2008-04-12 Sat - London to Southend-on-Sea II

This seems like quite a late start. Do we not want to meet up earlier like last Saturday?

And avoid possible rain.

Is it the same distance as Brighton. I guess once we get there it will be more a case of coming straight home. Don't fancy sitting around watching loads of idiots racing their fords up and down the sea front

I think he's got a point. Thery're forecasting rain by one ish, London and Southend. Maybe meet ought to be 8. Might be a good idea for those with families etc, makes sure the whole day isn't eaten up by this.
