So...Queens Head, Maldon? Or Blue Boar, or Heybridge pubs??
I'm in Hull. Have fun folks
Queens Head has a nasty little ramp back up to the High Street. DL can do repeats on that while we test the pumps.
How about meeting at the Queen's Head beer 'garden' on the quay and adjourning to the Blue Boar if necessary? They may even have the fire burning if it's chilly!
There is a less vertiginous way back up to the High St from the Quay.
Don't tell DL.He's going up the steep way playing a violin on a Brompton.
Yesterday evening we ate at the The Compasses, Great Totham - very nice it was. Tasty, hot, well priced pub food with a good standard of service. Top notch.

Without wanting to sound like a spoil sport I think the route from Layer Marney (Woodview Road) to Abbotts Wick Lane/Colchester Road is not a public right of way (although I am happy to be proved wrong) It's not a long extension though Layer Bretton and over the Reservoir though so we can always check it out and back track if required.
Thanks for the route Huggy, I also managed to plot one in my lunch break but you beat me to it on publishing on here!Quote from: tippers_kiwi on 03 June, 2015, 01:56:28 pmWithout wanting to sound like a spoil sport I think the route from Layer Marney (Woodview Road) to Abbotts Wick Lane/Colchester Road is not a public right of way (although I am happy to be proved wrong) It's not a long extension though Layer Bretton and over the Reservoir though so we can always check it out and back track if required.Having checked the trusted Streetview Tippers is correct this is a private road so we will need to reroute through Layer Bretton as Tippers has suggested!
Ok, I've updated the route on RWGPS, cut 5km off the distance!

We could, although that is bonus miles and I was being kind to our potential new member
I've just spotted the missing part of Huggy's route.If you lot aren't doing TMNH then I'm sure as hell not ! I will head towards Salcott and up Barnhall expecting to see you all coming the other way then enjoy watching DL disappear up Market Hill while the Hustler sandbags quietly behind him
No, you're fine.I'll keep an eye on the Hustler, make sure no money is changing hands if there are new riders.
