Well, if the Hull posse are aiming to get there for 11.30, and we want to join them, we need to leave at about 10am, if people can manage that? Anyone else coming to York? I know I originally said 10.15/10.30ish, but if Pock is busy, then getting there earlier might be good.
Went to recce Heworth Stray, which I think is actually called Monk Stray, and check the route through from the Hull Road, seems easy enough. I'll go back home that way too, to make sure.

Oh and the forecasts I've seen suggest the wind sort of behind us for our sprint stage
, so here's hoping.

As ever, if anyone wants tea afterwards, chez Arch will be open, and about a 5-10 minute ride from the stray. Current record number of guests is about 5 or 6 I think... Alternatively, there are numerous pubs of course.

That is Heworth Stray, but we Yorkies normally meet at the West End of the Minster (the wind tunnel bit where Duncombe Place meets the two halves of Petergate.).
Anyone else?

Clifton CC has a group heading out from Exibition square in York at 10AM tomoz, apparently to a good spot to watch the TdB go past, I think it'll be quite a large group too. I for one, am excited.
Is cav doing the TdB?

I'm not going to be able to make it tomorrow. Gutted.
My knee and back just haven't recovered enough so I'm going to the football with some friends who are only over for a week anyway.
Have a great day everyone!

So, just me and Galaxy1 heading for Pocklington via the scenic route?
Shall we arrange a rendezvous point in Pock, or just trust to finding each other? I do have Helen's phone number if all else fails.
Once I'm offline this afternoon (about 6ish), any arrangements/changes will have to be texted to me...

My fave cafe is Hieke's Imbiss, it's at the top of the main shopping street (Market Place), in the fork of the road with Union Street
http://www.pocklington.gov.uk/wendys-tearoom.htm
If it's too busy (it's quite small, but they have tables outside on a nice day), there's a coffee place very nearby (on Union Street, visible from Heike's) where I've had a coffee before (well, hot chocolate actually).
I've also heard good things about the cafe/deli on the corner of Market Place and Regent street, although I've not been there, apparently there is quite a bit of room upstairs.
Perhaps whichever party gets there first should find and bag a place, and then let the other know...

Right, I'm off.
Hoping Galaxy1 checks in and isn't waiting for me at Monk Stray tomorrow while I'm at the west end of the Minster...
See everyone in Pocklington! I'l try and bring some almond slices, but they are a bit crispier than they should be and I'm concerned they might disintegrate during the journey.
