New year, new venue? Any suggestions. Or shall we continue at The Plough in Fen Ditton?

Regards

I can't think of a pub with a large well lit car park to the south or east of Cambridge, so let's meet at The Plough in Fen Ditton for now! Maybe we could discuss alternative venues over a shandy ot two. Shall we say Wednesday next week at 7.30? Who's up for it?

Taffy,

I assume you will be coming along the A14 from Colchester direction. Come of at the A1303 junction and take first exit at the roundabout (probably signposted Cambridge City Centre). After about 1/4 mile take turning on right (should be signposted Fen Ditton). You'll now be travelling parallel with the A14. After about 1 mile you'll pass over a bridge and after about 300 metres come up to crossroads (Blue Lion pub on your right) - go straight across into "High Street". After 200 metres bear right at war memorial into a road called "Green End". Follow road round until you see The Plough on your left. Drop down into car park.

See you there.

Grahame

Dave,

I also commute to the smoke (Liverpool Street)....
The pub serves food so no need to eat before you come out to play!

Yep, I'm up for it. Get back from Cornwall on the Tuesday, so this is a well-timed meet! Chance to exchange seasonal tales etc.

Course I'll still be in holiday mood(ish) as I'll only have been back at work for one day by then!

See you Wednesday
Richard

Shame you can't tootle down for our first one of the year. Maybe we should organise a weekend meet - a four hour round trip for you won't be so bad then!! In fact I have an idea for a drive to Grafham Water which is near the A1-A14 junction, maybe when the days get a bit longer.
Are you going to Donno? If you are, can I cadge a ride rouud the track? I aim to get there late morning.

CALLING GMAY,

Do you live anywhere near Buckden, coz I do. And I'm extremely close to Grafham Water, about 1/4 mile to be exact.
(Also a reasonably well lit pub car park with ample space for about 15-20 scoobs).

Hi Phone

I don't live near Grafham Water, just thinking of organising a run from the Cambridge area up to Grafham Water.

Question

Dave

What's with Brazil and all that exotic stuff? I thought you were spending your time in the cold of Sweden. When do you anticipate coming back and showing us all your P1 (and sun tan)?
