Absolutely Ken, stood over me and made me eat it all she did.

If anyone is staying over on the Saturday in the general area, we are staying at the Fox and Hounds at Willingham by Stow if interested in a meet up?

For those that use it, here is the My-Route link for Tony's route (it says Alenod, thats just the username, its Tony's . . . )

Torksey Lock Cruise 2023

Route by AleNod. Car, changed 27-08-2023.

www.myrouteapp.com

You will need to sign in, but the free user tier is fine and theres no spam.

The animate button is pretty funky . . .

Use the Export button, you can download to Tom-Tom, Garmin or BMW Satnag thingy.

Small caution: Myroute makes it (I think) a little too easy to inadvertantly drag way-points out of position. The route is locked so this wont happen. If Myroute see's a mouse movement as trying to do that, it will ask if you want to unlock. Please select 'No'. If there is a whoopsie I have a back-up file so it is easy to fix though.

See you all on Sunday . . .

I think I am able to share a link to a pdf version of the route with road directions:

Hiya,

1. We will be meeting and departing from the White Swan at Torksey Lock as we have in the past. Meet from 9.00am. First group away by 10.00am.

Please bear in mind the White Swan is closed so no toilet access. If you pass a fuel station on your way might be a good idea to avail your selves of the facilities.
I'm surprised we haven't heard from Richard and Mary we trust they're both well. Looking forward to seeing you both.

Tony.

Bearing in mind the above and being a gentleman of a certain age . . . . I am planning on stopping briefly at the McDonalds at Markham Moor, the Exit of the A1 on to the A57, for a double espresso and a necessary:

Interchange, Markham Moor Roundabout A1/A57, Retford DN22 0QU

The postcode isnt exact, but the entrance to McD's is signposted and is off the Southbound Sliproad on to the A1.

No fixed time, just leaving myself enough time to then get to The White Swan for 09h00 (probably 20 mins or thereabouts).

Not an organised pre-meet, but for those travelling from that side and looking for options . . . if it helps . . .

Should have bought some of my 'Fiverties' Alex. Guaranteed to stop any leaks. NB: Possible side effects may include swelling of the wedding tackle.

 

[Eddie Zedder]

Put me on the list Tony.
May have to drop out later though as we may book a holiday that week.

Sorry @t-tony, just booked a last minute holiday so will have to pull out of this one.

 

[reddyzeddygo2]

Sorry Tony, we're not able to join in the run on 10th now. We just got back from a holiday with bad flu symptoms and have both tested positive for Covid!

 

[t-tony]

Oh, that's a shame. Hope you both feeling better soon. I know it can be a bad one, our Abbie has just had it.

Tony.

 

[Rod and Kate]

Giving you all warning now if it’s likely to get as hot as it says it will the shorts will be on so sorry but the milk bottles will be out

You too, nice, Barry White quote. ( Get it Oooon!! )

 

[t-tony]

Sorry @t-tony, just booked a last minute holiday so will have to pull out of this one.

OK Bryan, thanks for letting me know mate. Have a good holiday. Where you going?

Tony.

Tony.

We're off to Bangers & Cash land for a few days Tony, not in the Zed though, got the mother-in-law in tow .

See you all there on Sun, Tony has kindly made a space for me. Shouldn’t have a problem with the route as the car being Tony’s previous Z4 should know it’s way round there with its eyes closed, “ME” I’m lost straight out of Tony’s drive.
First event with this Z4 and first long drive for a couple of yrs. Fingers crossed ???? Naaaaa not with this one.
Can’t wait to go down my fav road.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.....

I am driving up Saturday and staying at the Black Swan in Marton for a couple of nights.


And I have even spent an hour today cleaning this…with two buckets of water….so…… If it gets dirty on the way up

it will stay dirty…. But at least I made the effort

 

[t-tony]

If it gets dirty on the way up Malc I can help there.

Tony.

 

[t-tony]

By the way, I didn't know you used the "2 bucket" method mate.

Tony.

 

[Mazza]

Normally its just one… but went that extra mile today
