Elephentine Otford

Hmm. If no firm offers by around 12 I may go and try source something. A few rides back I nearly came cropper with my current set-up and a lead through the front spokes scare so have been considering an upgrade...
Do we think one of these would get me round?

I can bring one of these if it helps...?

Not super-bright but should be fine in a group?

That would be smashing. Thanks in advance!

Ok Victoria is fine - faster train etc

see you all after 7 - any particular meeting point?

Actually, I've just managed a bodge. The stationary cupboard had some massive elastic bands and with some jiggerypokery I've succeeded in mounting light to bars.

Thanks for the offer though. See you tonight.

Can anyone remember if we can get groupsaves from the machines at Vic? If so we should meet in the smaller concourse near to platforms 3 to 7

Victoria Train:
1) middleofnowhere
2) Scrabble
3) mikey5000
4)

Blackfriars Train
1) cgg
2)

A quick google suggests ticket office only for a groupsave for Southern/Southeastern stations.

I will likely be arriving close to departure so if someone could grab me one that would be great.

Ok. so we'll meet near the ticket office then. I have been the victim of an unexpected boozy lunch so I am hereby abdicating all responsibility for everything.

OK I'll be at Victoria for 19:00

Bit lost with what's going on with the list here but I'm gonna catch the train out. Also have a spare light which I wouldn't really want to be using on the front of the pack but @Scrabble you're welcome to use if your bodge fails...

Add two to the Victoria mob, Marlene and I will be there around 7. What's the meeting point if we have to get tickets from the ticket office?

Starting to get a bit crowded in there.

What's the meeting point if we have to get tickets from the ticket office?

The ticket office.

With this many on the train we will have to be through the gate as soon as the platform is announced.

I guess if @Mikey5000 is up for it there are enough people to make a groupsave possible from Blackfriars too.

I can do Blackfriars if that's better.

See you at Blackfriars Clement?

Yep!

I'm just at the ticket office, should I sort tickets out?

Running really late, have the route, don't wait for me :((((

Would be good. Be there soon.

OK so 4 tickets to Otford with group discount?

Yes. Blackfriars crew is en route.

Victoria crew on our way.

Top work everybody!!!!! I am tired. If you can work out what the hell I did differently to the rest of you then you are clearly a strava jedi https://www.strava.com/activities/1150514934/shareable_images/map_based?hl=en-US&v=1503615032

You took the wrong turn about 5 seconds before we realised you'd gone - then kept riding whilst we briefly discussed what to do and emerged half a mile ahead of the chasing pack whilst I went back to look for you. That car behind us meant I hadn't been able to see your light for the whole descent - and I heard you shout something so naturally assumed I was going to have to inform your wife that I'd left you to die in bush and be eaten by badgers if I didn't locate you.

We must have only been about 20 yards apart when everyone started riding in three different directions!
