Many thanks to Wun Tun for organizing the day, this was the offering email received

"Be prepared for a nice twisty turny ride through lanes through or close to:
 
Havering-Atte-Bower, Harold Hill, Navestock, Kelvendon Hatch, Stonedon Massey, Blackmore, Writtle,
 
A touch on the outskirts of Chelmsford then onto the A 1060 for a fast ride to Leaden Roding then up the B184 via Great Dunmow to Thaxted where we will stop for tea!
 
We will then move on to some more fast twisty lanes via the Bardfields, and Samplefords villages and onto the B 1053 to Saffron Waldon.
 
Following signs to M11 we pick up the B 1383 to Newport and turn right on the B 1038 to Buntingford where with a right and a left we pick up the A 507 to Baldock and after passing the A1 junction go down through Letchworth to Hitchin where we will lunch at The Anchor which is a Hungry Horse pub where you can eat ever so well for not a lot of cash!
 
From there we will head off back to from whence we came, either the pretty way via Stevenage and Hertford or we could blat down the A1 to the M25 and disperse from there! Any one who needs guiding from there please let me know!
 

So that is just what we did
