    An FYI for people coming from East London - although Hampstead Heath station itself is open, large parts of the Overground network east of there are closed for some or all of the weekend for engineering work. Details here: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/realtime/track.aspx?offset=weekend

    I suggest we meet outside the Hampstead Heath Overground station between 3 and 3:15 tomorrow afternoon, then head up to the Heath.

    For those joining later, give me a shout and I'll provide directions - we'll aim for pretty much the same spot as we went to last month.

    As ever, if this is your first time coming along, drop me a PM so we can exchange numbers and I'll keep you posted on any developments.

    Great stuff Fysh!
    I shall be there with blankets and bunting!
    Will contact a few people who used to be on boards but arent as active..more the merrier!

    Bring your own grub/drinks/suncream/something to sit on if you dont want to risk ants in your pants. There is a Marks and Spencers nearby the station but I imagine it will be jammers!

    Don't fret, the current plan is to do the same thing next weekend. I figure we may as well make hay squirm uncomfortably in the heat while enjoying banter and beverages while the sun shines :)

    Redirected here from the ladies' meet-up thread, as I said there, I'm a newbie in the city so I'd love to tag along! Unfortunately, I'm working tomorrow morn/afternoon and not sure what time I'll be finished so might not make it. Fysh, going to drop you a PM incase I get away early-ish!

    The weather report today predicts that we should have sunshine starting around 2-3 and lasting until 8 or 9, so I say we go for it. If anything the Heath might be less crowded due to the overcast morning, which would suit us :)

    I had originally planned a second picnic expedition this weekend; however, the WeatherFolk have advised that it's likely to be A Bit Rubbish, so I'm going to call it off.

    August is looking pretty busy for me, so we may not have the next Beers until sometime in September. We'll see how we go, though.

    So much for BBC weather. Amazing day so far.
    Anyone fancy a trip out to Ealing Broadway for a few quiet ones.
