Postponed! - Pirate Ride

Hell yeah.

Route yet to be decided... a list is what we need.

Pillaging and plundering mandatory, as is fancy dress.

Start Location: Cutty Sark wreck down in Greenwich, South side of the river (but you can go through the foot tunnel if you're North side).

Start Time: 14:30 (to depart by 15:00)

[edit]Postponed as a result of me being out of the city and not enough planning to handover at last minute... we'll get it together early next year and do it properly.[/edit]

We'll be meeting at the Cutty Sark I guess? And claim we burnt it to the ground?
We must have some maritime geeks on here, maritime london wouldn't be too hard to do....

Golden Hinde too.

Good thinking - wasn't Capt Kidd executed near Wapping?

aaaHAAAAAR!

Ah yes...from here...

[ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Kidd[/ame]

He was hanged on May 23, 1701, at 'Execution Dock', Wapping, in London. During the execution, the hangman's rope broke and Kidd was hanged on the second attempt. His body was gibbeted — left to hang in an iron cage over the River Thames, London — as a warning to future would-be pirates for twenty years.

Oh. And as determined from the Isle of Wight ride this year - I do possess the most naturally Pirate-y name on the forum.

Pirate-y.

william bligh leaved near the imperial war museum. though that's more mutiny than piracy.
or even confectionary if you want to make a weak pun.

I suppose it is bad taste to kidnap a couple of British holiday makers and go to the nearest Somali restaurant?

somali pirates are actually benefiting fish stocks in the area of piracy. they're scaring off massive trawler fleets.
so yay for pirates.
but boo for them kidnapping peoples.

let's kidnap some somali peolple and go to a fish restaurant and demand a prisoner exchange. if we don't hear anything by 7pm we start chopping bits off....aarrgghhhhh!!! or alternatively just cycle around
