It's time for another local meet!

As per usual, the North London meet will actually be a good few miles north of London in leafy Hertfordshire. We shall be meeting at around 10 am on Sunday 19th August at The Cowper Arms in Letty Green (in between Hatfield and Hertford).

It's about 15 minutes away from the Potters Bar junction of the M25 and it's also a good rural starting point for a morning's hoon if anyone wants to go on a post/pre-meet drive.

Directions
The scenic route from Potters Bar/A1000: Follow the A1000 north as Potters Bar gives way to Brookmans park. Go past the traffic lights for the B157 junction and about 150yds further up there's a turning to the right signposted 'Essendon B158'. Follow this road into the village of Essendon (about 3.5 miles) and out the other side. After you leave the village and the road returns to NSL you want to take the second road on your left. It's a very sharp turn and it's unsignposted. After that you want to keep following the road to Letty Green, through the village and out the other side. The pub is on your right immediately after you pass underneath a railway bridge.

From the A1/A414: Take the A414 (heading east if you're coming from the A1) until you come to a roundabout (the 3rd I think) signposted Cole Green and Birch Green. After you pass through a couple of traffic islands there's a signpost on the the right to Letty Green. Follow this road (if you overshoot it there's another turning about 50 yds later) and the pub is on your left about 1/4 mile later.

(Neither way is as complicated as it sounds, I promise. The post code is SG14 2NL, but some sat navs do have trouble locating it!)


The Cowper Arms will be open and will be offering their delicious bacon sarnies as per usual.

So, come and join us. We don't care what you come along in. We're a friendly bunch and all are welcome!

Please add your name to the list. Subject to confirmation (i.e. us asking him) there's likely to be another run organised by celebrated hoonmeister Plenty. If you're interested in getting up at an ungodly hour for a spirited drive then let us know by adding RUN at the end.

Attendees.

1. Chris71 - Porsche 924

There is also the supercar meet around that way on the 21st July so probably best the date was changed.

It's been off the road for over a year. I blew the engine up in fairly spectacular style in the Costa Brava last year and had to have it trailered back to the UK. As we speak it's being prepared to have a new 5-litre V8 Developments engine fitted and I only got a week out of the newly installed suspension before the previous engine went pop so much of the car will be new to me once it's back on the road!

Hi guys,

I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out of this one as my mum has just gone in for a major operation and that weekend is going to be my only chance to get back home and pay her a visit while she's recuperating. The meet/run will of course proceed as normal.

Hope everyone has a good time and I'll catch you for the next one.
