Kent Village Mini-Cruise Sunday 8th September 2013
I'm looking to do mini-cruise, not a lot of miles, 40ish. We meet at Tesco Pembury TN2 4NE at 10.30 a.m. and leave at 11 a.m. So you can still have a Sunday lay-in. We will be going through many Kent villages and at finishing at Headcorn Aerodrome where we can have lunch/picnic, depending on the weather. At the Aerodrome there is a lot to see, light planes taking off and landing on a regular basis, parachutists, you can also book a short flight. There is also a museum and a café. http://www.headcornaerodrome.co.uk/
If it is too chilly for a picnic, I have a quirky tea room in mind for lunch, only 2 miles away. http://bloomsburysbiddenden.com/
This cruise will only take place if there is no rain forecast. If the forecast is not good, the cruise will be run at a later date, so it will be a top down cruise.
This is the proposed route. https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid= ... 8,0.824661
Anyone wish to join us.

Already in the diary Ron, we're looking forward to it, that sounds a great route for a mini-cruise. Lets keep fingers crossed that the weather is kind to us!

Good to have Dave & Sue on another cruise. Also looking forward to meeting Alan and Brian & Sue on this mini-cruise.
It will be the first time we would have had a Z1 on our cruise so that will be really good.

Re: Kent Village Mini-Cruise Sunday 8th September 2013
Hi Ian, I had just clicked on the forum to give a weather update and saw your post. Yes the weather looks good for tomorrow with plenty of sun and light winds, just a possible shower around noon.
I will keep an eye on the forecast and unless it changes drastically the cruise is on. I will post on here if the cruise is off tonight.
Not sure if it will be warm enough for a picnic so we have decided to get a meal deal from Tesco Pembury if it turns out it is warm enough. If not warm enough we will go the café in Biddenden.

Re: Kent Village Mini-Cruise Sunday 8th September 2013
Just checked the latest weather forecast and it looks good. Most of the day.
So we will see you all at 10.30 for a bit of Zed chat and photos before setting off about 11.00.
