when and where are we meeting?

Good question. You will be pleased to know that this information is not classified.

We meet at Look Mum No Friends at 8.15am for a prompt 8.30am departure.

Sorry, I know this is quite early, but we need to be done at the Heritage Centre by 4pm as it closes then.

If it makes anyone feel better, we met at 5.15am for the M25 ride. So 8.15am is so much better. 3 hours better to be precise.

Also, look, here's a leaflet about the heritage centre. Looks great, doesn't it?

That's a bit Norman Bates isn't it?

Bit of extra reading on Foulness to excite you... http://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/4283227.foulness__wide_open_spaces_of_beauty_and_decay/

Cameras should be fine, there are a few provisos which I'll outline on the day but it's worth bringing one, yes.

I can't guarantee that ;)

One more quick Q.... What type of Riding is it? Road, roughstuff?

Road. There is the possibility of some rough stuff, but it's looking increasingly unlikely.

No silly puncture prone road tyres would be appreciated either way. Sensible shoes.

stedlocks

Sounds good to me....I will take the 'crosser then and wear the touring tyres for ultimate toughness.
And Dr Sludges..........they work.

Hi all
I'm out. I'm knackered.

Sorry it's so late to bow out. Hope someone will take slot 12 sharpish. Have fun!

^^ Skully you know it's Sunday right? That's two whole sleeps!

Rod_Munch

Hmmm, you may be right. It does sound like he may have the dates mixed up.

I'm happy to step back out if that's the case...

Nice to know Shoebury is noted for Neanderthals:

http://www.southshoebury.org/shoebury.html

Shoebury is intimately connected with Foulness through Shoebury Garrison,which was in the process of transformation into Trovit homes when I was there two years ago.

Had a stroll around the conversions at the garrison recently. Think it might wake Shoebury up a bit but sad to see little in the way of work opportunities being created. Workshops, retail, studios all could help that quiet place given half a chance.

I had got my days mixed up (thanks for PM fox), but I will stay out of the ride. Yates is still off the road, and will be at the party of a certain forum wedding tonight so doubt I'd be on any state in the morning.

And another ride I failed to attend... gawd.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
