A little while back there was some interest to have a bit of a "collective drive" (convoys are naughty apparently) to the Mid-Essex meet on Sunday...

...so... who's interested? Meet starts at the Forresters (Great Totham) at 12:30 and I'll be there with the S (spare seat this time round too!).

I'm heading there from Chelmsford, and tend to go via Boreham and Hatfield Peveral, stop for a fill-up at the OptiMax garage outside Great Totham and then on to the meet... anyone want to join me?

Thanks for the reminder podie (got your e-mail). Yep, I plan to make an appearance this Sunday, weather permitting. This will be the first time since last October and it was over a year before that!

Revving up! .

OK, current plan is to meet at the Duke - it's the big pub on the left as you turn right in Hatfield Peveral to go down Maldon Road.

Shall we say about 12:00-12:10..?

Podie,

Got your email. As it happens, I was also arranging a small convoy from Southend only 3/4 of us & we normally go up a130 then around some back roads. Don't know if its easier if we meet you there...but can check with the other guys.

Alan.

Sounds fine to me in principle mate... only issue with that is the speed bumps! - the S won't clear the ones in the BP garage!!!

Can meet you anywhere nearby... Saino's, White Hart...?

About half a mile from the Boreham services on the A12. Come off the A12 at Boreham (heading towards Hatfield Peveral) and take the 2nd exit from the roundabout... drive for half a mile (if that!) and Sainsbury's is on the right, and the White Hart pub on the left.
