Fancy a SOUTHEND meet in SUNNY Weather?-August/September.....read on

[AJ07]

Your welcome to use my plans and any questions but I've just got my work rota and as I only found out the date yesterday I've been unable to book it as holiday. I won't be able to make it but will be free from 7 onwards (new Sunday trading hours, blame our greedy government), or anytime before 9.30. Sorry to disappoint its beyond my control. No shift swapping would save me. :-(

Rather you were there as well, after all it is your manor. The next date?

Think we should stick with the plan if the weathers good
Who knows what weather the next 2 dates will bring
Just meet up on Southend seafront, or find a nice pub and meet there then go to seafront
Happy to go with flow tho

Anyone know a decent seaside parking spot for Southend?
Could be a pub, or just public parking. Be nice to get all together near centre of seafront esplanade or promende

Think its going to be very tight for me to be there dont think I be picking my car up till next weekend can confirm more this weekend

[AJ07]

Could all meet up at Thurrock as originally planned by Ben and then go on from there. Let me put my thinking cap this weekend. OR as Quazzo is only going to get his next weekend may only fancy a quick jaunt to Devils Dyke instead

[Chris_Blue]

How fars THURROCK Services from Southend? Could think of nicer places to meet than a services
Quite happy to meet QUAZZO another time at D.Dyke if he/she game, and he/she cant make SOUTHEND
If weathers good- Im a SOUTHENDER. Boom,,,, Boom....boom,boom,boom,boom (EASTENDERS theme start Ha!)

Phew glad we cleared that up!

Will look at maps tomorrow

[AJ07]

Well I think I have a route planned for our jaunt to Southend on Sunday 5th August.

Suggest we meet at the Nags Head Brook Street Brentwood
Address is 44 Brook Street Brentwood CM14 5ND

The plan is to have lunch somewhere in Stock which is between Ingastone and Battlebridge and then drive into Southend on the A127 for Cup of Tea of Coffee. This is a scenic route and takes in Hanningfield Reservoir which you may wish to throw me into if we get lost as i am a hopeless map reader!

Only problem is that I have never been to Southend and am planning the route using Google maps based upon a suggested route from Bensds3
who is working and cannot change his shift.

More details later but please remember this is a fairweather jaunt and may be cancelled at the 11th hour

List time?

Sounds fine AJ- although dont fancy getting lost
22 miles from Brentwood to Southend
See what other contributions are added, but as a few of us havent met before, maybe just meet at a pub on SOUTHEND seafront (With a car park) and go from there?
I could go early to find one?
Just a thought- or alternative suggestion. Quite happy to meet at Brentwood.

Like Southend walk on the pier although was a good few years ago pretty sure there is a carpark on the seafront , as for getting lost CBLUE get a satnav makes it so easy

[AJ07]

Southend is going to be very busy just seemed nice to take a country route to get there. We can have a nice pub lunch in the country and compare notes etc. Parking in Southend all together is going to be a nightmare. Just gone through the route and the chance of getting lost seems quite remote now.

[Quazzo]

Sounds a Good planned route AJ07 not sure if I shall make this one keep you posted during next week

[Ds3Dan]

That route sounds good, think it would be a good idea to meet there because as u say parking anywhere on the seafront can be a nightmare, especially if there is a few of us. I will definately be along for this
