Sussex Pub Sunday.
 

OK, midday or a little sooner, Sunday 21 October at the Six Bells in Chiddingly, East Sussex. All welcome for a chat and welcoming new HUBBers. Lindsay.

See you there.

See you there Nigel

Would love to but meeting friends for lunch already, damn!

Damn. Catch a flight from Heathrow at 13:00. Next time.

Then the next Sunday.
 

Why not meet again the next Sunday to drink away the depressing thought that it's the end of British Summer Time?! Lindsay.

Rain.
 

Hi, to confirm that sticks and stones may break my bones, but rain will never hurt me. Still going. Lindsay.

:frown: Promised to take the lovely Mrs. W to the rugby. Now given that I'm just back from 3 weeks on the bike in Morocco, if I want to get a pass for Iceland next year, I'd better honour my promise.

Sunday
 

Yup I'll be there. I'm pre-shrunk.

I'll be the guy with the strange English.....err, American accent.

Sunday
 

Cool. See you there.

Argh, can't do that one either!

Phew!
 

Just got back from picking grapes in an English vinyard! This year's vintage is going to be very rare indeed! What happened to July and Augusts' weather? I'll visit the Six Bells again this Sunday at noon...it only opens at noon and food, if wanted, should be ordered immediately to avoid the rush. Rats! I didn't expect the privately hired classic London double decker bus with its 50 passengers and their live band! The pub was packed! I only met two HUBBers but don't know if there were others due to the 20 or so regular bike visitors...this being a local meeting place. This Sunday should be quiter. Linsdsay.

and not a single sloe in sight :stormy:
Any down your end Linzi?
p.s if ever you pass a fishing shop on your seaside strolls , could you pop in and see if anyone has a lightweight nylon fine fishing net ( for hand casting use?)
Tks amigo bier

Sloe?
 

Hi Bertrand, what is a sloe? You need to keep the English simple for me!!! Sure, I'll check out the fishing shops. Lindsay.

Sloes are the small, bitter fruits of the blackthorn bush and are some of the wild foods I like to pick each year to make sloe gin:D

Yep.
 

Hi Bertrand, I found out yesterday afternoon what sloes were. Ah Ha. So it's not Slow Gin then! I had always thought it was made in some special and slow way. I can vouch for there having been stinging nettles there and lots of thick, lush grass. Pity about the lack of grapes though. Lindsay.

Six Bells
 

Good to meet you last week, the pub was a bit rammed wasn't it. I'll try and get there again this week but, as I explained last week, I have a prior family commitment that I need to fulfill so will only be there if I can sneak off without being noticed. Otherwise see you next time.

A little late !
 

Saw this post, haven't been there for years. Still good food ?

Six Bells
 

Can't say for sure as I never ate there but, from what others say it has a good reputation, there was certainly enough people there last time I went - perhaps they were 'only here for the beer'.

I might just give it a try with the family over the next couple of weeks, it's only down the road from me, if I do I'll let you know.

Good food.
 

Hi, yes the food is very good quality. Not to be called pub food which in UK is usually heated frozen "food". The Six Bells' food is freshly made. Lindsay.

Newbee in Sussex
 

Hi ya,
I have just joined the forum today and found this old thread while browsing. Is there any meetings or get-together's In Sussex on a regular basis going on ?. I cant find county specific threads so here I am !

Thanks'

Good to meet
 

Saw this thread again, would be nice to meet some local guys and girls, new to all this bike adventure travelling stuff! :D

and southernsoftie (welcome aboard).

No reason why you should not set a place and time for a suggested meet. Keep in mind this section is "Yamaha tech", and there is the "communities" and the "bar". As a starter Spring comes but once a year, March 20th!
Might even get to see you all this time around.

Sussex Pub Sunday
 

Anyone up for trying to get this off the ground again???

If anyone is thinking of meeting at the Six Bells there is a great campsite just a short stagger through the fields, proper camping and they allow camp fires.
Reviews of Merrylands @ Chiddingly , Hailsham, East Sussex Campsite
I have no affiliation with either the pub or campsite, but have drunk the beer and slept in the fieldbeer

Pick a date
 

I suppose its just a case of picking a couple of dates .......
