Okay, so who's up for another local meet? The date is Sunday 27th February, provisional time and place is 10:30am 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).

http://www.thecowperarmscolegreen.co.uk/

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!)

How irritating....

My little car goes in the day before for some serious amount of work. Which means I am either in the Mondeo rolleyes or I might persuade dad to come in his NSX (just come out of hospital so depends on how well next few weeks go.

It is almost walking distance for me.

I am sure there will be people passing wherever you are if you want to come along anyway, my passenger seat might be spare, will know nearer the time.

Is Blib Italian?


Oh sorry, you mean his car.

Put me down, if dad is better, will be the NSX, otherwise I will either pluck up courage in the Mondeo or walk.

What happened to the Westie Andy? Happy to give you a lift over if you want. Shan't be hooning I'm afraid (unless the project moves on quicker than expected!) but should be able to chauffeur.

Thanks for putting my name down, Chris. I will be bringing something Italian. But, I won't be arriving at any speed that could possibly be described as "fast".

Not after the "Crewes Hill incident" of '08.

hehe

Hoping to make this meet, it'll be my first smile will most likely be bringing the rest of the family along too, not sure I'd get away with a pub lunch any other way. smile

Will probably bring camera, so clean your cars! wink
