Sorry for slow reply @7ven but its my first Strava map!
I have tried to make the route as easy and hill less as possible but its not the easiest area to do this, i should chosen Essex as the location but it wouldn't have been much of a challenge for the bikes so here it is,
"https://www.strava.com/routes/9981628"
The hills are fairly gradual so it shouldn't be to bad, @anidel don't be put off from bringing the Holdsworth I'm looking forward to seeing it.

I will bring it, just wondering if I should try to put the Cyclo Ace on it and risk not coming or just bring it as is in single speed more...need to have proper brake power though.
What brake pads you dudes use on steel rims? I've got the Koolstop orange, ops, salmon, ones, but they don't seem nice, particularly in wet. I might actually probably go as fixed as in that case I can use my legs to slow down.

Ah, Knatts Valley and Stinker pot Lane as my partner calls it. Looks like a good route. Not sure what I'll bring but will endeavour to get one of my bikes up and running for it. Quite fancy bringing the Blue Riband but may need to walk up Tinker Pot on 50/14

Starting to get quite excited about this. Took the Blue Riband out for a very short cruise this morning to make sure the vintage tubs still hold air and that nothing fell off/apart. Managed a short 5km and have lived to tell the tale. I'll dig out a Lytaloy brake and install it but will have to absolutely grind/walk up the hills as I cbf finding a small inch pitch sprocket ring.

Sounds good! Any hills?
