A regular on the Friday Night Ride to the Coast - something that starts from Central London and goes, well, to the 'Coast'...somewhere. For our last outing, she compiled a super video, which the majority of you might not see, as it is embedded in the 'FNRttC' Whitstable thread in 'Community / Informal Rides etc..'

Here's the link to the video

I think I remember a poster called Charlotte from ACF, although I didn't lurk there very much.

Wow! Thanks so much for that link. What a great video, I'm inspired, I'm going to try to organise something like this with the road section of my MTB club.

What sort of camera was it done with - the quality seemed very good. Thanks for the link as I hadn't seen it.

It hasn't convinced me to join them...they look tired, but I leaves me wishing that I wanted to.

I wonder if she will take her camera to WNBR (later today I believe) and video that. Hope so !

Oh all right then, the details lie from about post #290 onwards...the 'aftermath' (although the whole of these various episodes are fun, from announcement to enrolment;gathering, doing and returning. Reporting - if that's what it can be called - is the icing on the cake, as provided by various sultanas in the mixture...

Nice video Charlotte. Now I wish I could have gone.

 

[Headgardener]

That looked like fun. Will there be one next year?

I thing the "English term" is eccentrics... an ancient tradition of these isles.

yes, but there are several more this year too next one is to Brighton, then Bognor, then my memory fails me but Southend and Whitstable redux are on the list
