Littlestone - Sunday 26th February 2017

[Papas1982]

Didn't realise how far away the course was to Deal, saying 1hr, is that because I'm doing it now in rush hour or is it a good hour anyway?

It's giving me a couple of options, what looks like a coastal road A259 to A20 into Deal or go back out A2070 and come back in on the M20/A20, which is best樂

An hour would be about right mate. New Romney is a pain in the backside to get to!

also, as you head from Folkestone towards Dover there is an 8m stretch of 40mph average cameras!

You planing for gettback for a curry lol

in regards best route back, once we finish I'll give a colleague a call, working at the docks he'll know if operation stack is on and if we should avoid Dover.

Give her my best, from a blue angel 😜😂

Sunday evening, i would probably go coastal route. Anyone going along M20 Folkestone to Dover- if the speed cameras are still there DON'T speed, they have been real cash cows, its a ridiculously slow 40mph but loads have been done along the stretch!

Last year I sailed (&#9972 through Dover early Monday morning even though it has far too many stupid islands 😳 this will be between 5-6pm on s Sunday so I just wondered if there was a stark difference.

Dover has an entire new road layout now. No roundabouts to get along the seafront.

The o lynissue will be if operation stack has been on. Which is likely with the weather, meaning a2 into Dover and through will likely have one lane as a car park. As long as no truck drivers try to be clever and make use the second lane it shouldn't be too bad.

Ooops!

our company director has to go from Dover to ashford for meetings almost daily. The limits are a joke, they do nothing but make Kinney, as the problem (congestion) only occurs through twelfth of freight traffic and 80% of that is foreign lorrys which pay no attention to the limits.

You're right to be worried Charlie………

I have just noticed that all those attending Littlestone will be there for the whole 3 days. Are we going to make this a official GM Forum tour event with 3 scores counting? Another KoK....... (King of Kent)

Although I will be out of the running with early starts all 3 days :fore::rant:

Hmm, I suppose we could have a secondary title and pot for those attending all 3 days with an accumulative score, interesting 🤔

with the current weather forecasts. I think surviving all three days will be an achievement.

Not all as I'm not doing rcp. My shoulder won't allow me to do 3 round in 3 days and I played rcp last year

 

[Hooker]

I see, I was cross referencing the 3 threads saw you on the 2 days so thought you must be all 3.

I think there are 10 of us doing 3 days then?

..............also lodging in a pub with fish and murph :cheers: we probably deserve a Medal for surviving 3 days .

Well one out of two's not bad! Thanks mate, and indeed all of you for your kind wishes. Mrs BiM has had a nail put down the centre of her humerus to realign it and the loose bits have been reattached by plates & screws. Sounds nasty but it is the better option than the shoulder replacement as the tendons don't attach to it like they do your bones. She was still out with the fairies on the anaesthetic, but provided she is discharged & home I have a couple of sitters lined up for Sunday so I should be good. :thup:
