Only relatively!

I'll be riding my usual long distance route to the Donkey, see you all at 21:00

You're so hardcore!!  Don't get distracted by any bus shelters and take a nap on the way.

Don't worry I'll be fine on the way out, but on the way home......zzzzzzz

I think I'll be pootling out on the reversed inbound route and hope to intercept somewhere around the Kelvedon/Messing area.

You may overtake me at some point as I will be doing the same thing

Will you two be going down Pennsylvania Lane?

Unlikely given that your route to the pub does not go through Tiptree

BBC Look East Update... (exciting isn't it?    )
I have spoken to Karen@BBC and they are very keen indeed to meet us.  There is a question mark over whether they would have a camera crew available for the outside filming next Wednesday evening and then doing the live segment from The Compasses on Thursday evening.  So we might just go live from The Compasses on Wednesday evening.  However, leave this with me for the moment, I'm expecting a callback from Karen later this afternoon.

Just had a voicemail from Karen, she's struggling to track down the right people to get things organised and we can expect another update on Monday.

I'm sure them that are working need to make plans for tomorrow evening subject to where and what time.... is there an update on what's happening, are we meeting at Compasses for 18:30 or Spa for 18:30 ??

I was just about to post an update.  I phoned the BBC yesterday as requested but had to leave a message, I've heard nothing back.  I think we can assume that they're not interested anymore  so I suggest we crack on with our normal activities rather everyone put their lives on hold.  If the BBC do wake up they might be disappointed as I'm away next week.

So, where are we going to go...?

[jiberjaber]

I think most are aiming for Compasses?

That works for me.

[Jem]

I think most are aiming for Compasses?

We certainly were.
I'm in London tomorrow too so Compasses would be good.

[Oscar's dad]

The Beeb have just phoned. It’s deffo NOT happening tomorrow so let’s crack on as normal. Disappointed

You could do some filming on your Go-Pro and send it in....maybe we'll feature on an episode of Police, Camera, Action!

Compasses then ?

I just need to work out the logistics.

Why not? 

[tedshred]

Why not?

Well, I've become used to a venue within 6 miles of my house.

It's only Tuesday, still plenty of time for the venue to change

Donkey & Buskins ? 

[Oscar's dad]

Even after 10 years of these shenanigans I'm still perplexed why we rarely go to a Dunmow pub.  Do we just like making Tomsk suffer
