I am having a look at my old favourite haunts, see where we can get the best car parks

would be good if we can get an idea of rough numbers so I know how big a car park we will need.

Japfest is on the 16th, so that might affect attendance somewhat. I'll be doing both!

Date changed to the 10th due to Japfest on the 16th. Thanks Gareth for reminding me.

I've still got sand under the carpet in my car from last time.

Ha ha sorry for that Tony, I take it you would rather not visit the beach mid-run then?

Brilliant road coming back from that beach though x)

Yeah, not keen on the beach either!

Don't worry I am not planning on making you build sand castles!

Tony was looking forward to putting on his knotted hanky and rolling up his trouser legs for a bit of a paddle I reckon.

http://goo.gl/msBC0A - it would have been fine if I had brought the right gear with me!

Now that I know, it's all good this year AFAIAC.

Spoil sport!

Stu's just a fuss-pot. Don't listen to him.

Well that settles it then, we are going to the beach. Who are we going to bury in the sand?

Yep Tony, from the Horsey Bay entrance and down along there. It's a fairly straight road that is built on the wet marshy land so the road moves a bit over time, it has slight undulations in the road that make it quite fun to drive down at a 'sensible' pace x)

Although unfortunately I don't think we will have time to cover all of Norfolk on this run so think we will be giving the East coast a miss this year. As much as I enjoy the roads around that area.

Gotta be Stu after that comment he made about me.

Or maybe Dom if he gets too frisky (I assume he will be taking part).

In that case...

Some longer serving members will remember this legendary 'walking on water' pic.

And Smitty's limbo dancing..

Of course you can. Near enough Essex anyway!
