The 'actually-in-Herts' North London meet
Discussion
It's time for another local meet!
As per usual, the North London meet will actually be a good few miles north of London in leafy Hertfordshire. Time and venue to be confirmed, but probably around 10am on Sunday 21st August at The Cowper Arms in Letty Green (in between Hatfield and Hertford).
It's about 15 minutes away from the Potters Bar junction of the M25 and it's also a good rural starting point for a morning's hoon if anyone wants to go on (or arrange a pre-meet drive).

Directions
The scenic route from Potters Bar/A1000: Follow the A1000 north as Potters Bar gives way to Brookmans park. Go past the traffic lights for the B157 junction and about 150yds further up there's a turning to the right signposted 'Essendon B158'. Follow this road into the village of Essendon (about 3.5 miles) and out the other side. After you leave the village and the road returns to NSL you want to take the second road on your left. It's a very sharp turn and it's unsignposted. After that you want to keep following the road to Letty Green, through the village and out the other side. The pub is on your right immediately after you pass underneath a railway bridge.
From the A1/A414: Take the A414 (heading east if you're coming from the A1) until you come to a roundabout (the 3rd I think) signposted Cole Green and Birch Green. After you pass through a couple of traffic islands there's a signpost on the the right to Letty Green. Follow this road (if you overshoot it there's another turning about 50 yds later) and the pub is on your left about 1/4 mile later.
(Neither way is as complicated as it sounds, I promise. The post code is SG14 2NL, but some sat navs do have trouble locating it!)
ETA Date provisionally changed to the 21st

As usual myself and the Mrs are on board, except as others have said, we are already booked for Wilton House that day.
Could I suggest the weekend after? Only as the weekend before (the 7th) has an event on at Duxford with many car clubs attending that I think has been mentioned on here too.

This is overdue as far as i'm concerned

Only thing it's lacked in the past is breakfast but i can always bring something along i suppose.
Don't think i'm doing Wilton but i guess many will so 21st will be fine........ though there is some talk on PN of a visit to the London Motor Museum on the same day, but not yet confirmed as far as i know.
........ and as for Plenty's Run........ you betcha !!!

Plus I think true enthusiasts just love cars. I've seen supercar owners transfixed by old hot hatches that cost less than their matching luggage. And everybody loves MX5s.
Anyway, fledging attendance list copied over from the twin thread in the London section. Feel free to stick your name down and I'll try and keep the two threads synchronised!
1. Chris71 - thumbing a lift
2. Blib - Chris's taxi
3. Gary - Frogeye (definite probable)
4.
