Weekday evening rides..Pilgrim's way

Fanum · Jun 22, 2004

Have just been speaking to Mucky Helmet about the PIlgrim's way routes.......

My Weekends are pretty busy so does anyone fancy a nice easy jaunt along any of the north downs way/ pilgrim's way routes on a weekday evening???

Access is easy and the routes (if dry...wet chalk is baaaaaad) are easy........

With light nights at the moment it should be possible to get 2 or three hours in and still get home in the light, with perhaps a start time of 6 or 7?

Anyone fancy it?

Mucky Helmet · Jun 22, 2004

Oh Yes!

Good for me!

Wet chalk is not just bad - it is evil!

Dunno if you've done it already but I've just found a BOAT running from Meopham Green (looks as if it's just opposite the Cricketers) that runs down toward Ridge Wood and out to the Pilgrims Way.

I'm up for a recce.

Tossers, the pair of them!

Can you give me a firm starting point and a suggestion of a date?

Sorry guys, been away on the Pico's trip ( you lot missed a great one - loads of off-road ). The Pilgrims Way evening sounds great, so put my name down.

Mav - road tyres are fine for the Pilgrims Way

Don't let him near your jetwash - it'll never work again!

5 500ft up in the Picos, with another 10 miles off-road to go...

nelsonkite · Jun 22, 2004

Would definately be interested as i have just aquired an xr400 (a fine stablemate for my GS ADV) but have limited off road experience, i have done bits of the Pilgrims way in the last month or so and am trying to explore the green lanes of Kent. When were you thinking ?

Fanum · Jun 22, 2004

Ok....looks like we have a potential ride then.........

How's about next weds (er...that'll be the 30th)........start location TBC but the Plough at Eynsford is sensibly located for m'ways and five minutes from ther Pilgrim's way at Otford.

And 18:00?

Unless it's muddy I'll be on the ADV with normal anakees on.......

Phil Reynolds · Jun 22, 2004

Bill, if I can get away from work early, then yes please - count me in.

Greg Masters · Jun 22, 2004

Does anyone know the terrain?

Can this be done with road-tyres?

Greg

I will be on the KTM + trailer.

Usual offers of a lift apply.

If this trip is doable on road tyres (as Bill implies), I'll simply ride there and back (I have a meeting in central London that afternoon). If it needs knobblies, I'd appreciate a lift back.

ok no worries.

I suppose I had better mend my puncture then !

DavidHolmes · Jun 22, 2004

I'm in.

Fanum · Jun 22, 2004

David (MH) ...will PM you tommorrow about a recce of the route........if we take a look on the ikkle bikes just in case (and it's been peeing down today

) then i really fancy getting the ADV down there next weds.......

In fact, I have an idea i'll put up in more detail soon....the Pilgrim's way/North Downs route is 130 miles end to end of offroad stuff........could be a right old challenge to do the whole thing in a day on the GS's......

(RIP) maverick · Jun 23, 2004

Cool next Wednesday is ok with me too, is that other SA doos (ermm howzit Grizz) coming along as well? If it is not to wet then I will come with the GS rather than the AT.

mrTickle · Jun 23, 2004

I'm possibly moving home somewhere around the 30th so depending on how the exchange of contracts go, I'll try me best to make it ( on the GS of course :moped:

)
