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. We shall be meeting at around 10 am on Sunday 26th February 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 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!)


The Cowper Arms will be open and will be offering their delicious sausage sarnies as per usual.

Plenty has graciously agreed once more to arrange one of his extremely popular pre-meet runs that morning.

I've arranged for the weather to be sunny and unseasonally warm & Chris71 has arranged to have both of his cars in pieces in his garage again (probably).

So, come and join us on the 26th. We don't care what you come along in. We're a friendly bunch and all are welcome!

Please add your name to the list on the Herts/Beds/Cambs forum and write 'RUN' at the end if you fancy a blast before hand.

I'll be there, will be nice to meet some fellow car lovers and put our product out the open locally.
Welcome to Pistonheads.

You may not be aware of the fact that it's customary, no, compulsory on this site for newbies to offer their company's services free of charge to the organisers of totally unofficial Pistonheads get togethers.

Welcome on board. I've met Lisa a couple of times. She was so positive when we first suggested a meet at the pub. She's a great landlady.

It's people like you who make Pistonheads so very special!

Rather than driving on the run, if I'm photographing, it might be worth me jumping in with someone nearer the front of the pack and hanging out of the window like it's a hen night.
WIMP!

Can't you drive and photograph at the same time, man? I was doing that just last week on the A12. I was trying to get a shot of The Shard together with the Olympic Stadium. But, I got told off for being an idiot by Mrs Blib and had my phone hi tech mega pixel SLR confiscated.

You've gotta remember Blib, I'm going to be in a Clio 1.2. With that sort of power, if I slip and put my foot down it'll spin right out in a plume of smoke hehe
A fair point, well made.
