I thought it was XVS because he started the thread did'nt he ?

But atm it looks like its up to you hall13uk . You know you want to !

If not anyone else offering to lead the way?

I would but i cant read maps .

yeah hall13uk looks like its you at the moment haha

if you can stop in Hastings it'd be good! Not sure where there's a petrol station there though, but I think there probably one on the outskirts either end...

doh!!

I don't even know the route , ok i will have to do a recckie run on the 19th i guess if have time. i will ride from boxhill to hastings on the saturday then, i know the way after hastings so thats ok. trouble is i am not the fastest rider, ( i have lost a lot of confidence after my off this year) so i may hold you lot up if i lead .


oh & jake RS yes i am sure we can stop at hastings for you, how about the car park by the sealife centre

James,

Simple route mate. A24 to the A272.
Then either

A272 to the A281, A281 into Brighton, then follow coast road through Eastbourne/Newhaven etc to Hastings, then A289 out through Rye to Camber

or

A272 to A264 then into Eastbourne then as above

Or

Boxhill - A25 - A21 to hastings then the A289 etc etc

There are a few routes, but those are simple

Sadly im away this weekend otherwise i would try to be there. If you need a hand let me know

Don't think I'm going to make it now, back playing up again. Might see if I can get to Hastings in the cage to say hello.

Dawn

thanks fella this was the orignal route http://www.urbanbiker.co.uk/rideouts/camber.htm

but it seems a bit tricky to follow, espically as i noticed a few of the turns are incorrect like right intead of left . it maybe a lot easier to use a simple route like those posted by viney

I know the roads quite well from Box Hill down to the coast. I could lead from Box Hill (A24) down to Horsham (A272) across to Uckfield (A22) down to Polegate. Someone can then pick up the A27 into Bexhill and Hastings.

If TJ and/or Nigel come, they may know the roads better (they ran the recent run up to Horam) and both have experience leading rides, so we could speak nicely to one of them.

I'll bring my big fluro jacket just in case!!

Ian

i dont know if i can make it and i wont know till friday.

the route is complicated, maby a easier 1 is needed

and i only carried the plans on while the trouble was happening

I'll look at plotting something along the same lines but similar when I get home this evening.

.

xvs2005 may not be able to attend so i am going to take the lead for now & help organise this rideout.
again


ok how about this route? I know it quite well so i don't have to do a reccie first, also it's a fair bit more striaght forward so less chance of people getting lost . it's also a very nice senic route too.
