As things stand I would like to join in on this run. Looking forward to brushing off the cob-webs from the old machine
and meeting up with the other Muppet. Ginge, are you going to North Kyme and traveling by way of Lincoln?

Good to meet some of you members from this site,nice ride in to Skeggie,plenty of Harley's about,it turns out there' a big hog rally about 4 miles from where we are staying.
I've worked there ain't many petrol stations in Lincolnshire,we found one where petrol was advertised at 47 pence a litre.........it had been shut for some time though
I trust you all got to you home destinations ok,we will set of for home about 10,taking a nice bimble via the country lanes.
regards
Steve

That's 'cos there ain't many cars in Lincolnshire!!! Mind you, we have got rid of most of the horses and carts, and most of us have got electricity now!
Thanks to all involved yesterday Steve, it was a great day out. Enjoyed our Skeggy chips, then a quick blast home.

I dream about electricity, and you think you've had it hard, we used to live in cardboard box in 't middle of road, then have to like road clean half an hour before we got up. or did I see that on Python

OK....for you wonderful muppets that i met on Saturday,
THIS is the route we took on Saturday,i had it on my Garmin,but also tracked myself with an app on my iphone,if you zoom in you can see where i have doubled backed on myself,thats where Dave got his puncture(Mareham on the hill)it even shows me walking up someone's drive to talk to him,then further in Alford it shows a load of zig zagging,i was walking around a pub,thats where we stopped for a tea and caught the rest of the gang up.
THIS is the route we took from Sth Mimms to Nth Kyme
