For those not on bikes!!!

[gruntygiggles]

Hey guys and gals,

As I did for AR08, I'll be coming in the cage with the dogs (possibly with Stretchies bike on a trailer) so I will not be on the rideout.

Just been chatting to Samnooshka on another thread and though she is not coming to the AR, we're talking about finding a park in the area where we can meet and have a few hours of fun with the dogs.

If there's anyone else coming with dogs or if you're coming with children and fancy a nice day out on the Saturday, let me know here and I'll see what can be sorted out.

All dogs are child friendly (one of mine is a little nervous, but only for five mins, then he's a soft cuddlebucket)

SO........please no comments about not coming if you're not riding.....some of us like to join in even though we can't ride

I'm not sure about parks local to the area but I can easily find out.

However if you and your dogs are interested in long walks there's a lovely coastal path around Maldon and the Heybridge Basin.

There is also a possible small plan in the offing for children but not yet cast in stone but can easily be morphed into the dog plan.

I like your thinking gruntygiggles - it should be fun for everyone coming, riding or not.

There is the boating place near I think, how friendly that will be for dogs I'm not sure. I'm gonna be there during the day as I'm going by train and pushbike. I'll be looking for some entertainment during the day (your dogs need not worry though , it's Stretchie I want.)

Have found out that Maldon carnival is a bit poopants, so maybe not a good source of saturday fun for those not riding.
there is, however, a large open park in Burnham on Crouch, which has a sort of adult assault course on it. Could be fun!
