* excludes cabaret and sundry refreshments.

But the rides are usually on a Friday!

Ah! Another recruit. Trains can be taken to Whitstable (I know you love choo-choos Speicher) to ahem - "enter into the spirit of things" for example. It might well be Sunday before a return is contemplated... One never knows.

 

[TheDoctor]

Hmmmm.
The idea of a weekend away starting with an overnight ride to Newhaven has a certain twisted appeal...

Best remove all those references to Gatwick in case this is being monitored

haven't got a replacement yet.........

Yeah, bearing in mind how many pints had been sunk last time you went to Whitstable.................

Here's something about Newhaven which is in another section:

Bearing in mind Mr Davywalnuts must be on first name terms with every kebab shop & van from here to the south coast, surely the answer would be to get him to sweet talk the owner of an establishment somewhere near Crawley/Horley to open up/stay open? Just a thought........

 

[dellzeqq]

there are options

If we're going to get 60 or more riders for the Genteel ride then it makes sense to hire the Scout Hut.

If we're not then I'll tour the local cafes and churches and sweet-talk somebody in to opening their doors for us.


The Newhaven ride and the November ride will be quite small, so we'll probably go to the Cabin Cafe.

I do have a route to Newhaven that's been improved since I went down there with ILB. And it's delightful.

this is very true , altho there was a distinct lack of hills

I've messed with the dates a little.
The 2010 pdf is ready. That's the good news. The bad news is that it's about 10.7 megabytes. Will this destroy inboxes?

Yes.

Check your pdf settings. I'm guessing the final document is probably of publishing quality. Is that really necessary? Unless you plan on printing them and handing them out I'd say no. And even if you were, I still probably say no. If the resulting pdf is optimised for screen viewing and is still huge then go back a few steps and decreas the resolution of the photos you're using.

Caveat: I am neither a publisher or IT geek, but have played a bit and know just enough to be dangerous.

 

[dellzeqq]

ah-ha

I've been printing at 600dpi, but 300dpi doesn't make a jot of difference. Auntie Helen is now on the case - she may have the vital tool that I lack (like a brain)

 

[Andrij]

A 5MB file is much more palatable.

 

[Origamist]

Thanks for the FNRttC guide. I'll hopefully be able to do a lot of the rides next year. Particularly looking forward to Newhaven/Dieppe and the longer Harwich ride.

 

[StuAff]

Nice PDF (again). The Harwich one sounds like fun (though it certainly won't be coming under the 'night-time pootling' category..!).
