I know, I was born and brought up in Essex. Lived there for 26 years.

Seen enough of East Anglia to last me a lifetime I'm afraid. Honestly don't understand what people see in the South East since I moved North. Too busy, too miserable, too wallet-obsessed, and too bloody flat.

In the nicest possible way, of course

lol, although I may be getting excited at the prospect of another AR, Im Indoors is still adamant he ain't going. When he saw it was East Anglia (we presumed it would be a bit higher up) he said no, and when he comes home later and sees its in Essex..he'll put his foot down and sulk he wanted to see it up your neck of the woods Dan, so at this moment in time, I may be going on my own.
This is no way a poke at anybody involved, its just hes travelled to many a place on his bikes, all over the country and down south that a way is the least favourite place he would go.....I had to drag him to Somerset kicking and screaming

There are some beautiful picturesque villages in Essex (and surrounding counties) and some excellent roads to ride

Dunno I've already asked but not been given a straight answer.
I thought the AR was gunna be in the EA region not the Essex side of things.

Essex is in the EA region!

I think a fair few were under the assumption that it was going to be held further up and more central in the EA region.

[Mr Speirs]

What I meant was there was a post in the East Anglia bit of this forum saying it was being held there. But it's in Essex which has it's own forum region.

[dizzyblonde]

Yes. I had noticed that one too. TBH I didn't know Essex was part of EA, but then geography never was my strong point

Now finding a Place I've never been to on blonde directions....now that I'm good at
