambusters request some decent tunes were played one of which was apparently for us!
I sampled a Hedge Hop first off which was top notch, followed up by Darklight (or something along those lines
) and finished off with a nice IPA from Farmers Ale's in Maldon.
Talk was of Ted and Andy's first 400k escapade and also some research that was done around the infamous
Doggers Hurrells Lane, which ended in the conclusion that you need a van to be included in the gang that congregate there - step forward Huggy......
particularly with that sticker!!!
Another top notch MEMWNS evening with an enjoyable route courteousy of OD
