Sunday 20th Feb - Findon & Newlands

18-02-2005, 09:55 AM

Well, at least it's meant to be dry this weekend...

So how about we joing the DSC for a food fight at John Henry's cafe in Findon (from 10.30am), then go for a run up to Newlands Corner in Surrey to meet the Hampsters and any stray Surreyites for a cuppa?

I intend to be at Findon from 10.30, and aim to leave about midday, to be at Newlands for 1pm...

Hope to see you there!

Right, where are those S4 keys?

Jenny can you post a streetmap link for the cafe?

Where are people meeting first?

Might be up for this with Radar but he reckons there's snow forecast Sunday!

John Henry's is just behind Cissbury Leathers........

I suggest you break out your arctic riding gear if you are coming sunday

QGP (and Nigel C) - you might be right about the weather... but let's see (I have the XR too of course, ahem x)

Celeste - if you are coming down Worthing way, it will be a nice run, but if you just wanted to meet at Newlands with the Hampsters (and any Surreyites), I think there are still directions to Newlands Corner in a thread in Surrey Events...

Hope you can make it... DP snow chains anyone?!

As long as its dry thats ok.

Have found map for Newlands corner, having never been there where do people meet? Is it a carpark, pub or is it just a corner?

18-02-2005, 07:05 PM

Celeste..it is a car park..with a tea, coffee, burger,chips...oohh and toilets..
cant do the map thing but it is on the A25..about a mile after the A25 crosses the A246..(at the lights)...hopeless at directions as well...no wonder i always get lost

No worries Bob, I aim to be there for about 12.30-1 - keep your eye out for Blue monster and zippy rucksack

I'm hoping Radar can make it too but he has a bad ear at the moment, I may have an R6 in tow too, if she can keep up and doesn't get lost!

Sorry folks but the ear infection has won - and besides someone has to stay at home and do all the housework...

Have a great time.....

Well that was a very cold rideout but it was great to see everyone even if most of you did bugger off within 5 minutes of me arriving!

Did anyone notice when I pulled into the carpark whether my seat cowl was attached?

It wasn't until we pulled in for some petrol on the way home that I realised it had gone! I don't take my cowl off as I don't carry pillions so I can't see both screws coming loose at the same time?

I did notice a group of people hanging round my bike shortly after I arrived but didn't think anything of it, I think the feckers nicked it!

Poor old Felix looks naked without it? Any idea on how much a new one costs?

Oh and the heated gel pack I had with me can be found here
