Email has just gone out to those who have signed up for the ride. If you think you've signed up but not had the email, there is still time to go to the website and register.

Oh - and this video might be useful. (Assuming you had a deprived childhood, that is.)

Aaargh! forgot to say we'll be passing what is definitely (or definitely not) the only Ordnance Survey square in the Uk with nothing in it: SE 83463 22590
And I post this in the sure knowledge that @swansonj who is the expert in all this, will be along in a minute to put me right.

Hadn't received the e-mail, so have registered again.

 

[mmmmartin]

I've finally got around to registering .
Sorry about that; I booked the train tickets ages ago.
I'm pleased to report that at least one of the ChorltonCH Massive is joining me.

Almost... It has a length of high voltage cable just across the SW corner! (1:50,000 scale; I can also see drainage on the 1:25,000 map.)

D'you know what? I retired from National Grid earlier this year, so I no longer give a tinker's cuss whether the legs of the pylon in question lie within that grid square or not....

(but they do )

Yes. The centre of the pylon (which is what is marked on maps of that scale) lies outside the grid square, but two of the four legs (which only get marked on larger-scale maps) lie within it.

Though, as I have carefully explained, I really, truly, don't care any more.

I'm in, unless the forecast is for rain all night. I think I'll have my responsible adults again.

 

[mmmmartin]

weather forecast currently looking perfect: dry with 2 per cent chance of rain, 10 degrees and a strong wind from the west.
all this for two quid a year.
I'm nipping out to the shed now to make my Pooh Stick for the game.

 

[mmmmartin]

The result of my labours: in case someone forgets to bring their own weapon of choice.
(I'd like to point out that not every Fridays ride has the luxury of a game of Pooh Sticks. Oh no. Some do have ferries though.)

Leave yourselves plenty of time for the game.

It's not far under that little bridge, but the flow is far from fast.
