Where from?

Norwich - hence the Norwich forums!

Yep

Love to. Got hat & jacket ready.

I could even, with (very) little encouragement, be convinced to wax my 'tache for the 'tache comp.

Sweet so we can meet up in the city before hand for fry up?

I'll be cycling up Norwich first from Dereham with a mate so will have a nice and refreshing start to the day!

oh p.s.

Do you have to book a bike on the train?

I take the London train all the time - lovely big shed-like carriage for bikes, no need to book.

You don't have to book a bike on but if there are a few of you going it might be an idea to book them on. It's free, you just have to call up and tell them what train you're getting.
If there isn't space in the bike section and you have it booked on then they will try to squeeze it on, if you haven't booked it on you'll be left on the platform waiting for the next train.

Good point. I'm going to scour the charity shops of Norwich this month. I have a brown, thick-weave jacket which I can use as a last resort. Need a hat, though...

I've got a tweet hat but I would ideally like to get a flat cap (so much more stylish!) Just going to wear that and some braces/shirt then a scarf.

Did anyone here ever go to Gressenhall on a school trip? You had to dress as a Victorian urchin. Would've been perfect, if I hadn't grown in the last 15 years...

you'd be so much better off looking for stuff up in norwich. there must be some good vintage tweeds up there!

Ah ha ha! I actually remember that! Pretty sure I borrowed my dads flat cap, got some football socks to wear with the trousers too.

Did you go spence? I know that sparky was on his way...

Aye, we both went.

Good day? Ya missed a good ride last night!

I missed the end of a good ride, was there for the start. Nice day out today - pics as soon as I get back to my own PC (Mac).

Blumin good day out, can't say I've ever seen London like it before. 400 people jumping red lights and everyone with huge smiles on their faces. Just makes me wonder how they are going to top it next year!
