I did say Id do Braintree and Oxford for the last game. Got to be honest, we've got a fair bit of time but we will need to make sure Im collared and places cant be reserved until payment is received.
Braintree: Roughly out of Welling and Bexleyheath (Belle) at 10:00 for arrival at Maldon of about 11:10. Theres going to be a good 3 hours there for fantastic beer, famously good food and such before a dash across to Braintree for close to start time. Once its over, well be back to the Belle with a stop off at Crook Log if needed.
Oxford: Out of Welling and Bexleyheath (Belle) at 09:45 to arrive in High Wycombe at about 11:15. Mad Squirrel Brewery and other fantastic beer houses await for just under 3 hours before going straight to Oxford City. On the way home, well be to one of my favourite Micropubs at Bourne End and then after a refreshment break back home. The Belle will also be hosting a small end of season party.
thekentishbelle@gmail.com is the place to email if you want some places!
Just had a look... There's also some options if you wish to take another person for a ride on the bus and have lunch in Maldon (great restaurants etc) as we can drop off at Braintree Village and they can go shopping and we'll get them on the way back.
Braintree will be £21 and Oxford will be £23. Train tickets for 'turn up and go' are £35 to Braintree and £31 to Oxford.
I'll be at Hemel and St Albans, as well as being able to take bookings in the Belle. We must get 25 people for each bus by March 4th to get them both sewn up.
