Hythe & Folkestone for Seafood
We'll head off from Oakdene pick up en-route - cuppa at the railway cafe, Hythe, where either Nik The Brief or Parky might lead us down to Folkestone for a prawn or three!! Fantastic seafood to be had in Folkestone so come join us.

So.... who's up for this.

Please post up names.

Obviously I'll be at the beginning of it all, since I'm northish Kent.

So I'll start off at 09.00 at the Rose and Crown Car Park at Green Street Green Roundabout on the A21 toward Bromley.

If you want to meet up enroute, please make a suggestion of a pik up point and let's try to keep them to a minimum of 2 - 3.

NTB and/or Parky would you be able to meet us at the Light Railway and take us into Folkestone like once before?

Maybe not Nik... I think he's on hols that week.

I recall Slob came last year... is he back in the country yet??

Be prepared for the weather... it is April y'kno!

Great idea - 'cept I'll be in Florida until 19th April (leaving this Thursday!).

Any chance of postponing it til May (or coming down again perhaps)? A good run out towards Camber around the twisties is a great bit of road...

Then I can come out to play too

Think Parky may no longer be a Kentish boy! Last time we spoke he was planning on going off to Kenya to live and train as a pilot!!! Not sure though - Patinthehat may be up for it though as it is his neck of the woods.

Also saw a new Monnie (to these here parts - Hythe to be specific) last weekend, a red 'un with a Corse DP tank (the one with the chequered flag) - anybody on here by any chance?

Hey Slob, you never know they may have that squid tempura this time round!

Sorry Bob - no show for me... (but then you knew that).
Send me a PM if you want any advise on routes, etc.

I will be out on the bike - just going the other way (Winchester) for a long booked commitment.

Could this be one of those men things that they get in their middle age where they feel they've missed out in life and start again as a 20 year old??

No worries, we ended up there because Yours T-Ruly was being creative with the route

- I didn't know where I was either

- I was just following my nose. Otherwise we would have arrived at the Light Railway Cafe FAR TOO EARLY

- which would have been terribly Uncool

Just stick to the A & B roads and you will be fine.
