Great World Tour of West Norfolk. 16th Aug

Mr Gazza · 03-08-2015, 09:08 PM

This is the run postponed from July...Hoping for some better weather this time.

Meet 10.30am Sun 16th August. In Alysham Market place.

Run is Approx 100 miles so fuel and food stops planned, but please come with at least 20 miles fuel as there is no petrol in Alysham...next fuel stop Dereham.

Route goes roughly Aylsham, Dereham, Fakenham, Holkham. Then coast road stopping at Burham Deepdale and Hunstanton. On to Kings Lynn, Gayton, Litcham, N Elmham and Aylsham.

Hope you can make it...There are some great roads on the route...

Mr Gazza · 05-08-2015, 05:23 PM

Anyone interested in this? Or shall I spend the day Cresoting my hedge?...

Grumpy · 05-08-2015, 08:56 PM

I'm up for a day out Gary.
Will give you a call ....

utopia · 05-08-2015, 09:17 PM

I fancy it, but not exactly sure yet whether I'll be booked up already.
Then again, my prior booking might be ...a biking holiday in Norfolk.
So I might show up anyway.
Can't quite commit for definite yet though, hence my late post.

Dirty · 05-08-2015, 10:39 PM

Can you move Alysham a bit closer to the smoke, I'd love to come but it's a hell of a day trip!

Mr Gazza · 06-08-2015, 07:05 PM

Grumpy...It will be a pleasure....And make a change for you to follow me..

Utopia...Decisive as ever..

If you come to Norfolk give me a shout. It would be a shame not to go for a ride out...And you are of course welcome to pop in for a cuppa. (I think I will be on holiday at home that week).

Dirty, I would love to move Alysham to London..

A lot of it's residents would be at home. There was a big building push in the late sixties to help with the London overspill...How I came to meet emzzeder's family in fact, when they moved up from North London.

I'm chuffed that you want to support the run, but Aylsham was picked for being a pretty easy hit for our new Norfolk members to meet up....No sign as yet..

...Still!. A whole new week not started on yet...

emzedder · 07-08-2015, 06:48 PM

Looks like one I can make ... looks like a nice day out

Mr Gazza · 08-08-2015, 10:13 AM

Yay..!!

Will send SatNav co-ordinates for Aylsham...

Darren69 · 08-08-2015, 11:19 AM

Creosoting hedges just happens to be my forte but i'm no good with fences and mine needs doing so if you're not out riding I'll swap you. Deal?

Mr Gazza · 08-08-2015, 11:28 AM

Nah..! Don't you know nothin' about gardening..?? You should always prune fences hard back in the Winter.

Try to plan a stop at the Gin Trap at Ringstead which is just slightly inland from Hunstanton. The owner/manager is a Ducati fan (think he has one). Moira organised a couple of meet ups there. Good food with the meat sourced from the Sandringham estate. Some nice adjacent scratching roads.

Mr Gazza · 08-08-2015, 05:29 PM

Good call Capo....Thank you.

That is exactly the kind of stop I had been looking for, but I don't know the West of the County very well at all..I will have a minor re-vamp of that section of the run.

You coming..?

Mr Gazza · 13-08-2015, 06:44 PM

Weather is looking good for Sunday...

Any more takers for this?

14-08-2015, 07:39 AM

I'm keen, just depends what happens Saturday night

dacs · 14-08-2015, 06:42 PM

Plan to be there at the start, may have to jump ship about half-way round tho'
