Eastern then  :thumbsup:

Now that you are another year older, do we need to make any special adjustments in our service ?

Who told you that?

Anyway, I'm counting backwards now, so no adjustments needed :P

The Hustler is already helping the GFP with some "forgetfulness issues" we can make any necessary adaptations.  Don't be afraid to ask Customer Services.

Cross Keys Hatty P?
You can’t just call time out and stroll on into the beach if you don’t like the way things are goin’.

Cross Keys is a bit neither here nor there but it probably has the advantage of being equally bad for everyone not from the Centre of the Known Universe.

Depends how far the Intrepid Nick is willing to ride and how near to home Fandango wants to be.

I will consult the ACME Triangulator.  The weather seaweed is favourable.

Advantage of a train assist home in either direction

Not so good for train assist south west as they finish early.

In the absence of the cowboys from out west, the ACME Triangulator also suggested the Hurdlemakers as a possible venue.  It's about the same for Nick and I but no train assist.  Train assist saves me about 10k on the way back so not really worth it.  They don't currently have much first class accommodation on the new trains so Fandango is on a boycott.

Had the cowboys been coming, Chelmsford seems to work well.

Fandango and I will build up to a SH run when the weather improves a bit.

Woodham Walter vs Hatty P is fairly even for south-east and south-west contingents but Hatty P may be a little kinder to the more northerly clans of Suffolk and Hertfordshire? The alternative is to go for 2 splinters as we're likely to be seeing each other at the next 2 weekends anyway.

So far there's only 4 of us plus a possible sighting of the Family Cyclist (assuming you are coming out to play Little Spoon ?).

Let's see who else puts their hand up and make a decision.

In as respectful a way as possible, people from the Centre of the Known Universe don't really count as everywhere is handy for you guys.

Strangler - Cross Keys works as a train assist for you ?

Fandango - is the Hurdlemakers within range ?

That does help - not that it wouldn't have been lovely to see you of course.

Currently planning to come out to play but did wimp out last week… my nervous disposition notwithstanding, I shall be there to make up the cutlery canteen.

I may need to set off at lunchtime, but I should be out.

Are we agreed on The Hurdlemakers ?

You can tow me most of the way home Fandango, just don't forget I'm behind and zoom off like you usually do.
