3FIDDYZ Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Meet in the docklands somewhere for breakfast, go through a few tunnels, get out on some nice B Roads through some lovely villages, join the A27 somewhere and head through the lovely long tunnel, come off at Shorham and along the sea front to Brighton.... Fish and chips on the pier and a few goes on the racing simulators.... Anyone up for it? Am going to se if I can book somewhere to park at Maderia Drive....

RobD7 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Route looks cool Am up for meeting at any time you want, although sunrise whilst it rains/clouded over might not be so good! Not being negative but at that time of year British weather is unlikely to do us a favour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 True about the weather etc... but clouds and dim light can make for some good pics too!! Sunrise on the 16th is about 07.21 so best to meet about 06.45 somewhere for some early morning shots and then on to meeting point to leave by 8-8.30?
