Interim CC ride - Bikes & Boats Tendring (NE Essex)

[Auntie Helen]

Yes they have a gallery up there, although I think you have to pay to go and see it. You can visit the first two floors of the tower free, though, as they are seating for the café. There was some artwork on the walls there which I think you could buy.

 

[Auntie Helen]

Oh, and this is a photograph that Wowbagger took on today's ride - between Holland on Sea and Clacton. Just to encourage you all!

on saturday along this path the land train runs every half hour from the pier towards Holland on sea

 

[Auntie Helen]

50 points if you take out the land train!!!

When I was drawing the path on bikehike and had satellite view I could see the train pootling along.

Long-range weather forecast looks sunny for Saturday

Yep, that's us surely?

 

[Auntie Helen]

Yep, that's us surely?

But we're going in the other direction

 

[ChrisKH]

But we're going in the other direction

We have trainee Mouseketeers on board. We could be going anywhere.

Hells Bells
You can add William and Jo to the list as they will be tagging along with me if that's ok?

 

[Auntie Helen]

Of course, it will be good to see them

I'm afraid I'm a no show for this one.

Have fun boys and girls

 

[CopperBrompton]

This does look good. I shall do my best to crawl out of bed early enough.

trains from Liverpool Street to Manningtree at 8.30, 8.38 and 9.00. Brought the subject up last night and not entirely kicked in to touch.

 

[ianrauk]

Will be catching the 9am train from LS... (along with Will & Jo).
So anyone else who want's to join us.. look out for the CC jersey..

 

[Auntie Helen]

Any of you lot swimming?

PippaG says she's bringing her bikini, and Wowbagger will swim of course.

Uncle James and I will bring a selection of old towels so that you don't have to worry about that side of things. The advantages of trikes - you can load 'em up with junk and it doesn't unbalance you. It may make us marginally slower up hills, though, so you get a chance for two cups of tea at the top, rather than one!

 

[Auntie Helen]

Ben, Dell & MrsDellBabe, I do hope you can all make it.

Ian, Wot No Manningtree Station Breakfast???? Surely you need the 8am train man, to give you some hearty victuals before tackling Mistley Hill (about 100ft of climb over a couple of miles!!!)
