Sandcastles and Ice cream

[Albie]

If I can help I will gather the peeps to take them down to the seaside for sandcastles next Saturday.
Not knowing who or how many and where from , I am presuming most from london bound so may we meet either M20 ish or M2 ish and head down to thanet either A2 or A20 the long way around.

Im guessing around 10 ish.

Any comments or ideas please say :D

Albie and Caroline

Say where we should meet, Oakdene? and a time. I will endeavour to arrive on time.:cool:
Elenor is wanting to come at the mention of ice-cream and mini doughnuts.
(Who mentioned mini doughnuts though?).:p

See you Saturday in the sunshine.:thumbsup:

[NEAN&chris]

which seaside ?

It's the annual Kent run to Broadstairs - South East coast. Bit of a hike from Staffordshire TBH... more of an over nighter in fact? Anyway I've edited Albie's original thread title to avoid any confusion.

Cheers for kicking it off BTW Albie ;)

Hoping to join you if the monster's back on the road and it's not being nasty weather! If not you'll have to forgive for being on something else! What time are you hoping to be in Braodstairs?

[scrapps]

I would be happy to lead peeps thru the kent country side and down to broadstairs,prob best if i meet you on the A20 at charing and then find some nice roads. maybe join coast near Faversham, along thru Whitstable, Herne bay, a short hop on thanet way and thru Margate and along coast to Broadstairs. stopping along the way for a break and drinks ect. just an idea or happy to go with the flow..:D

[J.P]

Shame, sounds good but I can't make it as I'm in Tokyo, Japan from Wednesday till Saturday.

Hope the weather holds for you and plenty of ice cream & Kiss me quick hats.

[benson]

Hey Scrapps - that sounds like a good idea - thing is I'm on leave on Friday and hoping to be away overnight so I'm not exactly sure where I'll be! (not the most helpful state to be in but hey - if the weather's been good I could be anywhere!!!)

For me I think it would be best to meet in Braodstairs but hope others take you up on the kind offer of a happy bimble!!!

See you by the sea all being well (i.e. NO MORE RAIN!!!)

[scrapps]

Hi benson, i hope to be in broadstairs for lunch 12:30/1:00 :thumbsup:

[benson]

Right then - I'll be there too all being well - I'll listen out for the noise of furious sand castling!!!!:on:

[Stu Pid]

Hey Im up for that, assuming that it isnt pissing down that is. Let me know where you intend on meeting etc.., I'm easy.

[scrapps]

Hi if someone wants to lead from cafe and meet me at bottom of charing hill (A20) I was thinking we could trot down to coast pop to whitstable harbour for seafood or drinks then along coast (and bit of thanet way) thru margate and along to broadstairs for fish chip and a large ice cream. (not forgeting you bucket and spade..)

[Albie]

I hope we can go but I will have to see. It may be a case of just meeting you peeps there sometime.

[benson]

Depending on the Friday night I have planned, or not given the latest wind and rain, I could easily meet in Whitstable??? The word seafood has had a profound effect and has made me want to eat my body wieght in the shelled doodahs I love so much!!!!! What time do you reckon you'll all be in Whitstable then and I could try and catch you there!

Yeah I had a great day too, apart from being blown sideways all the way back on the m way, sorry if I slowed anyone up.

I know that ol' "Ill get my credit card out" trick, you women, you're all the same (just kidding) was great to meet you all.

The bike is outa here!!!

[scrapps]

I was great to see you all down my neck of the woods,hope you had a good time. (sorry to hear your bike is still giving you trouble stu ):Furious: :Furious: shame the traffic was a pain on way down to broadstairs(poxy bus ):thumbsdown: glad it stayed dry, see you soon

[Gadget]

Nice to meet you Stu. Patinthehat was there also, but just enough time for the ride. Benson arrived after and met us by the harbour wall. Lovely F&C then icecreams.:yoparty:

Lovely weather for watching the sea and taking in the Kent coastline though a bit blustery for riding on the motorway.

No sandcastles this year as the tide was high and the water was breaking over the harbour wall by the time we where leaving. Another time.

[patinthehat]

Sorry I couldn't stay longer chaps but thanks for the rideout - which was very enjoyable despite the bus!

Hopefully I will be able to stay out and play a bit longer next time.

That ice cream does look good...

[benson]

Oh it was - very very good - I like your username!!! What colour is your hat then?

[patinthehat]

I have a variety of hats in many colours... all of which make me look a prat:)

To be honest I just thought up the name as I had been reading Dr. Seuss with my kids round about the time I joined.

Sorry I didn't get to meet you today - maybe next time...

[benson]

I thought it was a Dr Seuss thing - hurrah!!! Meet you soon no doubt, especially if there's more fish and chips and ice cream!!!

[scrumpster]

I live on the wrong coastline obviously :thumbsdown:

[benson]

We should have a south coast excursion next then!!!

[scrumpster]

I totally agree and concur, I'd even throw in a BBQ and B & B I have the capacity to squash several bodies in and if I clear out the garage a few more bikes would fit in - god, what am I saying!!! :scratch: Could pitch the tent too, blimey :yoparty: That would pi** my neighbours off :devil:

:ukm: PARTY :woot:


at Scrumpsters house.


I'll come :spin:

[scrumpster]

Might have to sort out a date then!! Probably after the mini weekender and i'll cook under an umbrella!!! And maybe my garden will be half finished by then :bunny:

[benson]

Yay!!!! Soundsl ike a plan! I'd say we'll have run out of summer by then but as we haven't had a summer would we even notice??? Meanwhile if Brands BSB is on your list mate you can come and stay with me for the weekend!!!

[scrumpster]

It certainly is with the possibility of an end of season party to boot, will suss this out at weekend. Would mean stopping at Brands on the Sunday night as copious amounts may be drunk!!! :yoparty:

[benson]

I do believe it would - and then we could both be terribly ill and unable to attend work the next day!!!:shocked:

[scrumpster]

I plan to take the next day off such is my foresight :devil:

[benson]

Sadly that's not on the cards for me, but if you need a place to crash just let me know!

[GULLY]

Hi Guys, thanks for a great Saturday. Good to see you all. Sorry I have not posted earlier but have just got computer fixed by the God, GaryN.

Cheers
