Bank Holiday Monday (3rd). - SV650.org

rictus01 · 25-04-10, 09:45 AM

As I'm not a great fan of the procession ride from the Ace, I'll be doing my own thing, basic plan is to kick off after a bacon butty from the Oakdene (about 10-ish), relaxed ride down to Battle, then drop into Hasting for a bit to see the bikes ( not for llong mind), over to Rye, military rd, perhaps the marshes, then either A20 straight back to the Oakdene or a wiggly route time allowing.

Couple of nice spirited bits along the way, but mostly just a pleasent day out.

So whether I do it alone or others want to join me the option is there, don't say you weren't informed.....

Edit : Route

Map Link

L out of Oakdene follow A20 - L into Seven mile ln (B2016)

Across roundabout (A228 ) - L Maidstone rd (B2160)

*****

Cross A21 into Dundale rd (opposite) - L at T junction (inclined) towards Bells Yew Green

Cross B2169 Heading towards Frant A267

L onto the A267- follow until keep L onto A265 (at Heathfield)

R onto B 2096 (signposted to Battle) - L at A271 into Battle

Find a cuppa tea!!!

Kick off L (at roundabout) down the A2100 -

L again onto B2092 down to the coast road,
R into Hastings (this avoids the A21 bit)

*****L just before Matfield (Coppers Ln) towards Brenchley

R on to the (B2162) Horsmonden cross A21 - B2100 - L onto A267 *****

Timings:

If you want Breakfast then 10 am
to leave at 10.50 am (10 minutes buffer, but don't count on it)
there is a petrol station next to the cafe, so no excused for not having a full tank to start.

Cheers Mark.

Nice idea, but can we also meet Viney at the place he starts from as well?

Sally you can start anywhere you like love, He's not posted anything in the Selkent section and besides Oakdene does bacon butties and tea, I want breakfast.....

Now that's not a very helpfull reply Mark, now is it?

I just wondered whether, if you are at Oakdene at 10 ish, and Viney is a Locksbottom at 11 ish, we could in fact join up. I suppose I could just get a map out and have a look, but I was being lazy and hoped that people with more knowledge than I about the geographic locations of the above places, could say so quicker!

rictus01 · 25-04-10, 09:59 AM

About 3-4 miles away I'd guess, does that help

Messie · 25-04-10, 10:00 AM

Yes, thank you, it does.

Erm, Probably easier to meet at Locksbottom, then trundle off to the Oakdene. Its about a 30-40 min ride from Locks to Oak.

As i havent made it to Hastings for a couple of years, im looking to get down there and then have a walk around. So may meet up along the route.
