Mid-Essex Mid-Week Nocturnal Series

[jiberjaber]

In the spirit of collaboration, how about someone lists the pubs and locations and I'll randomly add them to the calendar ? (I might take a view on winter roads accessibility IICBA )

[huggy]

 

Thought Tomsk had already made the decision for this week

The Viper is a good as anywhere for Chelmo - let's go with that and I'll inform Nick.

Before Oaky pipes up, there is this in existence, may need a little updating but at least a couple of years worth of options there

Of the missing ones, there's the Monkey, Terling

Probably a number of others, but it's not my specialist subject.

[tippers_kiwi]

Live and Let Live....nothing to do with the fact it's a 10 minute walk from home 

[jiberjaber]

OK -SCIENCE!......

Our official COG

 (Not sure it will be more accurate if I ask you for all your weights.....)

Sooooooo, back to tomorrow evening.  Bearing in mind the above quoted post, have we all accepted that we are heading for The Viper to meet Nick from Blackmore?

Or has jibers got everyone so confused that tomorrow evening the good people of Cressing will be wondering why their normally sleepy village is suddenly full of confused looking cyclists?

Interesting, and rather close to the Witham base of many

Right, that's good enough for me; I'm going to The Viper as well, see you there!

Looks like a toss up between the Cross Keys (not MEMWNS visited) in White Notley and The Vine (MEMWNS visited) in Black Notley are the COG, neither of which are on the list.
Maybe we should go to one of those tomorrow 

[jiberjaber]

I think the Viper is the one for tomorrow... I've been compiling a 'distance from MEMWNS COG as a flying animal might take' for the list of pubs and it makes interesting reading - no idea what I might do with it

Know the flight paths and where to wear your hard hat

Likewise - unless work conspires against me, I'll be there too - do we still aim for 9pm? (you can tell that I don't get out regularly on a Wednesday night!)

[huggy]

I'll be there too - do we still aim for 9pm?

Yep, 9pm ETA, likely a pretty direct route for the Witham Peloton.

Oh, is that a direct route you were going to propose?   

[jiberjaber]

Then:
20 Sept: Hurdlemakers
Leather Bottle (BLKMRE)
Chequers Goldhanger
BlueBoar Maldon
Leather Bottle Pleshey (is this still open and do we want to substitute with a nicer pub - i.e. on closer to Ted? The Kings Head - Tollesbury)
25 Oct: Woolpack Chelm Beer festival
3 Elms
Rose & Crown, Great Waltham

POW, Stow Maries

6 Dec: Woolpack, Xmas Beer festival

it gets a bit Chelmo based after that but I suspect some will be dry January: Woolpack, Cats, Endeavour, The Hoop

[Oscar's dad]

Good effort!!!

Excellent, thanking you. Where does one find the forward planning calendar?

On The Google.

[jiberjaber]

Following on from our forward planning document curated by OD and the discussions in the pub last night....  I've created a Google Calendar with his suggestions in and some of you might have received an invite already for it to be shared with you... if you are a regular attendeeeee and would like to be in on the list, please drop a message to either myself or OD to add you to the list it's shared with.   

I don't think I have any email address details for SSN, Jan or Andrew... so if you would find the calendar useful, drop either Steve or myself an email...

Drop me a line with a suitable google email address for me to add you...  The calendar is already shared to you as  "me@*************.com" (I've obs removed the domain )

[BFC]

For information: one of the pubs we have been to before

The George Inn at Shalford has been closed for quite a while but was due to re open with new tenant last weekend. Their cellar got flooded so re opening was delayed.

Info from their neighbor, probably best to let him test the new landlord before we decide to go back.

[psyclist]

Oh yes, I can see it   Thank you

I don't really use Google calendar for anything, but if I create a link to the Google calendar as a reoccurring appointment in the calendar that I do use, then all should be well.

For those interested and free on Thursday (7th September), Tomsk and I are heading to Clacton for the Tour of Britain TT stage. Getting the 0952 from Chelmsford which goes through Witham at 1003.
