Leighton Buzzard Meet 'n' Beer V : Turkey Work-Out
Discussion
With December speeding past faster than Eddie Irvine on a moped, it's time to start thinking about the important event of this month. No, not Christmas or New Year, but the latest Leighton Buzzard Meet 'n' Beer.
For only the second time in the short history of this event, there will be a run beforehand. Those who've over-indulged are welcome to jog or cycle round the course, but for the rest: a nice blast out in a sportscar to clear the festive cobwebs.
The proposed route is here (thanks to Darren - FWD - for his mastery of AutoRoute).
The date is Sunday December 28th
The time is 10.30 (Oggs' time for the route is 1.5 hours)
The start is here We'll start at the carpark 'p' that is next to the A4146 marker. Entrance is off hockliffe street (Carpark behind library if you know L-B)
The finish is here"The Grove Lock" which everyone seemed to enjoy at LB-IV.
If you don't want to do the run, join us at the Pub anyway. We'll aim to be there about noon (ie when they open). The pub manager recommended we arrive early, and is looking forward to seeing the Tivs again (this time in daylight), so
Come on down You know you want to!
Important Notes:
1) We may shorten or completely can the run depending on the weather on the day. Hopefully it will be a crisp clear sunny day, but trying to follow a route in the pouring rain isn't anyone's idea of fun!
2) I will be in the MGB. On the A41, those who want to "give it large" are more than welcome to do so (
permitting). I'll be pottering along as best possible. I propose that we all regroup after we leave the A41 near Bourne End
3) Remember before any overtaking that we will be filming the run. The resulting footage may lead to some urine extraction at a later date.

Edited to change the rendevous point off the A41, because I've got the wrong point!!

Morning All,
I've added the confirmed start-time of 10:30. Yes, I know it's early, but the route takes about an hour and a half!
The route is being tweaked slightly because autoroute went the other way round Tring than I wanted! It actually should simplify the instructions slightly. Also, when you leave the A41, ignore the instructions to go backwards and forwards across the A41, instead just come off and turn toward Berkhamsted. Once again autoroute decided to only recognise the junction point on the otherside of the A41!
HTH
