The Great Cyclechat Jersey Relay - Discussion

[Amanda P]

Houston, we have a problem.

The first of the southern legs was me, picking up a jersey wearing a jersey in Jersey, from mcd over the Easter weekend. For obvious reasons our holiday to Jersey has been cancelled (we were going to the Youth Hostel) So we need some quick re-arranging, or it'll be stranded on Jersey for ever more! Is anyone else going to Jersey in the near future, to a place that has not turned into a grisly crime scene

I believe you're allowed to camp with a tent on Jersey. And the climate's very nice.

Or what about switching to another Channel Island and hopping to Jersey for the jersey for the day?

I once spent seven weeks in Jersey on a crammer course between end of March and early May. It was cold, I can tell you, until late April.

 

[Tynan]

hmm

send one to me in E4

and you'll never see it again

 

[Arch]

Ah, good to see the plans are falling apart already

How about, McD takes the jersey on a lap of the island, takes some pictures of it, buys it tea and so on, then posts it to Maggot? Or, if we have anyone in Cornwall or somewhere southerly like that. Or the Doc, for his trip to France. It can't be helped, plans being mucked up by a decades old murder case.... I mean, it's a shame if folk can't actually meet, but we just have to make the best of it.

Well jersey number 1 is now sitting in the out-basket at Hessle post office and should be with MCD, in Jersey, sometime over the next couple of days (splashed out an extra 34p and sent it first class - I assume that means a boat with two rowers instead of one!? )

I'm busy with work and family commitments for the next couple of weeks so it'll be sometime in late March before I can get jersey number 2 going, but I'll let you all know when it starts and where it's going to.

Do we need an official jersey tracking / hand-over thread now?

Cheers,
Shaun

What they get oars .When i was a postie...........

 

[mcd]

Ah well, there goes Plan A. Maggot, that's a shame about your holiday - another time.

As long as the jersey gets to him around Easter, then the whole thing is back on track.

After doing a lap of the island & buying it tea, I could stick the jersey in the post, but it would be better to hand it over. In a week's time I'm passing through Gatwick & Geneva on the way to Chamonix .I'm not going to be in Gatwick for very long, so if someone was to meet me there, they might have to hang around for a bit. Hanging around at Gatwick airport isn't something I'd wish on anyone. So the alternative is for me to hand it to Will in Geneva next Wed evening / Thurs morning.

How about it Will?

Is there anyone further south bringing it to the guildford area?

Perhaps once the first handover/photos are complete? Like a sort of starting gun for a very slow race....

 

[jashburnham]

Well I'm in Central London but could certainly bring the shirt into Surrey, perhaps Epsom or Box hill, somewhere like that?

Maybe there's a 'gang' who could do Windsor Great, Richmond, Regents and Hyde Park for example?

Then, North of Watford...who cares?

(Only joking NorthofWatforders before you all kick off)

do you want me to put you on the map jacomus?
it's not a prerequisite for participation though so up to you if you want to be on it

Well I'm east of Watford, so I don't mind.

 

[Elmer Fudd]

I'm now in possession of two freebie XL Friedly jerseys for the relay.

I'm starting one of them from Hull (hope that's okay with everyone?) and I'm sending the other to MCD in Jersey (as per postings around 7th Feb.) for him to hand-over to User76 around Easter time.

I'm afraid I simply haven't had time to keep up with the entire thread so if the plans have changed, please let me know by PM.

Cheers,
Shaun

I was going to ask what is the significance in one of the jerseys starting in Hull

Sorrrry Shaun !!

I understand the brief is that it goes to Hell, Hull & Halifax. So that's one out of the way.
