So do I... The sooner I can get off the A21 & make my own way down to Rye the better. It's far too crowded in Hastings nowadays on that day. Unlike in '79... :whistle:

If it turns out as good as last year then i'll be there. Aiming to have something to eat in Rye then down to the conk for a drink.

Not sure what Ian's doing but I doubt that he'd want to go anywhere near Hastings...

Good idea...but there are a few thousand people at Locksbottom at around that time.

I normally park the bike to the right of the public toilet block then go walkabout for a while
