I took the A605 last time, but I have a habit of taking different routes to get to the same place. This time I'll try the A1
I will be happy to pick you up from Kates Cabin. Northbound?

The only thing is that I do not usually get home from work until 6.00 so by the time I get there, it will probably be sometime after 7.00.

Cheers rippers,

Yep, Kates Cabin is Northbound (only). Go past the A605 and it is around 4-5 hundred yards further on. You will see the 300-200-100 yard markers before the turn in. I think its a BP garage. I'm round the back with the scruffy truckers :-)
Elton's dead easy from there. I'll PM you my number.
I'm normaly sloshed come 7pm :lol:

The M11/A605 roundabout was closed last night, Some hebert trucker didn't brake at the roundabout and took a 20-30 foot dive :shock:

Just phoned the Crown up and tried to book a table. They are all in a flap now (as usual). Got to speak to the chef to see if he can manage (didums)

I'm sure it will be fine :wink:

They did not exactly struggle to fit us in last time we were there. Maybe they are in a panic about having enough staff?

To avoid confusion it is the Crowne Inn!!

Come off it Dico, they always make a fuss, but it isn't normally a problem and they seem to fit us in to the crowded restaurant
