Southwold - pre Xmas fish & chips

[maviczap]

Ok its about time some dates were sorted out

I'm going to limit it to Sundays with the exception of Saturday the 22nd, as maybe most folk might have finished work for Christmas by then?

Unless you tell me different, but Sundays seemed to have worked out well for everyone before?

Aiming for a midday meet at the cafe

[NTECUK]

You going to start from grouped locations

[Thunderace]

Which cafe? (forgive my ignorance):smt040

[maviczap]

You going to start from grouped locations

Some of us met up on the A12 on the first layby after you've left the A14, at 7 Hills, Nacton.

There was only 3 of us :-D

Which cafe? (forgive my ignorance):smt040

Sorry newbie, it has been asked before, the one on the pier

[NTECUK]

hear?

[maviczap]

Yes, although that's the Crematorium

Here's my version

[NTECUK]

I thought Id put it in the "Dead Center" ;)

[maviczap]

Directions start from the Layby

If we meet here, then expect SuzukiGT380Paul to be hiding behind an HGV :p

It might be easier to meet at the Shell petrol station which I've just added to the directions, just on the Woodbridge bypass, all of us locals know it & its a good landmark just after the roundabout

[bathwiggle]

I'll say possibly any of those dates at the moment, depending on family/bf/working bike oh but i definitely can't do the 2nd. And i will get lost.

[NTECUK]

You know were the Mc D Tesco is . I'll meet you there .

[bathwiggle]

You know were the Mc D Tesco is . I'll meet you there .
ummm.... only mc d's i ca think of is boreham or leisure world... am i being special? :p

[mish53]

Any of those dates will work for me , happy to go with the flow .
Layby meeting spot is ok but a bit exposed if the weather is inclement, at least there is a little cover at the shell garage if its wetting down .

Remember to stick to the speed limits at all times ...I have to go to a bastitch speed awareness course in early december .

Yes, it is, although the locals won't be waiting long, but the grockles might be :D

[mish53]

More fun roads on the way back ? Snape, Tunstall, Rendlesham .. twisties and a bit of forest ..

[svrich]

Bring a pocket full of 2p coins for the amusements :)
If there's anyone that would come through my way we can take the long route round to Southwold. And we can leave a beer for Reeder on the way home.

I'm in, taking a small detour to Lowestoft way wont be a bother at all, plus I ought to pay my respects whilst over that way! Wish the good man a happy xmas, maybe a small sherry will be more appropriate :)

I'm putting most days down but would prefer the 22nd just on the off chance work needs me to travel late Sunday afternoon...

[NTECUK]

ummm.... only mc d's i ca think of is boreham or leisure world... am i being special? :p

A bit was thinking of the ipswich one.
You call it were get messy to go too ;)

[kellyjo]

Cant do any of them, so ill let you share my chips :p

[Messie]

I like the sound of this. Can't commit to dates just yet, but if I'm free and the weather is in double figure, I'll be there.

[NTECUK]

As long as its over 5*C your be fine .
I'll lend you a jumper lol.

[bathwiggle]

You lend her a jumper and i'll nick F4ll3n's heated vest and we'll all share kelly jo's chips?

[NTECUK]

Ok

Your not Billericay no more..

[bathwiggle]

I'll probably head to billericay on the saturday, then head up from there

[NTECUK]

ok meet you at the old 8 ball.

[Thunderace]

Well the Army really are trying to screw me over!:smt076 I'll probably still be in Aldershot until after Christmas now.:(:shock::( But I will be on leave so may hack it up there to show my face and say hello!;)

[Kenzie]

Wife and i are up for it if non sv owners are welcome?

[maviczap]

Wife and i are up for it if non sv owners are welcome?

All welcome

[NTECUK]

Wife and i are up for it if non sv owners are welcome?

Knowing the org SV's will be in the minority...

[maviczap]

Well, if svrich, kenzie & myself make it, then there will be at least 3 sv's. That'll be quite a high percentage!

[bathwiggle]

Martin that sounds good. We just need a date now!

The rest of you, might be on the honda, might be on the sv, depends which is working.

[maviczap]

We need a couple more to register their choice, but I can make both the leading dates at the mo.

[paddy t]

sounds good ....you thought of doing the stowmarket to yoxford road , up to southwold , went up that way a couple of weeks ago , for a play ..?

[maviczap]

That could be an alternative route, rather than the direct way. Pends on the weather?

[suzukigt380paul]

not fussed what date it held,as long as the cafe is open

[paddy t]

trust me , its a cracking road..plenty of bends,straights , and the surface isn t too bad ...:)...( its the A1120 , sorry , can t do maps ..... i m technophobic ...lol )

[Skip]

Sorry chaps I will have to decline this year - no MOT and no chance of getting it sorted at the moment. Have fun though :)

[svrich]

We could always come to yours?!

[maviczap]

Great idea

[Thunderace]

Sounds good I can find Wymondham!;)

[NTECUK]

D Days approaching guys!!
When we going?

[svrich]

Spring?

[maviczap]

Well the poll results show a clear preference for Sunday 9th December

So that's the date we'll go for.

Lets say 12:30 meet at Southwold Pier

We'll make the other arrangements to meet up further on this thread

If the weather is poo on that date, we'll go with the next most popular date the 23rd

OK?

[NTECUK]

Ok :)

[kaivalagi]

Should be do-able :)

[bathwiggle]

Sunday 9 Dec 2012 to Sunday 23 Dec 2012
As is usual, there are uncertainties in the forecast for this period. However, there are signs that northerly winds may be quite frequent across the UK. So, on balance, colder than average conditions are likely to continue, with a risk of frost and fog, and an increased risk of some snow.

[maviczap]

We'll be in the middle of a heatwave, mark my words :p

Its 2 weeks away let's not start worrying about the weather, if its a bit iffy we'll go the direct way up the A12,.

Last year was cold and wet

But they sell a nice hot chocolate in the cafe:D

[NTECUK]

Wet and cold we can cope with

[svrich]

Seperates the men from the boys :)

[Kenzie]

So where are we Ipswich lot going to meet? Woodbridge Shell garage?

[maviczap]

If the weather is a bit iffy then i'd say meet there, if its nice and dry and fancy a cross country run, then how about Tesco Copdock petrol station where we can meet the Essex lot?

[Kenzie]

temps are dropping quickly.cold I can deal with but not if it's wet as well.everyone still up for this?

[maviczap]

Of course, look at today, its a great day for a ride

[NTECUK]

We just need a decent day . A spot on start time and finish .(gets dark quick).
Keep an eye on the thread positive thoughts too .

[maviczap]

Just holding back on that for the moment, see what the weather is going to be like, as to where we meet.

If its a nice day (like today) Tesco Copdock Petrol station for a cross country ride there

If its not so nice and a direct route is required then Woodbridge Shell petrol station

Still 2 weeks to go

[bathwiggle]

We've got ages to go, so don't worry about it yet :D

[maviczap]

That's what I keep tellin them, it almost as if KellyJo was on the ride out, she would be all doom and gloom about the weather weeks in advance :rolleyes:

[bathwiggle]

So long as we can see the roads it's fine. If they look like rivers we might have an issue. They do realise where we live right?? :p

[Kenzie]

They do realise where we live right?? :p

Down sarf with the oompa loompas ain't it?

[Kenzie]

Forecast is in for the 9th. Partly sun/cloud with max 7c. Obviously pending change.

[maviczap]

Well that's reasonable, warmer than today!

[NTECUK]

The Saxon are coming .
Lock up your daughters!!!

[NTECUK]

Well that's reasonable, warmer than today!

Yes had to get the Dr icer out this morning

Yes, its true we did **** off somewhere else when we saw you coming :p

[bathwiggle]

So long as it's warmer than today, took me a while to warm up at work, although that might be as we had no heating

[NTECUK]

Be tropical on the day honest .

[Dicky Ticker]

Somebody might be telling fibs :rolleyes:

[paddy t]

[NTECUK]

You can get then gel things you boil up . Then click and they go solid as they release heat .

Sodium Acetate heat catalyst pouches

[Kenzie]

If the weather holds like today then it should be a good run.

[maviczap]

Yep, a bit cold, but nice

[svrich]

There was a lot of ice on the roads over here though. Some stayed all day.
I think I'll be taking the Landy tomorrow.

[bathwiggle]

My bike had de-frosted by lunch. And i think im going to have to go on the sv, honda are taking my bike back to try and impress me with their customer service..
