Home RTTW 2009 Updates Update 1 - 24/9/09
Jul 31
Saturday
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
 

High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,

Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee
No 412 squadron, RCAF
Killed 11 December 1941

I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

Meeting up points

If you are planning to travel to Drayton Manor in a group and wish to announce it for others to join please post the details and timings on the Forum under 'Meeting up Points '. I am aware that a few posts have been added but this will make it easier for others to view in one place . Most important info is Start Locations, any stops on the way plus timings.

On the Ride

Please , Ride with Respect – Not to impress . Please keep to a 40mph limit and do not overtake . The ride will be broken up into sections but the route is fully marshaled so you cannot get lost . Splitting up the ride helps with parking at the Arboretum as it should help prevent jams and waiting there.
If you want to ride with your friends , please arrive with them or arrange to meet up before entering Drayton Manor

Post Event function

There will be an organised Post Event function that everyone is welcome to attend . More details will be posted on the next update

Flag Bearers

Flag bearers will be directed at the Registration point. Bottom gate. They will form up just outside the main parking area.
