departure we will do a run, led by Hugh, of 30 miles or so and
end up at a hostelry located approximately 14 miles (as the
crow flies) in a south easterly direction from our start point.
Hopefully, this will help to even out the overall travelling
distances for anyone coming from the eastern side of our region.
If you would like to come along AND eat at
the pub can you please let me know asap and
by 11th February absolute latest so I can reserve
tables. .If you just want to come for the run only then, again,
please let me know asap but preferably before we depart on the

I'll see what the weather is doing but bearing in mind the time
of year it is likely our route will take in more, of what I'd
call, normal roads rather than tracks with grass down the middle!

| Just
a little bit more info on the "Wild West Run"
that "Gregg & Rachel" will
be organising .
This is going to be a relatively lengthy run into West
Sussex approximately 35 miles or
so and will take 1.5 – 2 hours depending
on your navigation skills as this will be a tulip
diagram run!
We know how much you all love these! Starting
at the
Kings Head, Chailey – 10
for a 10:30 staggered start.
The pub we are ending up at is a personal
favourite of ours and the food is excellent. They are more
than happy to accommodate us but we need a final figure on
numbers and a menu choice (to follow for those interested)
to ensure everything will run smoothly. They have a good range
of food from roasts (as it is Sunday) and excellent homemade
pies, pizza and gourmet burgers and it is well worth the trip.
We will need to know final numbers and menu choice for those
going by Thursday 1st September.
Please email
Gregg as soon as you can to let us know you are
attending, we will then give you a menu and you can make your
choices and we can let the pub know.

Bacon sandwiches and hot soup, tea and coffee
until opening time when , of course, beer
etc is available. The pub also does a good
range of reasonably priced meals. This
is a popular venue for Vet car watchers, and a good
range of classic cars usually make the car
park interesting. A number of the vet cars also stop to refuel
