The magnificent new Eco friendly 30 bed YHA @ Eastbiurne just opened in May 09 and already constantly booked. The plan for those that can join in is to combine this hostel trip with the MWW ride on Wednesday 15 July with 11's @ Hookwood Tesco and then on to joint lunch with East Sussex CTC at West Hoathly for the annual lunch. From there it's 35mls to the YHA and so should be quite pheasible. Ed the rides leader of the day has enthusiastically agreed to the idea, so now all we need is the people/bikes. There are only 10 beds still available on Wednesday night and 13 in the Thursday night 16 July. The plan would be to return home on Friday 17 July via the Cookoo trail much as we did when we did the Eastbourne B&B. I have jumped the gun and already made a provisional booking of 10 beds (2 - woman & 8 men) which must be firmed up with the warden Wendy by Wednesday 1 July this week. At present I have 5 definite men (to be absolutely confirmed by 1st July). So far no lady takers who would be accommodated in twin ensuite room!I plan to canvas for 5 more riders at Cobham 1st July, hopefully two will be ladies but if not we'll have to convert them to men and let them burn us off on the hills as they often do, especialy Liz.
