Things to do: The site is about 3mls from the town centre, a bus service runs from a stop about 500mt from the site gate. Colchester is Britain's oldest recorded town, it was the Roman capital, much of the old walls remain and the castle is open to visitors, quaint streets with a bustling shopping centre. Colchester Zoo is about 2mls from the site.. Woodland nature reserve next to site, great for walking the dog and enjoying some peace and quiet .. Abberton reservoir and RSPB bird reserve is about 3mls away.. Abberton Bird reserve Next to the site there is a country club with bar and restaurant open to day visitors.. haven't used it so can't comment on it, the nearest pub is about 1ml from the site. If there is any interest I will get more information.. Further away you can visit Clacton on Sea and Mersea Island.. That's about it, it's not an organised w/e.. feel free to do as you like or just relax and enjoy a BBQ with friends.. If interested please post on this thread.. with your prefered date, if there is enough interest we could have a meet on either or both w/ends. Address The Lodge Layer Road Kingsford Colchester CO2 0HS GPS 51.859900, 0.867600 Edited by ScotJimland, Jun 22 2009, 02:14 PM.

As the CL owner has bookings pending for these days I have to cancel the meet. Jim

But son Simon is busy laying a drive to his NEW LARGE GARAGE. We also have Doctor's, Hospital, Dentist etc to attend. Last time I was in Colchester was when I visited Sandy who's father was based there in the Catering Corp. Used to like going off to the seaside whenever I was there.
	Been there and done that, but never stop learning. We are not dreaming. We are doing it for real.
