where abouts in england is dunwich? i've honestly never heard of the place.

thats coz you iz proper silly an that
:)

It's not in England, it's in East Angular.

It's not in England, it's in East Angular.

That's a Goody-ism if I'm not mistaken.

For the record Dunwich is situated on the Suffolk coast.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunwich

It is said that you can only arrive in dunwich from the east?

Long way round stylee

Interesting point: a lot of the old town of Dunwich was lost to coastal erosion. The 'lost city of Dunwich' is just off the coast under the sea. Apparently if there's a really low tide you can see the spire of the old Church.

True. Also at midnight on a full moon, the mayormaid of Olde Dunwich can been seen on the rocks eating a pie.

Just down the coast there are stories of the Merman of Orford.. Perhaps it's the same guy?

this will be the perfect warm up to my cycle to amsterdam that i start on the monday straight after.

Thanks Mr Killer...

Itinerarery:

Ride to Great Waldingfield while trying to avoid the Essex boys in their neon light equipped Corsas and the drunk girls in Sudbury
Queue for an hour for a cup of coffee
Ride to Dunwich while saying "this way!" every 10 minutes to people without a map
Queue for an hour for a cup of coffee and a Full English
Try to kip
Think about swimming, but decide not too
Catch a train to London

I think this is the point where I say "fixed".

Velocio - Following on from our discussion off thread, what are the arrangements that you currently have for a coach?

Cheers.

51-Seater luxury thing from PJ Ellis.
http://www.pjellis.co.uk/

Haven't yet confirmed the collection time from Dunwich... it seems most people were of the belief that we should aim for a 10am > 11am departure rather than my eager 8am departure. Those with knowledge of when the coaches left last time and whether that was a good time or not, please let me know.

The coach costs £495 which I'm happy for the forum to cover.

There will only be the 1 coach, and I don't anticipate that we would fill every seat in the coach, I would rather that all people who ride in the coach are comfy and that all bikes are transported with care.

And... what are the van arrangements to date?

None so far. I have looked at the cost of van hire and that's about it.

That gave me the cost of £160 including fuel.

I'm still happy to volunteer to do the driving. The sticky wicket is that I am now moving to Sheffield, which is a little further afield than Swindon. I had planned to ride to London, pick up the van and do the driving but this is now not possible. If the forum is feeling generous, a contribution towards the cost of a train ticket would be most welcome. Alternatively, if any other forum folk fancy being the driver, I'm happy to hand of the priviledge of looking after the forum bling.

Fixed or road bike Mr Object?

Does it matter, you'll call me gay which ever I take?

On a serious note, are you riding with socks?
If not I'd be highly tempted to say lets finish what we started last year.

socks are essential, otherwise you get sweaty feet and ruin your shoes...
