Just head in the general direction & then follow the smell of bacon sandwiches & general B/S i.e. someone saying blue is fastest... :lol:

It's fairly easy to find, just head towards Colchester and there's only a couple of important turns to make.

You can always ring me if you get lost :)

Oh yeah! Luckily there's no trees obstructing the roads, but there's still plenty of oap's to dodge :thumbup:

Tsk the yoth of today & their bloody technocrapology...

So with sat nav working you get to where your going by following the given instructions.

Without it you cant even read a bloody road sign... :roll:

Box hill to Sarfend at some point you have to cross the Thames, to get to Gillingham you'd of had to ride past Dartford...& the Dartford Crossing...Through the tunnel turn right follow the wiff of cockles & winkles (& that's just the women not the seafood...) & you at Sarf-end-on-Sea.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy me old china.

:lol: :lol: Argh Mac you crack me up. I got to admit when I read Garmin broke, I thought what about a map. Or just follow road signs. If one has a sense of direction it's impossible to get lost or veer off course too far, We're only a little island.

I shall re-phrase it for you robbie :wink:
is anyone swinging by milton keynes way or any where within 20 odd miles, that i could possibly meet up with for company along the way. It would be good if we could organise pickup points along the way and have a group ride down.
:plainsmile

Nice to see some interest from newer members and it will be great to meet up and put faces to names. Can I ask that anyone that is coming along with intention of doing any work to their bike list what it is they intend on doing please.
