Tonbridge - Evening run - 28th September

[Ben Lowden]

I'm going to put together a route for a little gentle run out after work on Tuesday 28th September, meeting somewhere in the Tonbridge area after work.

Can be flexible on when people can make it but I would have thought we'll want to meet by 18:30 latest to get a little jaunt in before it's dark, I'm thinking 1-2 hours tops to include driving and a stop off somewhere for a beverage.

Route TBD but if you're interested, add your name to the list and time you could meet from

1. Ben Lowden – Megane 275 Cup-S (meet from 18:00 onwards)
2. BenW – M2 Competition (meet from 18:15)

I’m unfortunately now attending a funeral on that day.

Any chance of changing to other day? No worries if not, I’ll join the next one.

Sorry to hear that chappj. I can't really do another day that week but we can always organise something again in October before the clocks change.

No probs. Hope to join you on Oct. Have fun!

Date not good for me I’m afraid. But October should be better! I’ll keep a look out.

I reckon i could make it, would depend on the route, big wide and LHD aren't great on narrow country roads

[Ben Lowden]

I'm not planning on anything too narrow so put your name down and I'll send you the route beforehand so you can double check you're happy.

It's all about the trade – you put them down to bed this night and you can do whatever you like the next

I can't believe how quickly the nights are drawing in now, hoping we'll have just enough daylight to get a few photos!

I have a rough route planned in my head – I'll set up a Google Maps route this week that I can share with everyone via PM along with our meeting point so please make sure you've got PM enabled on your account.

FYI, times for 28th September.

Sunset: 6:45pm
Twilight C: 7:18pm
Twilight N: 7:57pm
Twilight A: 8:37pm

C=Civil. N=Nautical. A=Astronomical

C is the relevant one. The sun is below the horizon but there should be (weather permitting) enough natural light for photos.

Very helpful thanks! We should be at the photo spot by 7pm, so just in time.

I've just planned what I thought was a little route, turns out it'll take about an hour to set off from Tonbridge and finish at the Poacher and Partridge, so should be all done by 7:30 for a quick lemonade. Any objections to that?

Sounds good to me.

Also might be bringing 1 other with me in a GR yaris if thats ok.

[XJR9LM]

Sounds good Ben, I may be a little late so not sure if you are happy to DM me the location of the photo stop and if so will meet you there and go onto the pub with you all afterwards. Cheers!
