Mid-Essex Mid-Week Nocturnal Series

You have no sense of adventure.

You have no sense of adventure.

I've just got sense.

[Carlosfandango]

The shortest sensible route from here to the King Billy is 32km. With some COR it'll take me 90 minutes.

Much as I ❤️ you and your sense of adventure, I CBA with 3 hours in the pissing rain tonight.

You couldn't even be bothered with 5 miles down the road to Great Tey last week on a very dry and mild evening

Exactly, so I'm not gonna make the KB tonight. (It was pissing down that night too, here anyway)

Also, I'm a bit busy at the moment. I can't afford the anaesthetised braincells slowing me down in the morning.

Thanks for the offer OD, but I have to be in Colchester in the morning.

That wasn't what I meant although you'd be welcome to camp in the garden even though it confused the hell out of the cats!

I suspect you've confused them enough already, so I'll have to refuse your generous offer of a shared bivibag I'm afraid.

But he's got a tarp and trowel too!

I was trying not to remember the trowel jiber.

[Oscar's dad]

Its orange.

Sorry, I am out due to the weather. Be soaked by the time I get home and don’t fancy going back out in it. Sorry again.

Don't worry, join the fairy club,  that makes 3 of us with common sense. Hopefully see you next week.

[Oscar's dad]

See what you've done???  Me and Oaky have decided we too can't be arsed so I have cancelled our table at the King Billy 

[Tomsk]

But ... it's the ideal opportunity to test your winter wet weather gear, before the really bad weather sets in! I have treated my Shimano leather winter shoes with boot wax as the Goretex failed from the toes on the 400km last weekend and want to see how they hold up to dampness - they're otherwise in reasonable shape and might last another year or two.

Who's left from the Compasses six?

You pair of big fairies, where's your sense of adventure?🤣

Ha ha ha - the really funny thing is that I stayed largely dry on the way home from work so I decided that I'd pop indoors for a quick coffee and then head straight out.
I'll just check the forum, I thought, and let them know... 

Seriously though, my son is at respite tonight so its a nice chance to spend a bit of quality time with the rest of the family.
Next time

You'll regret not going out this evening when we're all locked down again until next year
