Hi,

I’d be really keen to join too, hopefully it might happen this summer! I’ll be in my M2 Comp.

Have you got a date in mind for a run Tony? I should hopefully see you at the MR2 run regardless

[Angpozzuto]

With the world starting to get back to normal is it worth setting a date for this one?

[rjg48]

I forget about this.

Russell - Old Merc or SAAB 93 Tubs

Yes, but I have a couple of things to sort out first which won't be until next week.
After those are out of the way I'll start again from scratch in a new thread.
This one is well past its sell-by date!

This place is opening this weekend just outside of Tonbridge: https://www.broadhuntingclub.co.uk/

Could be a good spot!

[ghiblicup]

That looks great! and not far from me and some of my regular runs. Top find!

[kiethton]

Nice!

Just outside? If it's where I think it is, it's 12 miles from Tonbridge. Plus there doesn't appear to be a whole lot of space to park.

Sure: for a static meet. The opening on Saturday is at 10am. Unless they can open earlier on a Sunday though, that's hopeless for a dawn run.
Far too much traffic around to finish that late.

[Ben Lowden]

Turns out it's closer to Yalding/Marden so not that close to Tonbridge after all. But still, only 10-15 minutes away.

You never know, we might be able to twist their arm to open a bit earlier with the promise of a group turning up for coffee and cake...

Anyway I'll probably head down on Saturday if the rains hold off as it's only 15 minutes from me so will report back on suitability for future runs.

[Red Devil]

Yes please. Feedback always welcome.

The food on offer matters though after getting up at silly o'clock.
By 08.30-09.00 I need something more substantial than coffee and a packet of crisps...!

[ghiblicup]

I checked with them and they do not open on Sundays which is a real shame...

[Angpozzuto]

Tbh Tony's go to breakfast spot is going to take some beating, the food is spot on and the road leading up to it is dead straight and pretty empty first thing in the morning

[Red Devil]

Thanks. Back to Plan A...

[sparks85]

Still up for this, be good to get a date pencilled in...?

[rjg48]

There's Mickey's Diner. Bluebell Hill, a couple of miles North of Maidstone.

www.mickeysdinerbluebellhill.com/menus

Open from 6.30am, 7 days a week, according to the website.

Had food there a couple of times.

I went down on Saturday and was a great little venue for a drive out and coffee, but they don't serve meals so probably off the cards for now for a breakfast run. I'll probably look to organise a larger PH event there next spring/summer – easily enough parking for 250 cars with the field.

Would the owners allow us to invite a friendly burger van down for the day?
