If there’s a western venue I’ll venture out.

Looks like there could be enough for a Western Splinter group.

Any suggestions ?

I don't mind returning to the Duke's Head in Hatfield Broad Oak. Or there's the Thatchers in Hatfield Heath which is also equidistant from everybody except GavinC. I've not been to the Thatchers, but it looks like it's been around for a while ... approx 500 years.

The Duke's Head in HBO was a lucky find last year and is probably central-west enough to be Owen & Gavin friendly.

There was a lot of flooding in the HBO area when I rode through yesterday thought the B183 was the lesser of them all... and after braving the B183 past the Dukes Head in flood avoidance the usual junction of Crabbs Green was unusualy dry!

The weather looks decent (tailwind home) and I have some regained mojo so will stick a loop in on the way.

Meet at 8pm or earlier ?

I'm aiming to not be out too late, as I'm going away after work on Thursday.

From the thread above I was planning to get to the Swan at Little Totham - aiming for a 2045 (ish) arrival - and bypassing the roundabout....
