Ok cool, as far as I can see that is a right turn off West Street

'7'

Yup, and go right to the top.

The thread is here , http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...ad.php?t=12428 ,3 ppl have siad they'll be up for this , so guessing we'll stop at pease pottage , to see if any scoobs are waiting there for us , so you might not have to lead lorraine , But if no one is there :-( then i don't mind taking the healm for you , if you are unsure of where to go

Is that a paper map , what's that google maps + google street view all the way

The NCP is at the end of russell road ( the last right of west street if your driving towards the sea ) , that's if we are driving through town to avoid the A23.

There sould be atleast 7 scoobs there for defo ! Better than nowt !

Bring ya beech towel and sun cream , is going to be scorchio

lorrainecallison

Ah good, don't know why i didn't see that

More than happy for you to take the lead, as you seem to know your way about, also may have me mum in the car and the less stressed i am the less bad language she'll have to hear

It wasn't a paper map , i got it from a website about Brighton pier, but hey ho, gonna stop stressing about it now, wait till tomorrow

I plan to get to lakeside about 9.30, which in reality means i'll be there about 9.45

wrx sti 320bhp

wongy

Hopefully will be a good meet for you guys at pease pottage

Have a good day all

ron_uk2000

No probs You don't need that stress with your mum in car , Just enjoy the ride and follow another scoob


i was doing the google street view of devils dyke road , i didn't realize that it's the road from the classic scene in quadophina where there all on there scooters going to brighton , and they stop on that road , and look over to brighton , i've always wondered where that was

see ya all 2moro

lorrainecallison

As it turns out my mum isn't coming after all, so just me and my son, which is stress enough in itself

I didn't realise that either, and I used to work in the hospital on Dyke Road and live in a turning off it!

Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow

jason73

Great day out in Brighton............ big thanks to Ron who despite it being his first meet did a great job leading to Pease Pottage, then was a shame we all get separated on way to Brighton, and getting through the traffic to the car park was a bit of a nightmare, although you three beat us there, you were already parked up when we finally arrived Don't know what happened to the two who got left on A23?

Despite all that had a lovely day, good weather, fun driving through Devil's Dyke, and especially nice to meet some new members Hope the bit of mucking fuddle with the second part of the journey hasn't put you off

Kartingsteve

Had a great day but Sorry I made a bit hard work getting there as the lead car, and not knowing the route that well and relying on a Sat nav but was a good run to Devil's Dyke and did get to the car park in the end . Nice to meet you all and with perfect weather.
Plus I had a great run home back over Devil's Dyke without any motorway this time.

lorrainecallison

No you did a great job Would have mentioned you by name in my last post but didn't know it until now

Next year will make sure ESC are a bit more organised re route etc

The silence of the others is a bit worrying...........are they still roaming around Devil's Dyke

wongy

Sounds like the few of you had a good day out

Kartingsteve

Still trying to get out of Brighton

ron_uk2000

I'm Here

What happened

We came out of pease pottage , due to that bloody boot sale emptying out , we all got a bit separated

But as i was going down the a23 , the turning that i thought we was supposed to be taking was about 8 miles down from pp services

Sooooo plenty of time to re-group i thought

Then i noticed your car lorraine. half way up the slip road off the 1st exit after pp services

I thought sh@t !! no way i could turned off without causing a accident also i stiil had 4 scoobies following me

so we continued down the a23 till the ' Hickstead showjumping exit ' And took the route as planned , had a blast through devils dyke ( which was WOW ) , Then we parked up at the car park at the end of devils dyke , and waited there for 15 mins to see if the rest of ya would show ya faces

But after that , and no sign of ya , so we just headed off into brighton. as my kids were moaning they wanted to get in that sea ASAP , and we couldn't hear a scooby for miles around

Yep maybe some better route planning next time , not sure where that member from the south east scooby club took ya , but it wasn't what was planned

Well i'm not put off It was great fun blasting down the motorway with other sccobs

Just wished we could of all stayed as a group for a bit longer

Oh well better planning next year eh

Looking forward to meeting you's lot again

Great bunch of guys QUALITY

Soooooo Looking forward to the tunnel run ! After what some of you were saying about it ! I seriously can't wait for that event

Thanks lorraine for compliments on taking the lead ! I should have stayed lead, but hey ho, we thought the local boys knew where they were going

Essexdon

Sounds like you guys had a good time there guys.

Yeap the tunnel run is an epic night, shame its so far away thou

ron_uk2000

Well not many , but a few pics when we were group






Waiting for the others

lorrainecallison

Hi Ron, glad you made it there and back safe

I do take the blame for this, if I hadn't been wuss-y about taking the lead, I wouldn't have passed it on to someone else and caused this. Steve (not his fault at all ) didn't have a copy of the route I had posted so was using his sat nav , which unfortunately took us a different way I was in a dilemma as to whether to follow or not, but obviously did, hoping we would all hook up again over Devil's Dyke, but it was not to be

So i do apologise, also to the two we left behind on the A23 back from Devil's Dyke

Next time will do it better, also this Saturday's Posers Cruise will be fine, we all usually manage to stay together pretty much there

Prob won't be on site for a bit, poxy rabbit chewed through the internet cable at home so am doing this from work

Sorry again everybody

Beatfreak

Hey, I had a great time and it was fantastic meeting you all at Lakeside and then joining more at pease! Shame about the split, reckon only way to avoid that again is take the boring route or maybe print proper instructions for the route we took! Which was awesome, sorry if you missed out lol

Pub meet next methinks...

ron_uk2000

No probs Lorraine

Next time we'll have learnt by this years mistakes !

Anyway .... i blame wongy, for pulling out and giving you the helm


How about southend run on the 2nd mate

Beatfreak

Can't make it, velly solly!

lorrainecallison

Haha, glad you'e quite about it
Bloody women drivers eh

wongy

Sorry for dropping out last minute hoping to be at the posers this week

jason73

Really enjoyed the trip:-) shame we got split up after pease pottage:-( nice drive through devils dyke though:-D .well done to the leader of our group for getting us there:-) .i also came from the ses lot as well

lorrainecallison

I think it's great we can all get together from different groups for days out like this

Hope to do the same thing again next year ( If Wongy lets me have anything to do with it ) but maybe we'll get some directions printed off for everybody so we all know where we're heading and can hopefully stay together better

wongy

Yeah your more then welcome Lorraine to have your say on this and I'm sure we can sort out the route for next time abit better
