satnavs are banned. I had a very bad experience with one in norfolk (i think). We will stick to a piece of paper taped to your tank carol, you will be fine just don't take crayons.

Have done the bends and yeah they are short but there is more road than just those two miles. Have heard of finchinfield but have no idea where it is, maybe for another day.

having consulted my best friend google i find finchinfield is only 35 miles from burnham on crouch. so....
meet in battlesbridge 10;30
on to burnham on crouch for a cuppa.
back along the bends the other way and on to finchinfield through maldon and witham.
then down to great dunmow and on to chipping ongar and finish in brentwood.

according to google maps its about 80 miles and should take, not including natural breaks and cups of tea etc about three hours riding.

just past the bridge in battlesbridge is the barge inn, next to the old telephone company on hawk hill. i will be meeting wonnie and carolrd350 there at 10;30. there may be a few others but it depends on hangovers and other commitments.
