28th April 13 - the return of the Kent Cruise

[Bing]

Twickers, Oxford and Cambridge - 3 words that warm a Scotsman's heart :|



I am saying nothing further on this thread that could be construed as a promise, commitment or 'understanding' at some point in the future. We'll sort out the meet and then see where we're at chaps.

The noodles are VERY good :wink:

 

[Machine monkey]

Don't want too get involved in the noodle talk.

Only kidding on the place to sleep..... Yeah I get that probably not what your after. Could get you tickets to the Cardiff Blues as well?? Not Scottish but Celtic????

 

[Bing]

Hmmm. That could work as a road trip...

The Varsity match is great fun, but a bit like the Army Navy match - a massive pi$$-up for grown-ups only

As we're off topic, I passed up a (single) free ticket to the Calcutta Cup next weekend

Wee Bing and I have done both of the last two years, and I couldn't bring myself to go without him. I am such a pussy :roll:

 

[Machine monkey]

Sounds good pick me up on route.

Yeah it is grown ups only I guess. My uncle touch judged the army navy game. There where 11 streaker 1 was even a woman!!

I have not been to that or any other nations game for it seems a life time. Last time I went o the Calcutta cup was one of Jason Robinson's first games playing union for England. We stuffed you guys sorry

I used to play a lot school club county. Then stoped :| miss it some times.

Don't feel bad if you had gone. Wee Bing would have are you feel worse. Keep it a father on thing that's very good.

Morning ... not been on for a few days and thinking it would just be me, srhutch & jan_tekin with Bing meeting us at the end just for the Beer.

Gulp...

Bing, sounds like we need another curry to come up with a cunning plan & work out where all the petrol stations are...

Since initial interest implies a double figure turnout, please plan now to beg & borrow a TOMTOM or similar ... so we have as many as possible to Shepard any lost sheep.

Stop 1 - Battle (In big car park where there are toilets) Possible Jet Fuel break (coffee n cake/bacon sarnie)

- Option 2.1 - Binneden Vinyards, Gribble Bridge Ln Biddenden, Ashford, Kent TN27 8DF 01580 291726, http://www.biddendenvineyards.com/ (Smallish Car Park so we have to be friendly) This is just something different

Sounds good, I will arrange a UK visit to coincide with the 28th. I think I did a photo assignment at Biddenden Vinyards many years ago - seem to remember they had wallabies running between the vines - or did I just taste too much wine!
Scorp.

Great route Jembo,

What time did you finish, sorry I left you but seeing as it was near the end and I was passing home, it just made things easier.

 

[srhutch]

how many times did you stop for fuel oke:

 

[Bing]

Finished about 1315 Jan, no worries - nice to see you again

Didn't have to stop this time, but got home just as the Feed Me light came on...

If that was a full tank the ///M's may have to stop to fill up.
