Hi guys

Further to the meet up in Sherwood forest on the 28th April. It has been mentioned about a meet up in the south of england. I was looking at sometime around late May early June. If anyone is interested or has suggestions on venue or time. please feel free to reply

Regards

Hiya
We would be up for coming along. I guess you need to get a feel for potential distan ces for people before settling on a location, although "all roads lead to London" in a sense!
Cheers
Flossie

Or perhaps somewhere half way between, say London and Birmingham???

How about brighton (may be busy on weekend), robin (gadget family suggested meet up by beach) or maybe camber sands. Camber sands would be great for sandy beach, good for beach games. dymchurch not to far away for pub/lunch

Steve

Camber sands Also would be good for camping

steved61

If coast is to far maybe windsor. Good castle lovely town right by the river

Flossie and Jim

Last memory I have of Camber Sands was downing a bottle of martini and falling asleep on the beach and then waking up with a stonking hangover with sand EVERYWHERE - Ugh!!!
(But it was quite a while ago!!!)

Lol but we are all responsible adults now, and martini is so 80's

Flossie and Jim

Ssssh! Now you are giving away my age!!!

Ok, serious time now, here are a few suggestions to throw into the mix, depending on the locations of the majority who want to go:

- Central London: One of the big London Parks e.g. Hyde Park, Green Park, Greenwich Park.

- West of London: Henley on Thames (there is a nice green park area next to the river and rowing museum, with parking that is ideal for a picnic and stroll along the river).

- North of London: Somewhere in the Milton keynes-Cambridge Corridor.

- Between Birmingham & London: Somewhere in the Oxford area.

- Between the South West and South East: New Forest area (thinking of the campers), or perhaps Poole Park, or Bournemouth Beach (although these are a little on the periphery perhaps?)

Good suggestions flossie i would rather stay out of central london, oxford not bad, but besides carl most of the people expressing interest are south of london, henley upon thames is very nice, New forest/bournemouth once again very nice but unless we start getting people from devon etc i would rather stay in south/south east.

Ok, would everyone be OK with brighton on the Sat 2nd June. Plenty of bars/restaurants, Lanes for shopping, nice beach, good camping and fairly central for all responders except Carl (sorry carl)

That would be fine for us, and we could come on the Trike. Where is the 'good camping'?

Could have used MIL's hip replacement as an excuse to come to that one - but am in Canada

My brother (English but living in rural Ontario), my partner (American but living near Toronto) and I (too shy to say) will be in a pub in or near Bexhill on the evening of May 8th and probably May 11th and 12th. Will tell all we know in exchange for booze!

Robin (The Gadget family)

Oh pooh, gutted to say that I will be enjoying/suffering my 10 days of the hospitality of the police convalescent home following my leg injury, from 8th, so won't be around for either dates!

Thanks for thinking of us all, I would have been there otherwise, 'specially as I now read your blog.
