Green Laning Around Thetford Forest and Review

[hipo1024]

lol. either. Ima bring grub with me for 2 reasons A) Im a cheap arse lol and B) I might get a little pekish waiting for you lot to get unstuck LOL.

There is a service station at Barton Mills roundabout for snacks...or a little shef next door, or the snack shop at the picnic area might be open. And im sure there will be plenty of other places near by for grub.

[hipo1024]

what route you going robertmillsav? We could meet up on the A14 near newmarket and convoy?

[fudge]

and fogman do you wanna my tyres for a day?

no thanks fudge dont want an advantage over the others

If you two (i.e. You and Fudge) want to get to mine for nine/half nine we can go in convoy after a cuppa.

mite be better to meet you on route neil cos that will mean an extra hour in bed rather than tramping round norwich

are we eating lunch out or taking grub with us ? eating is more important than remembering the recovery gear to me

well according to google maps the fastest way is around norwich. but then norwich trafic is allways bad (errm well not compared to london )

[RatCav]

There is a Little Chef on the junction of the A11 and A47:

NR9 3AU

Do you want to meet there for half nine Fogman/Fudge and then convoy down.

[fogman]

i did mean south of norwich guys as ratty is north of the city & its a bit of a cuffal to get to his & back again

so the a47/a11 split sounds good to me mate

if you all bring your own grub & cups ill bring a gas cooker kettles milk sugar & t bags so we can have a picnic at lunchtime

[hipo1024]

that sounds like a plan fogman! ill just have to remember to bring a mug lol.

rob, I'm on my phone at work atm so I can't see were that is on the map, but ill look it up when I get home.

[RatCav]

I will get Chloe ('er indoors) to bake some cakes as well

[fogman]

ill just have to remember to bring a mug lol.

i always have 1 in the cup holder section between the seats

I will get Chloe ('er indoors) to bake some cakes as well

its just getting better & better

[hipo1024]

Haya rob. I'd be joining the A14 at J37 from ely (the junction before you go back on the A11 towards thetford), is that before or after your compulsory BP stop? lol

[hipo1024]

lol, not a route as such, but I have marked out some of the lanes. Im waiting for ian to finish playing with his lumpy jumper and send me his route to compare/merge. If you PM me your email addy I'll send you the final product once its ready. Dont want to send you what I have atm coz it may just confuse things.

As for the cuppa, sounds a googun!

[fogman]

was it my imagination ? but didnt somebody mention "cakes"

[RatCav]

Just got in from buying cake and flapjack making ingredients ... thats the midday sugar rush sorted. Chloe is under the impression Fogman is more interested in cakes now than the green laning.

You still up for meeting at Little Chef Fogman? I might get there a little earlier than 9:30 to get a fat boy Olympic Breakfast in for the day.

Are we also all meeting at the Premier Inn between 10:30 and 11:00?

[fogman]

yeah little chefs ok with me mate, ill ring you friday night to confirm time etc
i dont know where chloe would of got that idea from ? female intuitation maybe

[hipo1024]

Yes I think Prem. inn would be the best place to meet because then the longest anyone has to drive is about 1.25 hrs (ish).

So as it stands now,
When: Sat the 19th
Where: Car Park of Premier Inn, Thetford
Time: between 10:30 and 11.00am

How many of you lot know eachover? i.e. would it be a good idea to PM me your mobile numbers so we can call you at half 11 to wake you up lol. If you all know eachover then wont bother as someone will have your number anyways.

Everyone know whats going on then? and what they are bringing with them? and dont forget the cakes or we'll never hear the end of it lol

[hipo1024]

Can I bollow your hand held CB? I dont have a aerial, but I'm sure it'l reach.

[RatCav]

1 off Trooper
1 off Wife
X off Cakes (to keep Fogman happy )
1 off set of random other munchies
1 off Fogman in his truck complete with a Fudge
1 off set of random but comprehensive tools in case of emergencies.
Shackles and rope
Anything else I can think of that might be useful.

No CB but trying to obtain one.

Both Fudge and Fogman have my mobile number, but will pm you mine in about 5 mins just in case.

[fudge]

No CB but trying to obtain one.

would you like to borrow my cb radio? you will have to get some wiring for it. but mine unplugs from mine very easly

i will bring my recovery gear, so we have a hand winch

[RatCav]

That would be awesome Fudge. I have a spare ciggy lighter socket as well or I can tap into one of the feeds I have got.

Chloe has asked wether she can do a bit of driving as well lol .... god help Banshee

[fogman]

ive got a set of walkie talkies somewhere, ill dig em out & have a look hopefully they will operate on 1 of the cb channels then me & mick can have our ears on
