New Forest Run (November)

Post by purplebargeken » Tue Oct 01, 2013 10:58 pm

Talked about loosely this evening. A little saunter over from Londonland and Hertfordshiresheer to the forest of free-roaming my little ponies and small pigs. Details to be confirmed soon'ish.

Any stray pigs that get knocked over will not be put onto an impromptu BBQ, cooked and scoffed will they Cath. No, not ever. Yum. I mean yuck!

Gary knows a good pub in the locale so all will be well.

Details arriving soon'ish.

Sorry ... gonna pass on this one .. with winter fast approaching and the nights drawing in .. a 250 mile round trip is too far for me.. if it was the summer i'd be down there like a shot.

fair comment. So, where to instead then? Somewhere a little more accessible maybe?

Hi Ken .. how bout this ... "The go back in Time run" ... but its a bit extreme ... go round the M25 in an ANTI CLOCKWISE direction on the night the clocks go back(Oct27th i believe) ..not sure how long it takes to circumnavigate the M25 but if we aimed to finish at the starting point by bang on 2am we would have possibly done the fastest ever(legally) trip round the M25.Start point would be South Mimms services.
Could also do it "Arctic circle" style with the roofs down for the brave.

That sounds suitably nuts.

Arsebiscuits, just realised it would need the F taxing. Can't do that this until the end of Nov. Bugger :rant:
