Based near Witham, Essex but am picking the bike up from near Hampton Court. Anyone who knows what they're looking at and fancies tagging along are more than welcome :thumbup:

Anyone else around this neck of the woods? Many rideouts sorted?

I'm from Colchester - and even closer to you is Bazza who makes & supplies manual CCTs.

What day are you going?
