Suffolksters go mad in Norfolk

03-07-2005, 06:20 PM

OK we've made a decision - mini weekender planned for the Bank Holiday weekend in August - planning to do outdoor karting on the Saturday just outside of Ipswich in the afternoon, ride up to North Norfolk early evening to find a watering hole/bucket and a place to stay, a days ride on Sunday - Holkham, Blakeney, Wells, Sherringham that sort of thing, lots of cream teas, chips and frivolity and then home via somewhere else on Monday!

Nonnie, PD, Emily's Driver (thouhg he doesn't know it yet) and me booked in so far - anyone else out there willing to chance their arm for a superduper time???

Happy monstering!

oi oi I never said I was willing to chance my arm!

03-07-2005, 06:27 PM

Sounds good to me ....will try and get a raiding party from the MMM :lol: :lol:

Are you planning on booking the accommodation in advance?...guess it will be necessary that weekend !

Paranoid Dave · 03-07-2005, 06:57 PM

i think it will have to be booked but as its only B&B's we aint gonna all fit in one place me thinks? So long as its the same town, most of these little coastal places have a dozen or more per road so at least we can all stick nearby, or within walking distance of the pub.

oh and benson, between a rock is good but maybe honouraray suffolkster would be more appropriate.

I once bought some phalic rock for my friend, honest I did, looked very odd watching her, well you can guess the rest. I think I got it in north norfolk too!

I do now Benson!! I really hope Im not working that weekend, new job kicks off on the 8th August but us aerial whiskers lead an odd timetable in life so I will try to pin my masters down and see if I can get that weekend off if I am otherwise meant to be flooging around the Norfolk skyline. There are times when I wish I was a plumber or summit else but I suppose if all else fails I can throw a sicky!! Looking forward to seeing you. BTW Thanks for taking care of my castaway today.

Hello again dear ones! Honourary Suffolkster I am then!!!

I will start hunting down those special little B&Bs this week! :lol:

See you all again soon - weather permitting - showers here this morning so the monster is resting undercover (having been polished and having had the works last night) and the trusty BMW can get wet! :twisted:

Glad to hear that home stretch is well underway Rod - will be good to see you again! If you're an aerial whisker what does that make Nonnie I wonder???

Have fun!
Benson

The cat that gets the cream I suspect!

Outdoor karting provisionally booked for 10.00am on 27th August (thanks Magic) then in the afternoon we can head up to unsuspecting north norfolk coast for a couple of days of fun.

Some of the coast is very pretty, classy, quiet and restrained, other bits are, how do you say.... kiss me quick! Should be an interesting time.

05-07-2005, 09:20 PM

Any news on the booking of the B&B yet ?

Paranoid Dave · 05-07-2005, 09:31 PM

i'm gonna start looking, dont feel i'm the organiser but i just want it to be good. I cant offer helicopters and big dinners etc

05-07-2005, 10:51 PM

Who wants big choppers anyway???

he he he

05-07-2005, 10:58 PM

Ok heres' the griff so far - there are quite a few B&Bs available and there are some that are small enough for us to take over (that is util they learn we all have super noisy bikes!)

Some have only the odd room available but I don't think that will matter really, we just need a place to lay our heads!

Cheers PD - I too will do some serious looking tomorrow night but the North Norflok tourist info site seems most usable...so booking somewhere shouldn't be a problem.

I am happy to find accommodation so your e mail addresses would be sueful for a group mailing once we've decided on the details!

Here's to our own personal rain clouds meanshile back on the real world!

If you were thinking of going as far as Hunstanton (I understand that's a big bike meet venue) - I was at a hotel there last year (big carpark etc), could dig out the details if you wanted somewhere you could all stay together?

They make great big boys toys though! Whats more they pay me to play with them.

Throwing all mine out the pram soon until I get back and start using my old familiar ones around Nelson's patch. Soooo looking forward to my "Great Escape", the tunnelling is going very well and no one has yet discovered Tom **** or Harry. Weekend sounds like it will be great fun and a good chance to catch up with everyone again. Six days to go for me now, then I can think happy thoughts and go out and play with Emily.
