Baloo Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Oh well stopping at the Luton TL Friday Night, must be somwhere around there for Brekky. Look out for a Cafe with loads of lorries outside it is often best I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteLife Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Okay, we've GOT to have a full length report and photos from this one when it happens... Please, can I talk someone into 1,000 words and a couple dozen photos? It's easier than it sounds, and you don't have to be a Rev guru to appreciate kites enough to write a good article.

Baloo Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 John, one thing I can assure you is if Harrier is there, there will be some pictures. I am fairly sure someone will put "pen to paper" or rather finger to keyboard for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John I am quite happy to take the photos as my Canon 40D I bought is not really getting enough use (according to the other half ), Bruce is the man for anything above the ground though. Not to sure on my writing skills so perhaps that is best left to someone else ! regards Dave M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor99 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Looks like 0930 for 1030 is the target time then And good points made about breakfast - most important meal of the day. But I couldn't lower myself to McD. The good news is that there is a Krispy Cream at LU2 9LR which, acording to multimap, is only a few miles away. Mmmmmm Donuts . Bad news is that it is the other side of passport control at the airport. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the do Bacon and Eggs in the morning?? You're way off the mark there If you're looking for a Full English, this IS the National Trust we're talking about here, think, more, little old lady, "nice cup of tea and a sit down" Oh well stopping at the Luton TL Friday Night, must be somwhere around there for Brekky. Look out for a Cafe with loads of lorries outside it is often best I find. You will pass a Tesco on the way to the Downs, I think they do a half decent breakfast, so you could order two.

sailor99 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 If their website is to be believed it appears they do a breakfast in the cafe (assuming I have the right place), but it is only available from 1000 onwards: http://www.hbs-webdesign.co.uk/cgateway/cafe.htm Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone in Shoe Bob Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I can recommend the Bedfordshire Clanger, though one is bealey enough to fill the gaps in my teeth and as Woody says "Not Cheap" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Not cheap, not early but BREKKY. Nowt wrong with 3 Brekkies a Day. And if Tesco is half decent that means 6 Brekkies. You all now presume I am a bit on the portly side, you wouldnt be far wrong. I am not fat, just borderline Obese according to my Dr. But then according to those BMI type charts anyone who is not skinny is borderline Obese. All I need is BREKKIE (I think everyone knows that now) Toilets, Water (or Coke or other pop and rubbish type drinks) and Wind. Not always in that order. Although the BREKKIE is pretty important.

Stone in Shoe Bob Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 RE: Breakfast. I did say "think they do a decent breakfast" to be honest I'm not entirely sure that Tesco still has a cafe but if not turn right at the Norman King, opposite the church and just after the "duck" railway bridge (trust me you'll know it when you see it), for Asda I know they will be able to sort you out. Give McDonnalds a miss Saturday as you may well be stuck with them Sunday as supermarkets don't open till 10:00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloo Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Mmmm MMMmmmm MMMMMM. That looks like it would just wash down the 2 Bacon and Egg sarnies and 2 Egg custard tarts I just had for my tea a treat. Bri if that is a picture of the Tesco brekkie looks like it will do for me. Bob when you say "duck" railway bridge that worries me a bit, will I get my Land Rover under it and still have a roof rack on it do you think??

sailor99 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 While it looks pretty good Brian, one of those bangers (the middle one) looks like it's missing a bit - Should you not have taken it back and asked for two more as compensation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
