Stone in Shoe Bob Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 As promised a map for the Hocklifffe guys. I have not included any eateries as I figured that you have a Happy Eater attached to your hotel. However I have included enough detail on this map to allow you to match it up to the Luton map in case you wanted to go further afield in search of sustenance. Though the most direct route to the Downs is through Dunstable I would recommend you take my route through Tottenhoe to avoid Saturday morning traffic. On my route I would estimate 10-15mins journey time.

sailor99 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Just had a quick check of my hotel booking. I went for the Luton traveloge as the prices were rising on the Hockliffe one at the time. I appear to have bought breakfast at the hotel (In the bar cafe it appears). Still I suppose that doesn't stop me having a second breakfast, but I thought I would mention in just in case any of the Luton crowd would prefer not to call into a supermarket or whatever. Anyway, it also appears I booked in for Friday night. I am not sure what time I will arrive, but if anyone else happens to be there, and by coincidence is sat in the bar, and happens to see a tall (6'4''), slightly greying, confused looking gent probably in jeans and cowboy boots, then they will know who it is! If they were feeling sociable they could even ask him to buy them a beer. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloo Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I got some Sedgwicks, I got some Sedgwicks, I got some Sedgwicks, eeeee IIIII adio I got some Sedgwicks. Do I sound happy enough????? As far as Luton is concerned look out for a balding, greying, fat-ish sad lonely old chap with a silly hat, no maybe not the silly hat. And good news about Brekky in the TL, as long as it is a PROPER Brekkie. Hopefully see you, amongst others I expect on Friday night then Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone in Shoe Bob Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Okay, apologies Hockliffe guys. I am told I have directed you a long way round to avoid the Saturday morning traffic the word document below gives directions for a more direct route, I knew it existed but I didn’t know it well enough to describe it but I am reliably informed that it is not as complicated as I thought so here goes. Safe journey one and all. Route_to_The_Downs_From_Hockliffe__reviased_.doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraserx Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 ... good news about Brekky in the TL, as long as it is a PROPER Brekkie. For seven quid, it'd better be (I've booked it an' all) or that Blast upright'll be getting another workout! Ha ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor99 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Pleased to say it does look like a perfectly acceptable repast. I particularly like that phrase "All you can eat": https://www.travelodge.co.uk/bar_cafe/ I am less keen on the rather wet weather forecast however. Sounds like a weekend for oilskins.

Baloo Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 On a more serious note. I need to buy some Black Dacron type thread to do a repair (and maybe even make a kite) if anyone has some spare that I might buy off them that would be fantastic. Thanks, Chris.

Stone in Shoe Bob Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 It is with great sadness that we have to announce the recent demise of Mr. G Tyrell’s hard drive. :C was a dearly loved friend and he will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with the family at this very difficult time. On a more serious note that does mean that until he has bought and installed a replacement he will not be able to respond to any posts on this forum or to any email.

bryanbeasley Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Found some nice mustards lurking on the shelves - hmmm... (thinking about it though, 'Lurking' might not be the best description of what jars of Mustard do on shelves - substitute 'ornamenting' for 'lurking on' will you.) Noticing that post about needing some dacron... I'll be calling into The Highwaymen towrds the weekend if anybody wants anything picking up - you know, order it over the phone and tell Shirley I'll pick it up sort of thing. Just a thought. Oh, unless Joe has anything left to clear through? Where's Tyrrell - he'd know. ;-) Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
