We need to start planing the ride up to the Weekender :woot:

The MOB will meet us at Clacket services, they will be there for 10.30am, we are then going to take a route M25 to jnc 16 Gerrards cross and then on A413 to Aylesbury. JP has told us there is a good pub just before Aylesbury which may be a good place to stop and jp could meet us there (JP can you find name of pub please) ? we will then pick a route via A roads for the rest of the journey.

Please add name to list if you are going to meet at Clackets and join the ride up, It may be a good idea to split the group if it gets to big ???

The pub is called, The FIRECREST
London Road,
Wendover,
HP22 6QG
http://www.vintageinn.co.uk/thefirecrestwendover/

Good place to stop, plenty of space, outside too if the weathers good. I aim to leave work around 12.00 so if you stop there for lunch, I'll catch you up and can take you on from there.

And I forgot to say, not too far before the Firecrest pub for tomorrow afternoon, there should be a shell petrol station if you need to fill up. My route is 71 miles from the pub to Arrow mill

It's a beautiful morning, been walking round the mill taking pictures while I can.

Just relaying what the local news is saying in case people were wondering about waterproofs...

I have great waterproofs - it's called a car! However, whether Rog will let me come in the car is another matter - he'll probably hide the keys, knock me out, and stick me on the back of the beemer!

Dont the suppliers of land yachts make quality waterproofs.
You could take it in turns to skipper the yacht:spin: to the Mill

We wouldn't get far if I was skippering it - I can't even reach the ground! Mind you, that's not a problem if you're floating....
