It’s 12 miles and we may get a stop in at a canal side pub or coffee shop in Hackney. But bring usual picnic stuff too.
All emails to Andrew andrew@workingidea.co.uk if you’re keen to join this trip (I’m not able to join for this one). Importantly, let him know whether you’re willing and able to drive (roof bars, V bars etc). We need more drivers and V bars this season please if we can. Help is always v much appreciated. You’ll get petrol money, glory and possibly even cake.
