Essex Bois and Girls January Run

Meet - Braintree Freeport Designer Village!!!
Time - 9.30am (for a 10:00am sharp departure time!)
Date - Sunday 18th January 2004
Route - Braintree > Stansted > Sawbridgeworth > Chelmsford > Braintree???

Meet at the Factory Outlet / Designer Village (Freeport) thing - at 9.30am, leave at 10am??? (time to be settled)

Route - well since Wrenny lives there - I think he should plan the route??? (

) I can help with certain roads, as I used to live in Chelmsford, and work in Sawbridgeworth - nice road that one!

Any ideas? Please post them here, and I will incorporate them into my plan!

If you want to come, please post, so we can get an idea of numbers!

m1les · Dec 29th, 2003, 10:57 AM

Stick us on the list, we can actually make this one

If you like, I can add a bit to the route to go from Sawbridgeworth - Roydon - Jack Hatch - Epping Green - Epping - North Weald - somewhere back towards Chelmsford.

Let me know and I will start planning

addman · Dec 29th, 2003, 07:08 PM

Alas, we can't do the 18th - we can either do the weekend before or the weekend after...

I'll keep an eye and see if the date changes

If not, have a good one!

Happy new year to y'all.

Ad.

ChrisBuer · Dec 31st, 2003, 11:12 AM

Ahhh, you've gotta change the date so Addman can come. Its not the same without that crazy mofo there

rasp · Jan 2nd, 2004, 11:49 PM

We would like to come to this one!

Rasp.

ChrisBuer · Jan 3rd, 2004, 12:47 AM

Yeah I'd like to see you're exhaust Rasp! Something I might have done

addman · Jan 3rd, 2004, 06:55 AM

Good news, we've been able to change our plans a bit, so we can now make the 18th anyway!

Gazza, if you end up testing the route, I've switched to TomToms now - haven't explored though whether there's a way of transferring the route as a file? That would be cool.

Can I bagsy the back of the pack as I led the last one? ;-)

ChrisBuer · Jan 4th, 2004, 11:43 AM

Whoo hoo! Looks like we'll have a bit of a turn out!

Good idea Les be nice to bring a few mini's to town...

GazzaK · Jan 5th, 2004, 12:19 AM

Okay, from Braintree we can go to Chelmsford via the main roads, through Chelmsford to the A1060 then along that to Sawbridgeworth, then I will hand over to m1les to his planned Sawbridgeworth>Roydon>Jack Hatch>Epping Green>Epping>North Weald>Chelmsford route.

I will try my hardest to get a route plan done for my short bit, m1les - can you please get a route plan similar to my Clacton run plan done? people need to be able to keep up if they lose the leaders...

do your mileage as culmalaive, ie start at 0, after 2.1 miles take a left on blind corner, then after a further 1 mile take the right onto coopers lane, then after 3 miles turn onto the a123 north bagpuss road..... something like that - maybe even include some map images and photos???

This one sounds fun...

Ginger · Jan 5th, 2004, 04:36 PM

Hmmm, sounds like fun. Shame I won't have a MINI by then.

The memories though ginger, think of the memories

OK, pencil at the ready "Straight over, left, right, left etc" I can do this

I can see a nice little detour around Sumners coming along here

So whats it worth not to go past your front door then Dave?

Ginger · Jan 5th, 2004, 05:08 PM

Many more memories to come. New Cooper on the way....

shelts · Jan 5th, 2004, 05:43 PM

Count me as a good contender on the maybe list!!!! I'm also tryin to get a guy from St Albans along, who is the son of a bloke I work with. He's just run his coop in, so will be wanting to wring its neck, like the rest of us!!

I'll keep an eye on the thread to check on pwogwess.

Oh! Ah!.... I forgot to tell you.... I have moved

m1les · Jan 10th, 2004, 11:00 AM

Ok, I've sorted the route from Sawbo to Hatfield Heath, I'll have it typed and emailed in the next day or so. It works out about 40 miles of some very twisty roads and sharp bends that will keep you on your toes.

As I see the list at the moment:-

GazzaK
m1les
addman
ChrisBuer
Rasp
Garth
Wrenny
N31L
Shelts?

Have I missed anyone?

The Sawbo to Hatfield Heath bit of the route is in the attachment in the next post.

Seems I can add the .doc file as an attachment

Mileage is give or take

How are we getting to Braintree? Anybody want a pre run run? Meet at M11 J7 MacD's then do M11 A120? Say 08.30?

wrenny · Jan 10th, 2004, 06:40 PM

Yes Gazza, I will be there.

I have kept sufficiently quiet in order to allow the natural "organisers" to use all that expensive, and otherwise useless, kit they have bought.

Roll on the 18th.

Miles, I live in Braintree so won't be joing the pre-run run. I will say though that when you exit the M11 exit onto the "new" slip road which carries on after the "1st exit! which still goes up-to the roundabout. Essentially stay on the "new" road which eventually links up with the old A120. Its a good road - nice and quick aswell as empty, no speed cameras yet !

If you have already tried it then..........I will click my fingers after three and you will remember nothing.

when is the pre run?
