Canvey Island Transport Museum 08-10-2017

There were 7 of us on 6 bikes that met up at Otterspool Way for 9am . The sun was bright and forecast dry for the day. There were 3 Harleys in the group so we were outnumbered by them Yanks.

Steve led us on our journey which took just over one hour. Vinnie, Brian with Pat, Bill, Ray and I followed on. We got through the gates of the Canvey Island Transport Museum event and parked up. As usual we went upstairs for a cuppa then wondered by the stalls and bus museum.
While there we met up with Ray, Geoff and his girlfriend who as late arrivals were only permitted in by pushing their bikes through the gate. We then joined Laurie on the bus to the coast. At lunch Steve, Karen and Frank joined us at the café before we split and headed off in different directions.

Laurie bid farewell as he wanted to be home for F1 highlights. Brian, Vinnie and I walked along the seafront before returning to the museum again by bus.
One unusual aspect of where we lunched was that it’s below sea level!
We were fortunate to have good weather the whole day but a bit overcast at times. No waterproofs required (even when dining below sea-level, haha).
We covered about 130 miles and another good day out with the Busybees was had.
