St Patrick's Day Ramble Joining Instructions

Dear Nerds,

To celebrate the Great Day we will walk on Monday 17th. Pity that the only true, 100% Irishman in tthe Nerds cannot be with us but he is in The Old Country on the day. Yes, I know that BT was born in Dublin - but that was an accident of birth , wasn't it?[NOT AT ALL].

Our ultimate destination is to have a couple of pints of Liffey water at The Fiddlers Elbow in Brighton.

 However our walk and the pub lunch will take place outside Brighton. A little complicated this, so pay attention! The walk ( which we have done before) starts on the Coast Road opposite Roedean School ( keep your lascivious thoughts to yourself). We then walk back along the Undercliff to Rottingdean and lunch at The Plough. Then inland a bit, along The Downs and back to our starting point. From there it is a bracing walk along the front into Brighton.

Now, it makes sense to do this by bus. ( Are there any NERDS sans 'Bus passes'?). My perusal of the bus timetable suggests that there is no.12 bus from Seaford Library at 10.24 arriving at Newhaven at about 10.35. I will take the train to Newhaven and go Lafayette's place and we will join the rest of you on the bus - hopefully. What can possibly go wrong?

I hope we have no 'soft weather' on the day. The luck of the Irish and the luck of The Nerds should see us through.

Lafayette - will you forward this to Dio?
