Hi All

Katie (new to the forum) and I are looking to go out on Saturday morning, ideally Epping or Thorndon - is anyone planning to go? Seems Epping might be boggy but Thorndon less so.....

Let me know if anyone's up for it.

Hi Tom
Not sure about mileage but can also only go if one if the master navigators is going as I don't know my way around thorndon yet and never been to Epping.

Will see if others plan to go...

Thanks Ninja, would be good to have someone experienced with us.

I don't mind so much what time I go - have to be back in London for 5ish is the only thing really....

Epping will be good by the weekend. Was out this AM. Still some boggy bits but they can be easily avoided and may well be gone in the next few days.

Hey ninja might sound a stupid question but any idea on what sort of mileage your looking at? Even if it's a rough idea. Don't really wana get left behind or drag u down as such.

Hi tomibiza, not sure on mileage but I'm not planning on making it uncomfortable for anybody... We will ride in a sort of loop so we won't be to far away at any onetime from the car park....Should be a nice day with the weather so let's make it more social for whoever turns up....

Hey all - a mate of mine and I are heading up to Epping on early trains from Islington. Should be there by 8am or so and keen for a good 3 hour mission - might bump into you lot!

Just to check... Are we saying Thorndon at 11? Think it's Ninja's call cos he's the one with the navigational brain....
