Okee so I did a final test run today...

I can easily remember the first half... but I got lost 4 times on the second half because I forgot where to go... this section may be very interesting next weekend for all the wrong reasons :lol:

I won't say how many times I went up and down the same stretch of road trying to find the correct bloody turning on one particular section

The car park on Saffron Walden common does have a motorbike bay... probably enough for 4 or five... maybe six at a push, but if like today two selfish knobs take up the whole thing then we would be heading to the second car park and have a little walk through the picturesque part of Saffron Walden.

I just need to use some plastic from one of my spare screens to knock up a cover for my phone so I can use it as satnav...

I might come along, if I have a new scoot by the weekend and get my release pass! I may chip off at Castle Hediingham though (assuming the route is clockwise).

Its planned to be anti clockwise... although it might actually help me find my way if we go the other way round...

It would mean me starting at the bit I forget so am more likely to get it right as it would be more fresh in my mind... I think... :lol:

We will do clockwise.

Boboking: Everyone will if I keep stopping turning round and going back again... at the weekend I went up and down the same stretch of road about 6 times and then gave up :lol:
