1] 06:45 start, AA routefinder says 1hr44mins...so allowing for stops(Toddington) and a slowish (I'm thinking 65mph?) cruising speed, about 2/2.5hrs. That might be flexible on the day though, as no-one has a really slow car. Rest assured we won't be leaving anyone behind
2] see above! Are you Amazon-ing or Sprite-ing?
3]HW is still planning to be with us, so yes.
4]Consulting the AA again the mileage is a mere 87.3 miles from Thurrock, so you'd have to have a much more uneconomical car to come a cropper. If any of you do have a real guzzler, you could stop at (from memory...I'm sure there's more) Thurrock, S.Mimms, Toddington and that one near the Pod without straying from our proposed route.

Are you Amazon-ing or Sprite-ing? I'll be in the Amazon - the Sprite currently lacks an MOT (my fault as I haven't had time but it should pass easily) & also following my op, I don't have enough strength back in my arm yet to change gear comfortably in that car - it's very heavy as the gearstick is half the length it should be

where in Thurrock services are you all meeting? is it in the petrol garage or the car park somewhere?, I hadn't really thought about it, and I'm not too sure of the layout there. I think we'll just find a quiet corner of the car park on arrival. Summary: in the car park.

We'll be the ones praying for dry weather Won't we all!! ,.. Will the motorbikes be able to cope with the (slow-ish) pace?? Usually they are zipping past me at stupid speeds on the motorway (before cutting someone up ) ,..

I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.
