Title: Getting a walk at the Luton APAT
Post by: technolog on October 01, 2010, 21:42:28 PM: For any Friday afternoon early arrivals. I"m looking at doing a 5 or 6 mile footpath walk somewhere near Luton.

It"s all tentative at the moment but probably drive out from The Days Hotel, Luton at about 3pm Friday, do the walk, back for about 5.30-6, get showered up and out on the lash.

If you"re interested stick yer name down.

Post by: Chipaccrual on October 01, 2010, 21:53:28 PM: Would definitely be interested in this. I will be there on the Friday, but not sure exactly what time at the moment.

If I can get there for 3pm, then count me in.

This walk may have the edge for stimulation purposes!

Post by: Claw75 on October 05, 2010, 19:21:03 PM: come on you slackers - lets be having you. I don"t entirely trust Jack to find a route avoiding all fields with cows in, and will need lots of people to hide behind as they stare me out with their beady little eyes

I know cows don"t have beady little eyes, but you get my point.

Post by: AAroddersAA on October 05, 2010, 23:05:36 PM: This actually sounds cool go, go for a nice heathly walk before having a few beers, that way you feel like you deserve them more - excellent plan. Unforunately I have a client meeting to attend that Friday and so I will have to pass and see you all on Saturday.

Damn real life getting in the way of APAT/Poker/Beer again !!!!

So basically, you"re happy enough to meet and greet a few bovines then?

Close encounter with this fella recently - took a photo so I could get him arrested & charged with harrassment.

Post by: PHIL_TC on October 06, 2010, 10:59:23 AM: ^^^^^ Its all in the eyes

Doubt I"ll be down in time Jack otherwise would have loved to get involved, not leaving the good old North East until after lunch time. Will definitely be there for when you all get back for a well deserved beer though.

Leigh

I was waiting to see if anymore registered an interest.

At the moment I think it"s just you, Claire and I (think Dukey was joking :))

If the three of us are still wanting to venture out then I"ll have a look for a route. It"d be nice to pull in a hill :) and perhaps some waterside strolling. I"ll be taking walking boots - could be a bit muddy in places - but some old, sturdy shoes that you don"t mind getting dirty would be fine I"m sure.

I"ve promised Claire (on pain of death) no more than 6 miles.

Just for the avoidance of doubt, I"ll be just as happy to abandon the plan and make an early start at the bar ;D

I"ll leave it down to you to decide then.

I"ll pack my walking stuff anyway, if it"s just 6 miles, I"ll travel light. ;D

I will reluctantly ;) have to begin my quest to cure your bovophobia at a future, more scenic APAT venue. I will be looking for assistance with my emetophobia on Friday.
