Mini meet Brighton - Sussex (UK)
 

Are there any overlanders in and around Brighton, Sussex who fancy meeting up for a few beers?

I know there are a few people scattered around, as I met a couple in Colombia a few years back, but lost there details while still on the road.

If you're planning your first trip I'm also happy to help, as it's always good to catch up with like minded people over a beer or two.

Personally I'm looking into a trip to Africa in the next few years.

I'm in Eastbourne, so Brighton's only a hop away. I might be away for some of October, but otherwise free.

Hi,

We are in Hove and were planning a trip!

Over in Kent......
 

Hi

I and several others are over in Kent - I wouold be willing to meet up for a evening, day, weekend, etc?? Anyone got any ideas when or where?

Know of a couple of others in that area who might come along

I was just going to suggest just meeting in a quietish pub, with some bike parking near by, perhaps on a Thursday or Friday in October, although I'm happy to go with the flow.

How are people fixed on Thursday 16th or Friday 17th October to meet up in a Brighton\Hove pub at around 7:30ish?

The idea was simply to get a few local people from horizons together for a beer, talking trips, bikes & the great unknown.

Danward79, have you got a local you'd recommend? If not I'm happy to suggest somewhere.

Iain.

Hi Iain,

It is probably best if you suggest somewhere. I am not to familiar with the local watering holes...

Dan

I have a couple of places in mind, but will just need to check out the parking, as the town centre is can be a bit nightmare.

Does anyone have any preferences on which day to meet up, especially Tim Cullis & ChrisC who've to travel a little further?

Iain.

Parking?
 

Hi

If I come along I will be in my Land Cruiser, so parking for suh nearby would be handy - I presume its open to 4wd overlanders??

Chris

In the town centre you have to pay to park cars, bikes are a little easier.

I could recommend a pub where there is free parking, but that would be on the outskirts of town.

Would people prefer the centre or are they not fussed?

The Hanover is a great pub, with parking close by, which is free at night on Queen Park Road, but it might be a bit of a trek from Hove.

Let me know what you think and if Thursday 16th October sounds good.

All welcome.

Iain.

Mind if another one turns up from Kent, Depends on final date arranged though.

Had been rebuilding a bike wreck and a friendly passerby told me about the meeting.
May I come as well?

BTW
The trusted map thingy was rubbish as regards my postcode location and the "Hanover" location is one street further North on googlemaps. I do not know which is correct though.

Hi,

I think that was me! I have still to get permission!

Dan

The more the merrier, everyones welcome.

It's looking like Thursday 16th October at 7:30pm in "The Hanover" pub in Brighton:

I'll print out an HU logo and put it on the table.

Iain.

It is in the diary
Thanks for the heads up Dan - You have to come now
The logo on the table idea Iain is better than us all wearing pink carnations.

Brightons only just down the road from me so I'll be coming along.
